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.
