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.

In darktable and digikam you can view images like in a folder with huge previews. You can select them, rate them and work on them.

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.

[-] Archaeopteryx@kbin.run 1 points 1 week ago

I second this. XnView MP is one of the best free programs out there.

Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it's called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.

I've never had the chance to work with the RAW format, but I think Photoprism should handle it transparently. Depending on your area of knowledge, the setup might feel a bit convoluted though.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I think OP is looking for a desktop application, not a selfhosted cloud platform.

[-] bruce965@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

That's very likely the case, but I'd say it makes little difference: any self-hosted application supporting web technology is also a desktop application.

Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It's a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they've been sorted and edited.

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

[-] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Geeqie is a quick one to go trough photos and it groups RAW+JPG as a single item on preview, so even a few hundred photos are quickly ran trough with just a keyboard. I'm not sure on how well it manages tags as I don't use it for tagging, but it's most likely in your distros repository so testing it out is quick.

nomacs could be an option and is multi platform

[-] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

Capture One has a free 30 day trial IIRC. It's great for doing this kind of thing, if you put caps lock on you can hit keys 1-5 to rate and it will auto advance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
