Safely Back up Images and Easily Organise Them.
Organise Images by Event, Location and Person
For the convenience of photo viewing, images are first categorised by event, which can have location information added to them, and person names/descriptions can be added to each photo. [ib] organises not only newly taken images, but also previously taken images stored on your PC, allowing you to easily find and enjoy the important photos you are looking for without losing them in the mix.
Organise by Event
[ib] organises images taken on the same date to a single event. Events can be broken up into smaller events or merged into oneevent even if they were shot on different days. Events can be named for convenience.
Organise by Location
You can add location information to an event by dragging and dropping it onto the map. Type any city or location name and [ib] will find it and enlarge it on the map. You can add location information not only to events, but also to individual images so that you can display with images the course you went through on your travels on the map.
Organise by Person
When [ib] imports images, a face recognition process is run on each image. Register faces of your family and friends so that [ib] can identify the people captured in images. You can create specific groupings of people such as family, friends, or any others.
Customise Categories Depending on Your Purposes or Lifestyle
You can categorise images by creating an optional group based on the purpose, theme, or subject of the images. Categorising images into groups does not change the places where image files are saved. You can display images based on a group they belong to whenever it is necessary. Images will never be lost in intricately nested groups.
Organise by Collection
Images can be categorised by creating a collection and adding images to it. This is suitable for categorising images captured for your hobby or of your favourite subjects. You can also add images to a collection by defining parameters based on who appears in images, when images were taken, or other information. Images that meet these parameters are automatically identified and added to the collection. Newly taken images are also automatically categorised into a collection if they meet its parameters.
Add Comments and Tags
You can add comments to events or individual images to record what you want to remember about the images.
You can also add tags to each image. Tags are useful to automatically categorise images to collections using parameters.

RAW Development Features with Advanced Usability
You can change the settings of RAW images captured by OLYMPUS digital cameras, allowing you to adjust the exposure compensation value, colour temperature, picture mode, contrast, sharpness, saturation, picture tone, or gradation, or to add a black and white or noise filter.
You can also add Art Filters to pictures captured by any OLYMPUS digital camera that supports them.
After adjusting a picture's settings or adding effects to it, you do not need to save it as a new file since the original picture can be restored and re-edited at any time.
* Adjustable settings differ depending on the camera that captures the RAW image. RAW development features may not be available for RAW images captured by certain cameras.
