• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago

• Client photo delivery websites that allow updating images before digital delivery

  If you want something more specific for client proofing, Picflow is AWESOME for this. It allows clients to draw and comment on photos to more specifically show you want they want fixed. IMO this probably better for commercial clients - I wouldn't want to make my wedding clients do all that extra work. Source: 11 months ago

• Free Client Proofing Sites

  I've been trying out the free plan from https://picflow.com/ for the last little while and it seems to be working well. Only complaint so far is it can be a little slow to load at times. Source: almost 2 years ago
