            Photini
=======

A free, easy to use, digital photograph metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP) editing application for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

"Metadata" is said to mean "data about data".
In the context of digital photographs this means information that isn't essential in order to display the image, but tells you something about it.
For example a title and description of the scene or the date & time and the GPS coordinates of the camera's position when the picture was taken.

   "[Photini] doesn't try to be an all-singing, all-dancing image management powerhouse - it just lets you add information to photos, quickly and easily."
   
   -- `Linux Format`_ magazine, January 2013

Why is it called Photini?
Read my `blog post`_ on how I chose a name.

*   Choice of map providers - instantly switch to compare details.
*   Drag and drop images on to map to set GPS location.
*   Or set GPS location using data exported by a tracker app.

*   Convert GPS coordinates to street address.
*   Suggestions for further development welcome.

Dependencies
------------

Photini requires at least the following:

*   Python3: http://python.org/
*   PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2, or PySide6: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/ or https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/
*   python-exiv2: https://pypi.org/project/exiv2/

For a full list of dependencies, please see the `installation documentation`_.

Documentation
-------------

.. warning::
   This program, like all software, may have bugs.
   Before using it be sure to back up all your photographs (you do this anyway, right?) as I can't guarantee you won't accidentally damage them.

Photini's documentation is at http://photini.readthedocs.io/.
It includes detailed installation instructions and a full user manual.

Getting help
------------

If you encounter any problems installing or running Photini, please email jim@jim-easterbrook.me.uk and I'll respond as soon as I can.
There is also an email list or forum for discussions about Photini at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/photini.
If you discover a bug and have a GitHub account then please file a bug report on the GitHub `"issues" page`_.

If you find a problem with a particular image file then it would be useful for me to have a copy of its metadata.
You can use the exiv2_ command line program to extract the raw metadata so you don't need to send me the entire image file.
For example, the command ``exiv2 ex problem_file.jpg`` can reduce a 3 MByte image file to a 20 kByte file called ``problem_file.exv``.
I promise not to publish or redistribute any file you send me.

Localisation
------------

Work has begun on providing Photini in multiple languages.
I rely on users to do the translation, as I am not fluent in any language other than English.
The project uses an online translation service called Weblate_.
If you'd like to help translate Photini, please join the `Photini team on Hosted Weblate`_.
For more details, see the `localisation documentation`_.
