It's for me to apologise, Marc, as I was unjustly criticising Picasa.

I apologise if I'm misunderstanding you here, Piers, but Picasa 2 allows you
to set up a "database-like" setup, permitting you to assign your photos to
multiple "folders" and also allowing you to attach "keywords"
to images. That was basically what I had got into the meat of before my hard
disk started having issues, and it was basically what I saw as its primary
purpose.
(Note, I don't know much about Lightroom beyond browsing the website a bit
in recent times, but I am almost certain that it goes well, *well* beyond
Picasa 2 in image processing and workflow. Picasa is relatively simplistic,
and I'd say that in the image-adjustments area it is rather "happy-snap" in
its approach).
Cheers,
Marc
