[clug] Photo management?

[George at Clug]

    I am pleased that Chris asked this question.

I had not as yet looked for a photo manager application.  Both
Shotwell and Darktable seem to be quite good, thanks for your
suggestions.

 Darktable looks quite sophisticated. I would like to have a camera
that does Tethering.

Setting up a photographic workflow is unthinkable without an
application that can help you to import, process, and organize photos.
While there are several such applications available on Linux
(Rawstudio [1], Darktable [2], RawTherapee [3], etc.), digiKam
[4] makes a sensible choice for a number of reasons.

More inclined to go with Darktable; also looking at Aftershot Pro.

The focus of this release is going to be on non-destructive editing.
Note that both adjustment layers and layer effects/styles are the
terminology currently used in requests by users. We haven't yet
assessed, how exactly non-destructive editing is going to be
implemented.

I use darktable to tag, index and process photos. This mostly because
there is
only one of me and I work with Canon Raw format, and Darktable will
leave the
originals intact.

for multiple people what you need is some for of "digital asset
management"
type system. Not sure if there is an open source one. maybe suck the
photos into
a version control system and force some metadata?
