![]() I also like the folder tree on the left side of the window, which is an essential feature that is unfortunately missing from many other image viewers. I particularly like the ability to connect multiple iPhoto libraries, which means that I can use Lyn instead of iPhoto as much as possible. Lyn is a fast, clean image viewer with some nice features. Featuring an extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing interface, Lyn delivers an easy to use geotagging technology, image editing and a complete solution for sharing your photographs.

Smith Fellow of the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of the institute's City Journal. ![]() So far, those are my test results.Heather Lynn Mac Donald (born November 23, 1956) is an American conservative political commentator, essayist and attorney. Can not handle geotags at all, however, and lacks a proper EXIF/ITPC editor. Represents the folder-based structure on disk perfectly in its DAM component. ![]() Doesn't really seem like photo management, but rather more like digital asset management. Seems to be developed only very slowly, which does not make me feel good about its longevity. Fails on point 3, and the support told me that syncing between machines should only be done through manual import/export of sessions. 4 above - sidecar approaches are impractical for me, and " darktable will never ever open source files for writing". Managed libraries don't properly follow changes done in Finder. Syncing catalogues between machines using rsync is not trivial. It's also badly integrated in the OSX desktop. It's just heavily using the KDE ecosystem, which makes building the port on a Mac hard. ![]() Perhaps someone here can point out what I missed. user-definable integration of external editing toolsĪpart from KDE's really great DigiKam, which suffers from a not-yet-perfect Mac port, I did not find any software fulfilling those rather simple requirements.Metadata and changes to the image catalogs must be easily syncable using classic, non-cloud tools like rsync, unison, Bittorrent Sync or SyncThing.The manager must be able to write geotags, textual tags and timestamp corrections directly into the images (in order to make the metadata available to 3rd party apps - sidecar files like those used by Darktable are useless there).This folder structure must follow changes made within the software, and any changes made in Finder must be tracked and represented in the photo manager.Pictures must be stored in a folder structure on disk, not a monolithic catalogue.Native Mac program (or at least very well ported interface from a different OS).I don't strictly require built-in editing and raw conversion functions. Working with those documentary pictures will require extensive tagging and search functions. The management software will be used on normal everyday pictures (holidays, landscapes and so on) as well as a large collection of documentary pictures with little artistic value from renovating protected old buildings. But for quite a while now, I have struggled to find Mac software suitable for my requirements. You'd think that there is more than enough photo management software out there. ![]()
