Photos scattered across folders, OneDrive and Dropbox? Ashampoo Photos gathers them into one searchable library while leaving the folders as they are. The program also supports image editing, along with photo organization through tags, ratings, and automatically created albums.
How does Photos group pictures from different folders?
Add photos from local folders and supported cloud services, including OneDrive and Dropbox. Ashampoo Photos keeps the original folder structure intact and presents the files together in a visual library, so there is no need to rearrange the files into a new directory system.
Smart albums are generated and updated using information such as ratings, tags, and locations. These groupings can bring related pictures together without moving their originals. Changes made to files with other tools also appear in the library.
How can you find a particular photo?
Use the search and filtering tools to narrow a collection by rating, tags, location, or time. Add or change metadata and ratings to make pictures easier to sort and retrieve later.
- Search by photo details such as date or location.
- Create groupings around tags and ratings.
- Edit photo metadata, optionally in separate XMP files.
Which photo formats and cloud services are supported?
Ashampoo Photos supports JPEG and PNG images, as well as RAW files in CR2 and RAF formats. OneDrive and Dropbox are supported as photo sources, but RAW files do not have cloud support. Optional XMP sidecar files store metadata changes separately from the original image data.
