Zoph 0.5 Readme
21 Jan 2006
1. Introduction
Zoph (Zoph Organizes PHotos) is a web based photo management system
written using PHP and backed by MySQL. Photos are loaded to the db
using a perl script or a web interface.
After I bought a digital camera I wanted some way to easily organize
a growing number of photos. I've worked on Zoph off and on over the
last couple of years and have used it to store and cross reference
a few thousand of my photos.
2. Features (or YAWPA? - Yet Another Web Photo Album?)
Yes, there are tons of photo album projects it seems. What makes Zoph
different? Well, here are some of it's features:
- Photos can have lots of meta data. Each photo record can store:
- EXIF info (date, time, width, height, size,
camera make, camera model, flash used, focal length,
exposure, aperture, etc)
- title
- photographer
- location
- description
- rating
- people in the photo
- Each photo can appear in zero or more albums.
- Each photo can appear in zero or more categories.
- Albums, categories and locations are hierarchical.
- Searches can be performed using all this data:
"Show me all photos taken by 'Joe Smith' between 2001-01-01 and
2001-12-31 at 'Joe and Nancy's House' in which 'Nancy Smith'
appears and whose rating is greater than 5".
- Access privileges:
- each user has an account and is granted permissions on albums
- each user can specify preferences, including a color scheme
- an automatically logged in guest user can be defined.
- Watermarks:
A (visual) watermark can be added to the high quality photos to
prevent unauthorized use.
- Slideshows.
- Lightboxes.
- "Email this photo" feature.
- Basic reporting: most photographed people, places, etc.
- Photos, albums, categories, people, places and users can be
easily administered using the web interface.
- Import photos from the web or by using a Perl script.
- Export photos to generate static galleries with album or BINS.
- Internationalized.
