Welcome back! Today I will be using TROPY to manage the photographs that I have collected from my Omeka site. To start this I needed to download TROPY onto my device and open up the program. Once I had downloaded it I named my project Hist 5891 and could begin importing my photos.
I was then able to add all ten of my photos that I used on my Omeka site by using the “+” on the top of the screen. After all of my photos had been uploaded then I was able to begin filling out the metadata for the images. This is available on the right side after selecting a specific photo.
Next, I filled out all of the metadata and then added tags.
I then continued this process for all ten of my items.
Finally, I wanted to group my photographs. To do this I enlarged my photos using the sliding tool at the top of the screen to make the images easier to see and grouped some of the photos. I made three groups for the three artists that had multiple works featured on my page. These artists are Dwayne Lowder, Julian Stanczak, and Kunisada Utagawa. The four other images that weren’t grouped I left alone.
Overall, TROPY is a very useful and easy to use resource to help in managing images and media. The features on TROPY are easy to use and make organizing images simple.
