Oh, forget Picmonkey, it won't do what you are asking.

Abobe Lightroom is a standard. If you have a Mac and a smaller budget, then look at Apple's Aperture.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions.
To Snowbear: LOL, I don't have a Mac, do have a Iphone and not crazy about it, so not a real Apple fan, think they are over-rated, plus, you mentioned if you have a Small Budget, there is nothing small budget when your dealing with Apple, nope, I have the PC Windows, good enough...but I am sure if you have MAC this would be a great program. Thanks again.

Why not just use windows if you want to move the photos from the card to the hard drive? or am I misunderstanding the question? Bob.

Paint Shop Pro is also a great program and is cheaper than Lightroom. I use both of them equally.

I'm a Mac user but I find Aperture to be not so hot. One the other hand, Pixelmator, an economical program for Mac devices is a wonder. Interestingly, it comes with a built in Channel Mixer which is important for infrared work. It's not too expensive, IMO a near perfect photo manipulator and integrates perfectly with Mac's free iPhoto app.

I also think Photoshop it too expensive for photo hobbyists such as I.

Get Lightroom and take a pass on the free stuff as it does not compare. If you need additional editing get Adobe Elements. I find that Lightroom does just about everything that a digital photographer needs unless you are going artistic and need the capabbilities of Photoshop.
