Hi Folks,
I've got an ever growing archive of digitized photographs that is
getting somewhat out of control, so I'm looking for a good software
package to manage them. I'd like to think I've not got too many
difficult requirements....
First of all, it would have to be a local desktop based tool - since
I keep high resolution scans (60 MB each) as the master image, managing
via the web is not really (bandwidth/speed) practical.
Second, rich support for associating arbitrary metadata with images,
or groups of images (eg, location, description, lens type, film type,
exposure, etc, etc).
Full categorization - ie, not restricted to oragnizing / navigating
based on folder hierarchy.
Printing of thumnail views of folders / categories
Easy export of folders / categories to CD/DVD or remote web photo
publishing tools.
Support for generating arbitrarily resized images - not just thumbnails,
but low res images for web upload, medium res for desktop background
images, etc, etc
Does anyone have any recommendations for tools fullfilling these
needs on Linux ?
Oh, and a few features I don't want / particularly care about
- Image manipulation - already have GIMP for this
- Scanning - already have VueScan
- Web publishing - already have Gallery
Regards,
Dan.
