But there is one software that has recently grabbed my attention, it is a free opensource photo organizing tool called My Photo Index.

You can import the pictures from your hard drive or a digital camera and organize them according to their categories and tags. You can also rate the pictures, which can help in distinguishing between professional and amateur photos.

Organize And Manage Your Downloaded Videos
