- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm looking for a software to organize all of my family photos on my PC. Currently, I just have them organized into folders, and each file is named with the date and names of people in each photo. This is not a very good way to organize my photos, especially in cases where there are many people in one photo, and the file name becomes too long.
I was looking around at some different software, but I can't find something with all of the features that I am looking for. I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction, to something with all of these features:
I would like to be able to add tag information to each photo. For instance, each person in the photo can be tagged, and searched for later. It would also be a plus if you could scroll over the person in the photo and have it display their name, similar to Facebook. I had found one free software that would allow you to tag individuals, and check off a box with their names and it would bring up just the photos with these people in them. Also, to be able to add other information such as the date the photo was taken, and captions or notes would be perfect.
I would need a program that would embed this data into each file, so if I were to copy these photos from my PC to another member of my family using the same program, all of this tag information would remain. I had found a free software with similar features, but it did not embed the data, so the photos would be useless on other PCs.
It would also be a huge plus if a software like this included some basic editing tools such as brightness, contrast, red-eye editing as well as a cropping tool. I'm not looking to do anything too fancy with editing, but having simple editing tools within the same program would be very convenient.
If anyone knows of a software, free or otherwise, that has all or most of these features, please let me know. Thank you for your time.
