It also tags video files which is great for me since video files are a part of my collection.Īt the end of 2015 I realized that the pictures I make with my iphone / samsung galaxy phone are not good enough for me anymore and bought a DSLR camera. It is way better for tagging plus I like it's simplicity for changing date/time as well as geolocation. Then I switched to Windows Live Photo Gallery. I have always been a fond of Picasa until 1.Google started killing it 2.I realized how limited Picasa is for tagging Both made by point'n'shoot cameras and cameraphones ![]() I maintain my family photo collection since 2008.Ģ008-2015 I have been dealing with JPEGs for pictures and MOV/MP4 for videos. I think I'll build myself a dedicated linux box from not so old hardware and install this pre-package OS. Obviously it won't run the best in this mode, but should suffice as a start. One can burn it to a DVD and run the OS live from the DVD player in order to evaluate the programs (you'll have to ensure that you can boot from the DVD media, which may have to be enabled in the BIOS). It comes with most photo editing application built right into the download. There is plenty of support and install info available. For others that are interested in an alternative to Windows based apps, here is a link: Since I am familiar with the Fedora distribution, I did a bit of snooping and found that there is a software spin called Fedora 22 Design Suite. I especially like the ability to do localized edits. Looking at various You-Tube videos on this package, it strikes me as very usable. You have certainly roused my interest in Darktable. I have tried numerous raw-editors such as RawTherapee, Lightzone, LR, & Camera Raw. (always very prompt whenever asked for updates, super guy). ![]() I never did get used to Darktable because I felt Digikam was so much more intuitive but lately I've started to appreciate DT a whole lot more.īTW, Darktable is in the standard PCLOS repo and I think it is Pinoc who tends to deal with package updates for it. Thanks for posting this and welcome to the ever growing number of happy Linux users. Does it have a clone tool? I guess I'll have to install it and give it a shot. I have been so happy with Digikam for such a long time that I haven't tried Darktable. But, back in the old days, I would simply use the Gimp's or Krita's clone tool for removing any remaining dust from the final image. But, since I switched to the K5, from my old istDs, I haven't had any dust issues, so I haven't needed to use a clone tool. The only thing it lacks, as far as I am concerned, is a clone tool. It is amazing to have such a tool available for free and for freedom. PCLinuxOS and Suse are my favorites.Īs for workflow, I do almost everything in Digikam. (I hate not being able to rename folders from a File Save/Open dialog box.) So, I have been gravitating to distros that do well in their KDE implementations. A long time ago I settled for KDE instead of other (gtk based) desktops.
