Well, they are not really "managing" photo archives in the article. They are merely sieving through 15000 photos to look for one winning shot. After all is said and done, the photos still remain unmanaged and scattered around the harddisk. By archive management, one would think of some software that allows you to sort, comment, and edit photos, and later allow fast retrieval.
