digiKam is a free and open-source tool for organization and image editor written in C ++ with the KDE Applications. The application can integrate and work closely with any other product, such as the Adobe system.
Shotwell is a graphical image manager designed to offer personal photo control for the GNOME desktop environment. With a simple click of the mouse, the user can create, edit and save any kind of photograph or image and import in batch.
digiKam is a powerful and highly customizable image editor and label creator written in C ++. Among the advanced tools you will find: powerful workflow options for editing multiple photos with many tags at once; multiple selection auto positioning and removal of images; built-in image finder and image restore function; fast import and export capabilities; multiple layer batch printing capabilities; and more.
Digikam Features:
digiKam features an interface based on QML that is not dependent on any particular D-Lux fork. digiKam allows users to import and edit files from multiple sources. It allows for easy creation of any kind of image including JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, or BMP. It also includes a powerful photo management interface that makes it easy to create, edit and share your digital photographs. You can also manage your folders and files with the built-in browser.
One of the key features of digiKam that differs it from other image editors is the ability to specify metadata. This means that you will have a better understanding of the specific image or photo so that you can assign tags with great ease. The digiKam metadata tool allows you to browse through your photos by tags like location, day, date, price, and more. With the help of this easy to understand tool, you will be able to create comprehensive reports on your photos or your entire digital image collection.
The unique thing about Shotwell is the way it organizes your files and folders. Unlike most desktop management tools you won't find Shotwell's features organized by application name or category. Shotwell organizes your files and folders by their names and where they are located on your desktop, you can see exactly which application is open using the desktop view.
Features of Shotwell include the following: Аrame-by-frame access to your albums, easy and automatic import of photos from your digital camera or gallery, organized selection and extraction of images, automatic tagging and sorting of photos, full support of most popular image formats such as JPEG and PNG, support of most advanced image editing features such as resize, deskew, crop, change contrast, brightness and color or apply filters, Light/ Dark effect conversion and other image processing options such as hue, saturation and red eye elimination.
