Shotwell is an open source and very efficient graphical photo organizer software designed especially for the GNOME desktop environment. It can be used to view, edit and organize a local collection of images.
Features at a glance
Most specifically, the application enables Linux users to edit, sort, import, and organize their image collections in a fast and secure manner. It is designed by the same team of talented developers that created the Geary email client.
With Shotwell, you will be able to import photos from any digital camera supported by gPhoto, rotate, mirror and crop photos, as well as to export images as they are, or by specifying dimensions and JPEG quality to reduce their size.
In addition, the software will automatically group photos that are taken at the same time and organize them into events. You can also publish image and video files to popular social networks, such as Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, Piwigo, and Picasa.
