A program that is also capable of producing goot output is Adobes Lightroom.

(I wonder why this hasn't been mentioned yet).

If you stick with one of the older versions is runs quite well on 32bit with 4GB ram

(I used it a while in this setup). I personally do not like the GUI ... I also do not like

Adobes way to import everything into its own "library" ... I always droped the

library after use and started with a new and empty one ... I never used

Lightroom as an image organiser ... a real pity one cannot properly get

rid of that part. ... Nevertheless ... the output is more than ok ... so,

regarding the relatively low price of lightroom, that might also be a way to go

for you. ... You can download a 30day trail from Adobes webpages.
