“Editing and Organizing. Lisa did a good roundup on five
applications focused on image editing and organizing photos here.
Among the applications she took note of, Shotwell is a very popular
photo organizer for the GNOME desktop environment. Meanwhile,
DigiKam is a rich application with slick editing tools, and you can
use it to organize photo libraries.

“Cooliris. Among photo junkies, Cooliris is almost universally
lauded. Kristin covered the Linux version here. It’s a browser
plug-in designed to enhance your photo and video browsing
experience. You can use it to panoramically soar through photo
collections, and it works great for navigating photo and video
collections found online.”
