Alternatives to Photohoard¶
Of course, there are several alternatives to Photohoard. Just to mention a few that work with Linux:
Shotwell
is a default application for organizing photos in Ubuntu and GNOME. At last check, its editing tools were limited.
Digikam
has excellent organization facilities. It also has strong editing capabilities, but they are not nondestructive in the usual sense: Edited versions must be saved to a new file.
Darktable
has the best editing capabilities, far more advanced than Photohoard. It is less suitable for maintaining large collections, because its thumbnailing system does not cache arbitrarily large numbers of files.
RawTherapee
is even more focused on developing images than Darktable, and less focused on organizing collections. Really great for getting the most out of your camera’s raw files.
Google Photos
offers organization and many of the same editing tools as Photohoard, but keeps your photos in the corporate cloud. end{itemize}
