Processing images after the shoot can be tedious. The best image organizers run fast. No lagging. They allow you to quickly sort the sometimes thousands of images from a trip or shoot. Adobe Lightroom and I have had a rocky relationship. It cost money for one thing. Which mean I couldn't spend that money on lenses. It also had a bad habit of not playing well with my network storage. And it did this weird thing of pulling its database into a giant library. It made the program run fast. But it used up a huge amount of disk space. Adobe addressed this issue in more recent releases.
I have tried various other methods including file explorer. Lately, I have been using Darktable. Nice program with a bit of a learning curve. Not as intuitive and missing some features that Lightroom would offer, but much faster. And free. I had a bit of a hard time getting used to the controls. In edit mode, you can't use keyboard arrows to navigate. But you can if you have full-sized images in the "lightable" section. Overall the program has a professional feel and could easily fit into a high volume workflow.
