f-spot Photo Gallery
I used f-spot for Linux to organize my Tibet photos and put together my photo gallery. f-spot uses tags to help you organize your pictures. That’s a great idea - totally pragmatic and flexible. It also produces gorgeous online galleries.
The software is alpha, and thus a little buggy. It doesn’t have the ability to edit EXIF data yet. The timestamps on the photos from me and my friends were all over the map, so I had to correct them with an outside program. However, f-spot didn’t recognize the new timestamps unless I removed and readded the pictures. Of course that meant readding my tags.
The other problem I had was that it wouldn’t generate my photo album. That’s a problem that mysteriously disappeared. Good thing too, the photo album that it did produce looks great.
