The images stay where they are, and the database merely tracks them and displays them inside the LR environment. Lightroom does not "copy or move the images into its own image database on disk." I've heard that Lightroom does it in the latter manner - namely it maintains its own image database.
I know Picasa organizes in the former manner. Or it copies or moves the images into its own image database on disk. Simply catalog the images it finds on your hard drive(s) and leaves those files where they are. Your milage may varyĮssentially organizers work one of two ways. I see no adavantage for me in using Lightroom, and The organizer that comes with Elements is terrible. I think Picasa is more than adequate for my needs. Picasa is also handy if I want to email a photo quickly as it works with me gmail account and it also is good when I want to post to a picasa web album. Zoner is a very nice as a viewer but Picasa has better search features.
BETTER THAN PICASA PHOTO VIEWER WINDOWS
I can move or delete files in Picasa and windows keeps up, same with zoner. All my organizing is done with Picasa or Zoner or even in windows sometimes because they all keep track of the files. For the same reason I don't use bridge with cs2. I do not use lightroom or the oraganizer in ps elements for organizing because they don't play well together. I prefer to edit jpgs in photoshop as well. I really don't use lightroom much, when I work on RAW files I will generally use photoshop. I have lightroom ver 3, picasa, photoshop elements, photoshop cs2, and a viewer/organizer called Zoner photostudio.
