KPhotoAlbum Image Viewer And Organizer Released 5.7.0

KPhotoAlbum is an open-source image viewer and organizer for Linux systems. The new 5.7.0 version it’s mostly a maintenance release.

Suppose you have hundreds or even thousands of images on your hard drive. In that case, it becomes impossible to remember the story behind every image or the names of the persons photographed.

KPhotoAlbum was created to help you describe your photos and search for the big pictures quickly and efficiently.

With KPhotoAlbum, it is possible to find any image in less than 5 seconds based on a powerful tag system, whether with a particular person, an image from a special place, or even both.

  • Custom color schemes: Above all, the team behind KPhotoAlbum added support for custom color schemes. KPhotoAlbum 5.7.0 now also has a “Dark Mode”
  • Image search: Now offer experimental options for image search tuning.
