    Great photo and tag management tools. It's also apparently the only program, from the ones listed, that has facial recognition features (although not great in comparison to Picasa's).

    Well, the UI of digiKam is a torture. Using it after Picase is like going from UI back to command line. It's packed with features, yes, but UI overcomplicated far beyond what is necessary. Tabs on top, tabs on the left, tabs on the right, and yes, each window section can also have tabs...

    Digikam is a much more advanced editor and manager, not neaarly as simple as Picasa.

    Apple Photos backs up your photos automatically and allows you to keep the original, unedited photo.

    It doesn't have the same organizing and album things and it constantly uses up the system and is not user friendly

    Cannot upload to google photos. I can share photos to flickr but selecting more than 99 photos will disable that option too. Cunning product design that they don't support integration with google product.
