To be fair I think you're not talking about the same sort of photo
management that Scott is. Someone with a Canon EOS and a full set of
lenses is likely to be using the RAW modes on that camera. Doing so will
result in large images (30meg + each on a 7mp camera) that require
significant post-processing. This is a use case that applies to one of
my colleagues and he will regularly take 400-500 full RAW images in the
course of a weekend. You are not going to sit and wait for a 486 with
256Meg of RAM to chew through these so you will have a high spec
machine, in his case an EM64T P4 with 2gig and a big monitor. This is
close to the extreme end of the photo management use case admittedly but
it still won't be up there with someone who does it professionally.

So while you need to support Grandma sorting snapshots of the grand kids
 maybe some consideration needs to be made for the real power users.
Unless they are not important to the Ubuntu mission.

Just some thoughts as an interested user.

Mark.
