Thread: Need advice with photo tagging - share your experiences!
i realized need start tagging photographs. have thousands of pictures, stored in "year-month-day event-and-people-in-pictures" directories (i.e. 2009 01 cambodia phil, deborah).
not bad, i'd achieve better organization photo tagging, can find "sunset" pictures simple search.
want tags embedded in picture - no external, custom-format database.
now, questions:
1) linux software use tag photographs? i've read (and tried) exif-tool, honest in particular situation gui preferred. or maybe can talk me using exif-tool?
2) use exif, iptc or xmp tags? read, better use iptc or xmp because newer , more flexible formats. correct?
3) once tagging done, program use search photos tag?
since going big task, i'd sure i'm not doing wrong beginning - light on subject appreciated.
thanks!
i love have repplies on this, start tagging photos well.
in case, use year/month/day folder structure, , planning on using tags quick search.
using f-spot, gave me headaches changing "date taken" information (a known bug far research), end writing own import script.
so... wants share tagging experiences?
cheers!
