…”digital photography has all but eliminated this process. Film isn’t just cheap now, it’s virtually free, and reusable as well. An amateur photographer can snap thousands of photos a month without hesitation and share them worldwide with a click of a mouse button.
With large collections becoming the norm, the need to organize, edit, and share one’s photos has become a common task. That’s where Shotwell comes in.
Our intention from the beginning has been to write a photo manager stocked with the best features top-of-line commercial applications offered. We’ve looked hard at how other photo managers worked and weighed the benefits and costs of their features and design. Shotwell is the default photo manager in Redhat Fedora 13 and will be default in Ubuntu 10.10 shipping in October. Here’s where Shotwell stands today.”
