F-Spot: An Able-Bodied All-in-One Image Machine
Few, if any, photo viewing apps on any platform provide a perfect photo management experience. However, F-Spot Photo Management for Gnome gives Linux users a fairly complete set of photo tools.
F-Spot ranks among the most well-known photo apps for Linux. In many ways it is similar to Google's repackaged Picasa Photo Organizer and the popular GIMP photo program. F-Spot's primary drawback, despite its usefulness, is its sometimes quirky operation.
Provided your flavor of Linux supports the Gnome desktop, F-Spot can be a solid choice to manage your photo collection over the two leading contenders. Picasa requires the open source Windows application programming interface (API) Wine to run. This makes it a wanna-be Linux app. GIMP is more challenging to use because it has three disconnected windows to operate.
