Another choice...although I haven't heard anyone on the list mention
they're using it...is Cyberlink's PhotoDirector. It's a LR look-alike
currently on sale via Cyberlink's web site. Works with a 64-bit OS and
processes files at a 16-bit level.

A quick round up from the many helpful and thought provoking replies:
John mentions Lightroom freeing up. I have a copy of PSE v9. So why, you may
ask, am I asking questions about software. I can only use it to crop or
resize photos. Any more than this and the computer freezes or causes some
other issue which ruins my whole day. Now I have no idea why that might be
and it's too late to worry about it, but I wonder if buying an upgrade pack
to v13 would cure it?
Paul pointed out that LR is a non destructive method of altering photos. I
hadn't heard of the OnOne suite until today and a quick look at one of the
tutorials shows it also works from copies, which I think is a good thing.
Your comments about PSE v13 also make me consider the upgrade again.
Bruce, Bob and Ken; I can see there is strong support for what LR can do,
especially in the latest version, and I think that's my first choice so far.
I'll see what else I need if anything. Obviously, it will take a good while
to become familiar with what it can do anyway.
It is most interesting to see the different way this is tackled. For some
reason, I've had it in my mind that PS was the only real choice (good
advertising?) but that clearly is not the case.
