I have recently discovered a free alternative to Adobe Lightroom or Apple’s Aperture, Zoner Free.
I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest headaches created by taking hundreds of photos over a weekend is sorting out the good from the bad during the following week! Zoner Free; from Zoner; provides all the organisational functionality that Adobe and Apple’s offerings provide at no charge.
Zoner Free allows one to automatically perform the usual photo touch-ups such as red eye and colour balance correction, as well as containing more advanced features such as GPS tagging of photos taken with non-GPS enabled cameras and producing 3D images.
When you are happy with your photos you can either leave it at that as I normally do! Or create a web gallery, upload to Flickr or Facebook.
If you’re needs are fairly simple, Zoner Free is a very affordable (free!) way into professional style bulk photo management. For those with more complex needs, Zoner Free may better serve as a testing package prior to ordering one of Zoner’s more feature rich non-free products, such as the home and professional editions; which still represent excellent value and more complete functionality when compared against the Lightroom and Aperture.
