You guys probably saw the news a few months back -- Google has dropped the entire Picasa product line https://picasa.google.com/ - If you hit the site they tell you "sorry dude, no dice. You need to use Google Photos".
Well, the issue with Google Photos is I want the images on my main box and don't want to upload them into the Google cloud.
So -- Does anyone have a good list of alternatives to Picasa I can test out on a Windows box or a Mac? I would prefer to stick with Windows for all my photography (I know, that sounds odd) but, If I need to flip to my Mac for my photo archive, I guess I can do that...
oh - and although I would like to stay with Freeware, if I have to spend under $100, I guess I'm OK with that also.
Thoughts?
