software to help sort good photos from 1000+ shots

[sfshooter]

I think I have seen some software to do this - I want to view images (thumbnail size, ideally) and mark good ones that I want to separate out. I thought one of the batch editing software products could do this. Even if all I did was mark an image for a rename or move, this would help a great deal. Any suggestions on how to quickly process a large amount of images to down to a more managable number is appreciated.

Here are a few suggestions:

Free:

1) Exifer (http://www.friedemann-schmidt.com/software/exifer/) nifty and allows you generally organize you pictures. Unfortunately it does not support RAW.

2) http://www.irfanview.com/ it has a pretty quick and easy organizer built into it (also it supports some RAW formats).

$
1) Adobe Photoshop elements .. Includes the album program and supports RAW. Good is it allows really complex tagging of the files for multiple organization.

2) Breeze browser ... I know people that swear by it and it does have pretty good features.

----------------------------------------------------
I use Elements (it handles my 50,000 pictures + 200,000 clip art without problems).

But I need the tagging features to keep the stuff organized.

Take a look at Raw Shooter essentials it is free you can find it at http://www.pixmantec.com the main problem is it only works on RAW files I think and will not display JPG or Tiff
They also have a full version that has some additional features
I use the free version to sort through my sessions

you can weed out obvious bad shots from thumbnails, but you also need to view pictures at 100% to show if its clarity is good enough to print.
What looks good in a thumbnail can be out of focus from 50% to 100% views.
So be sure to look at your photos in a larger view as well

You could give iView MediaPro a (free) try. I have used this program for a good number of years and have been quite satisfied. It is very easy to use, quick and does a fine job of raw previews too.
