Google Photos

Google Photos is the home for all of your photos and videos, searchable and organised by the people, places and things that matter.
- If Google Photos can be called a photo organization software than so can windows explorer (and a better one at that). It is a cloud storage service for photos and nothing more. Guest • Apr 2019 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Google Photos is only a storage for photos not an organizer. Guest • Aug 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- digiKam does a lot more than Google Photos. It is a real tool to organize piczures. Guest • May 2019 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees

I am running this on windows 7. It is the only free (and opensource) software I have found which can handle XMP metadata with png files. This is something even photoshop cannot currently handle correctly relying on fireworks and bridge. Essentially this means I can tag all my images in png format and maintain metadata with the files so that if for example I upload any to flickr the tags, description and title are all maintained. Fantastic!

I have also found the software very intuitive and got used to it much quicker than Picasa which I have dumped in favour for this.

Definitely a great app. Unfortunately it's KDE not GNOME which for anyone who pays attention to that may be an eyesore, or at least an irritant. Other than that, to me it far outweighs similar FLOSS apps like RAWTherapee and certainly Darktable.
