Pros
- It includes lots of useful functions
Cons
- It may be a little difficult to use
Although rather expensive and lacking the editing features of some photo managers, this is by far the best *serious* photo manager that I've yet worked with, and its handling of IPTC metadata puts it in a class of its own.
