digiKam is a program designed specifically for those who want to systematize and organize their photos. It lets you import photos to your computer from a variety of portable devices, combine them into collections, assign tags, and even change them in the built-in editor. The built-in editor's functionality is limited to familiar functions such as trimming, changing color parameters, deleting the most common graphic artifacts, and so on. The digiKam also has a built-in image viewer from which you can switch to slideshow mode, zoom in and out, and rotate the image.
The developers of this photo manager tried to make it as simple as possible in terms of navigation. It is for this purpose that a convenient tree-like list of directories has been added to the program, which is displayed on the right side of the graphical shell. It allows you to quickly switch to the right folders and albums. There are also several preview modes available in digiKam and full screen support.
digiKam allows users to efficiently organize, edit, and share their photos across various platforms for free.
By linking Flickr, Picasa, Facebook or SmugMug accounts to the program, you can easily "share" files between these services and your computer. DigiKam also has the function of displaying detailed technical information about each image. And of course we can't tell you about one of the most important advantages of this manager. It's free. Moreover, digiKam does not contain advertising and does not offer to purchase "extended" versions.
