Are you looking for an image manager that allows you to view them whenever you want and organize them within your PC? Shotwell is one of the best applications that you should consider to do whatever you wish with your photographs. It is a tool that will allow you to view, sort, and even modify all kinds of information regarding your images so that you don't waste time when you want to find them.

Shotwell's operation is effortless since, in the first instance, you have to import all the images you want, some of them or your entire Gallery, and then you can start organizing them the way you need. You will be able to sort and visualize all the pictures in just a few milliseconds, and you will never be left without rescuing any of them.

When we import the images to Shotwell, we can assign them certain tags so that later if we search for them from the same tags, we will obtain as results each one of those photos. In the thumbnail views screen, you will have the possibility of visualizing the basic information of each one of the images, such as the name of the image, the size, etc.

But besides that, thanks to this application's image viewer, we can also modify specific parameters of the different images to make it easier to find them. To give you an idea, you can adjust the contrast, brightness, or saturation and even rotate or crop them. However, it is a simple editing system. In many cases, it will save you from downloading another application.

As you can see, Shotwell becomes an excellent alternative to the Picture Viewer from Windows lifetime , considering that it adds many functions that are not available in this one without any significant drawbacks. We are talking about a completely free service and one that does not consume too many PC resources, so we will not notice slowing down the computer or anything like that.

A feature we liked about this program is the Slideshow, thanks to which we can create a slideshow in seconds from some of the images we uploaded to the platform. If we want to surprise a loved one, this simple utility will allow us to generate engaging content without requiring previous knowledge.

In the same way, it seems essential to us that Shotwell can display all the images we have imported in Fullscreen or Fullscreen since, in this way, you can see details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Especially if several people want to view the pictures simultaneously and some remain far away from the monitor, this function will greatly help you.

Another advantage that cannot be forgotten when we think about this platform is that it allows us to import the photographs stored in our digital camera without transferring them to the computer's disk. This means that those who take dozens or hundreds of images with their cameras can upload them directly to this service without having to repeat the procedure, avoiding unnecessary loss of time.

Shotwell's user interface, meanwhile, was very much to our liking. It is simple, and any novice user can use the program without too many complications. It also has very well-differentiated menus and a section for viewing images. If it were up to us, all photo management applications should have a design similar to this one, as it fulfills both functionality and aesthetics.

If we had to highlight the main strong points of Shotwell, we would undoubtedly have to talk about the fact that it allows us to import photographs both from the PC disk and any of the cameras connected to it. On the other hand, it also has an automatic slideshow mode that works well, and we also wanted to highlight its built-in editing options.

Of course, if we are to be critical and stop at the aspects of Shotwell that perhaps have not convinced us, some of us could say that its editing is incomplete, as it lacks some tools that other similar applications do offer. Here it is a question of seeing the glass as half full or empty. If you have essential requirements for editing your images, you will need another application.

In conclusion, Shotwell is an excellent application for those users who are especially interested in organizing their images by using tags and modifying the basic parameters that distinguish them. Of course, if you also need a tool to solve your editing problems, you may find it a little short.
