FotoTagger - Easily Tag / Annotate photos - 0 views

fototagger tagging faux freeware annotate

shared by LeisHowI on 11 Jul 10 - Cached
  • FotoTagger is a free utility that lets you tag photos with small descriptive notes on any part of an image
  • does not ‘spoil’ the image because the notes can be easily removed and also hidden with a click of a button.
  • photos also can be shared across the web along with the comments or annotations.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • with FotoTagger we can pinpoint any element on the photo and place a comment on it.
  • Photos (JPEGs) can be given a caption that’s like a label for the whole photo or a tag which can be pointed towards any element in the photo (also called a callout).
  • An image can be given only one caption but it can have multiple tags
  • Fonts and colors can be customized for tags and captions
  • They can be shown as rectangles or as balloons.
  • Tags and captions do not significantly add to the size of the image as they are stored within the image file in text format.
  • also can be revealed and hidden with a single click within FotoTagger (thus, displaying the image with and without tags).

      Viewing enabled only if within a particular program?
  • also lets us publish annotated pictures to our blogs (Blogger and LiveJournal). If the image size is too large for blogs, an alert pops up requesting permission to resize the image.
  • Comment tab is for entering a more descriptive note on the particular image or the whole album.
  • Single images or a bunch with all its annotations can be exported (and imported back) to and from Flickr
  • While exporting, you can also perform a resize operation
  • technically inclined can use the image information tabs in the bottom panel to view specific data like EXIF, IPTC, image properties, histogram and of course the tags for the image
  • Exporting to HTML as whole folders or as individual files is also a two step process.
  • get are HTML pages that include the annotated image with tags which can be hidden with a click of a button. These are viewable in any browser and do not require FotoTagger for displaying the tags.
  • Creating animated slideshows and presentations
  • fourth way is to send annotated images by email. Send it with tags merged into the image automatically through FotoTagger which launches your default email application.
  • But cosmetics aside, FotoTagger does the basic job of captioning and tagging quite well.
  • plug-in which allows us to capture an image straight from either IE or Firefox into FotoTagger is not updated for the latest version of the Firefox browser.

    I don't know if it counts as 'real' tagging, and it doesn't say if other programs or services read that data. Interesting I suppose, if you like annotating things.

Photology - Photo Search Software - Alternative to tagging? - 0 views

Photology features review image viewing search desktop freeware software

shared by LeisHowI on 11 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Photology is an image management software which allows the user to sift through large number of photos or images without the need to set up tags or organize collections.
  • The program’s slogan says – No tags, No folders. It just knows
  • special content filters.
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • mimics our own behavior in the way we tend to remember a snapshot. Not by filenames but by the other vague details
  • seven filters
  • Time of day:
  • Date:
  • show in order (view with others taken around the same time),
  • Location: Was it an outdoor shot or an indoor one?
  • Content: Was it about people, plants, the ocean or the sky?
  • Text:
  • Color: Narrow down the choices by searching for a particular color using the color wheel.
  • Photology lets us select the folders to monitor for photos
  • Features: Was it black/white, under-exposed, over-exposed, in focus, out of focus or in monotones?
  • Hovering our mouse over the thumbnail gives us four more options to use for an image
  • rotate
  • add to group (select and add to a group for sorting)
  • delete.
  • can enter a caption
  • added options include:
  • Group – These are collections of similarly themed pictures we can create for ourselves. Put a single photo in as many groups as you want without making multiple copies.
  • Share – Easily share photos via an email link, Flickr, Picasa or SmugMug. We can also collect selected photos into a desktop folder for sharing through the ‘file’ share option.
  • logical filters like ‘Features’, ‘Color’, ‘Date’ and ‘Text’ returned fairly accurate results with a few errors.
  • abstract counterparts like ‘Location’ and ‘Content’ returned a wider variety of inaccurate results
  • Though, I wish they would add some multiple image handling capabilities especially related to naming and tagging so I can compensate for some of my previous laziness.
  • Photology does support the use of keywords
  • can find photos based on captions, group names and folder names by using the text search:

      From 2nd picture below, we see that the free version allows a maximum of only 3 tags per photo.
  • Tag does not automatically save photos, you must manually do this by clicking the save icon
  • Before you can perform a search, you need to build an index.

  • It will take a few minutes for the index to build, but you need only perform this once. As you edit your photos, the index will be automatically updated when the photos are saved.
  • Add negative/anti words Search by a rating Search geocoded photos via an address
  • A third search method is to click words in the tag cloud
  • If you modify a file outside of iTag - in Adobe Photoshop for example - then iTag won't recognise the new metadata until you rebuild the index
  • tag manager helps allow you to control your vocabulary and to import and export tag lists
  • How to replace a misspelled tag

    Great that it stores as metadata, and other applications can read it. Bad Free version allows a maximum of ONLY 3 tags per photo. (see section on 'How to register iTag'. it is not written but displayed in the picture. Making it somewhat un-searchable.) => -10 Index build upon first use. If tags changed through other programs though, it needs to be re-indexed. Highlights Pink - gd Green - bad Blue - how it works etc Yellow - general

      I don't quite get what it means, will have to test out. I suppose it means you can create fake tags, where they are simply placeholders for actual tags. I'm assuming you can do it with multiple tags as well?
  • Let’s imagine you have a screenful of untagged and tagged images. First, press Alt + T to sort images by tags. With the mouse, click on the left edge of the screen to open the file list. You should see a group of files in the beginning of the list marked as having no tags. Right click on the list to select a whole group of images, and press Ctrl + C to copy the files on the clipboard. Press Ctrl + N to open a new view and paste the images with Ctrl + V. Now you have a nice, clean workspace with no unwanted files.

  • (“Synchronize IPTC tags” needs to be checked on the “Database” page). That feature definitely exists but it’s not enabled by default.
  • not entirely sure if enabling the syncing will automatically write the tags that you have added earlier but either adding (or removing) any tag will trigger the IPTC update for the file. Or, you can use dbtool to sync manually (something like “dbtool exportiptc c:\Photos”).
  • a small tool that recursively parse the whole image repository to automatically assign tags would be nice.
  • The new dbtool does this automatically. You can simply add a file in a directory and the tags in the file are applied to all the subdirectories. It can also tag files based on the tags it sees in the directory names, so if you have the tags “2009″ and “holiday” in the system and a directory named “holiday 2009″, dbtool will apply both tags to the images in the directory.
  • Would it be possible integrate this new dbtool inside the “MSWindows explorer”?
  • It is possible to add any program in the menu, as long as the program takes command line arguments.
