I took some photos at an event and I need to go through them and get rid of the bad ones (eyes closed, things in the shot, out of focus, blurred etc.) I’m not a pro photographer so no idea where to begin with photo apps. I’ve used RawTherapee and Gimp a bit.
What app will let me quickly browse the photos and handle (delete/tag) photo formats together (both the RAW and the JPG)?
Darktable is what you want. You can also use digikam
I haven’t used it in a while. Rawtherapee’s editor is awesome but I don’t remember an image overview. Thx for the reminder!
It has a File Browser tab on the left that lets you view thumbnails of all the images in a folder. From there you can select multiple images to do batch operations on, or pick a single image to open in the editor. Not sure if that’s what you mean.
Another suggestion for Darktable. It handles this case of mixed types transparently. It’s a big thing to learn, but extremely powerful and capable, and you don’t have to know all the corners of it, just enough for your workflow.
Darktable can do that, but be sure to watch a tutorial or two on youtub (because the most efficient ways to do such a job are not obvious at all):
- Basic operation & use of the GUI,
- importing,
- use of the stars.
Have a look at XNview MP
I can definitely say that it is avery good photo management program.
I am only using about 20% of it’s features and it is my go to image software.
I recently switched away from Lightroom and now use a combination of Digikam as a DAM and Darktable for editing. I also shoot RAW+JPG and you can group these photos reasonably well in Digikam
