I need recommendations for organizing software. I found a site rating the top 10, but I'd never heard of any of them, so I wonder if they are just plugging their product.

I have probably between 15K and 20K digital photos on my computer. I have the ones I've taken in a system: a folder for the year (e.g. 2012), and within each year, a folder for the month. Then within the month, if there are enough that go together (e.g. "beach", "Illinois trip"), I make a subfolder for those. I leave the rest in the general month folder.

Digital photos from scans and other sources are in all kinds of folders.

I have Photoshop Elements 13 but I'm worried about their move to the cloud and charging per month. My Elements 13 might not work in operating systems in the future. And what if I quit taking photos in 10 years - I don't want to have to pay a monthly fee just to keep access to my photo organization.

The other day I downloaded Picasa 3, and it ran and found all my photos and displayed them, showing the folders they are in, so I'm thinking about using it.

So what do you recommend for simply organizing photos? It doesn't have to be free, but it shouldn't hurt the checking account too much.
