Three Linux alternatives to iPhoto
As a new (full-time) Linux user I’m looking more for a replacement for the dearly departed iView MediaPro, which likely went all to hell after Microsoft bought it a few years back.
My requirements for a photo manager are fairly meagre — all I really need to do is:
* Organize photos into separate catalogs;
* Rotate them as needed and have the results saved;
* View a variety of file types, specifically PNG and Camera RAW.
Here then, are three contenders that I tested on my Linux Mint install:
Shotwell was up first — it seemed very responsive and full-featured, with two notable exceptions. First, it imports all photos into a single collection (you can separate them by date) and second, it doesn’t seem to have any built-in support for PNG graphics.
