To be a bit more precise than words like "some", "lots", and 
"specialist": Harris Interactive's 2005 Technology Report found that 65 
percent of US adults occasionally or frequently use their computer to 
edit digital photos -- exactly the same proportion as use their 
computer to listen to music.

So in that sense, including good photo management software is just as 
important as including good music management software.
