DIGIKAM VS DARKTABLE SOFTWARE

Libre Software (aka Free and Open Source) has done some pretty amazing things. The only time I use Photoshop now is when I need to do something complex like a collage or other bit of art that involves mashing together more than one photo.īecause photography is so important to me (the most important thing outside of family and religion), I foresee myself always using Lightroom in the near future. It is my go-to program for nearly 100% of what I do with photos. Lightroom is an amazing piece of software engineering. On my Windows computer I do this with Lightroom, Adobe’s photo management software. I tag my photos with as many relevant tags as possible so I can easily find photos of my brother, for example, in the future.

That said, after having been involved in the semantic world via flickr, I’ve found tagging to be invaluable. It would be somewhere like 2010->Jan 10->So and So’s Wedding. 2) it’s very easy for me to very quickly find a photo. However, I’ve found that my system has two main benefits 1)my photos remain organized even if my descendants don’t have access to programs that can read the metadata on the photos. Eventually, software like Picassa, Lightroom, and digiKam came out which would have allowed me to continue to to organized my photos by event because they could read the metadata and reorganize them by date. Once I realized that’d quickly get unwieldy, I decided to put them in folders by date. Because I’m an organized person, I started off putting my photos into event-based folders. Ever since I got my first digital camera in my second semester of college, the number of photos I’ve taken yearly has increased nearly exponentially. I have about ten photo albums, with most of them coming from when I got to high school and could really afford film and developing. That’s when I got my first Kodak Instamatic camera and started shooting photos and creating photo albums.

As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, I’ve been into photography since I was five years old.
