    Better than Apple Photos, but nowhere as slick.

    Date: Feb 10 2024

    Summary: I use both digiKam and Apple Photos. Both have great dedupe and import/export features. Both use sidecars well and play nicely together. I prefer Photos for daily work, but always use digiKam for storage and many bulk operations. Apple supports many paid/proprietary services while digiKam supports even more free services.

    If I could use only one, digiKam wins for it's non-propriety nature and ease of storage. It supports far more use cases. But I'd miss Apple Photos.

    Apple Photos:
    I LOVE Apple Photos; it's lightning fast, easy to use, beautiful and - more importantly - it preserves your originals intact. But Photos gets bigger than my drive, fast. Backing it up is tough once it grows, iCloud is not good enough. There is no way to share and it only works on Mac.

    digiKam:
    digiKam lets your database to reside on your Mac, Linux or -say you don't use Microsoft!! - Windows machine, but you MAY choose to keep the photos elsewhere - like a nas. This is much more sane for a large, or professional collection. And of course, it has many more features.

    Positive: Far deeper control than I've found anywhere else. Is reliable; even if it crashes, your photos are safe.

    Negative: No support and it does have rough edges. i.e. Much slower at everything. Crashes occasionally (but data is never lost).

    Positive: Really good Photo Management that is easy yo use. The face recognition system is particularly useful.

    Negative: Image editor is stand alone outside the main managment system.
