User-Feedback on a Feature-Rich Photo Organiser

As the proliferation of digital photography increases, the software used to manage our increasingly large collections of digital photos becomes ever more important. In this paper we present the findings of a study which investigates how people view and interact with a set of photo management features. Specifically, a group of users are set the task of managing their own photos using a system built to encompass a wide range of photo organization functionality. They are then quizzed about their experiences in terms of their feature preferences, the general usability of the system, and other suggestions/requirements. Given these opinions, a basic estimation is then formed on what they like/dislike about the various aspects of the system, towards obtaining a more learned understanding of how we may develop a photo organizer that is optimal in terms of user satisfaction.
