Many people love to collect their own digital photos and also organize them in a useful manner. While this is an interesting task, it is not that easy to define various folders, put the right photos in each of them, and store the whole collection on your computer in a way that allows you to find one of those photos easily.
Once you have added your photos, they can be grouped and categorized according to some of the data already embedded in them (EXIF) or any external information, such as the time/date, the photographer's name, certain events, the camera used, and so on. You can even store technical details and add notes to the photos by editing their properties.
You can save your photo collection in a single or multiple databases, which can then be exported as well. All the images can be viewed as thumbnails, to make the organizing task easier and more efficient. Photo Collector includes a very good search tool that you can use to search and find your photos by caption, date, event stored, etc. This makes finding the right picture comparatively easier and faster than with other similar tools available on the market. All these features make Photo Collector to score over others.
