Lightroom 3 is ideal for photo management and great for mass editing. You can mass sync user defined presets to hundreds of photos at a time. It's got excellent photo editing, and if you need to do more precise editing (multiple layers, masking etc) you can directly upload the image from Lightroom into Photoshop for editing. Once you save in Photoshop, the change will be directly reflected in Lightroom.
