Organizing photos without touching files
Problem
I edit my photos in Lightroom but have always refused to use it for organizing. It's slow, the interface is cluttered, and there are too many photos to sift through, with all the RAW files that didn't make the cut still in there. And because RAW files take up so much space, I only had access to a year or two of photos at a time.
Concept
With Kura, you add as many folders or drives as you like and browse them as one library. Organize it with collections, tags, people and locations to find anything fast. Most photo managers want to own your library or make you move files around. Kura does neither. It watches your photo folders, so new Lightroom exports show up on their own and deleted photos disappear. Everything stays local.
