+ Shotwell Photo Manager
+ ----------------------
+
+ * Introduction
+
+ Shotwell is a digital photo manager designed for the GNOME desktop
+ environment. It allows you to import photos from disk or camera,
+ organize them in various ways, view them in full-window or fullscreen
+ mode, and export them to share with others.
+
+ Visit http://www.yorba.org/shotwell to read about the current state of
+ Shotwell's development and to make sure you're running the latest version.
+
+
+ * Installation & Licensing
+
+ Please consult the INSTALL and COPYING files for more information.
+
+
+ * Quick Start
+
+ There are three ways to import photos: via drag-and-drop, from a digital
+ camera, and from the File menu.
+
+ * Drag-and-drop: Simply drag photos from your file manager and drop them
+ onto the Shotwell window. You may drag files or directories. The photos
+ will be imported into the library.
+
+ * Camera: Connect your digital camera to your computer. Shotwell will
+ detect it and list it in the sidebar. When you select the camera, Shotwell
+ will load previews of each photo. You may choose specific photos to
+ import or to import them all.
+
+ Shotwell uses gPhoto to communicate with digital cameras. If your camera
+ does not appear in Shotwell's sidebar or there is a problem importing
+ photos, visit http://www.gphoto.org to see if it is supported.
+
+ * File menu: Select File -> Import From Folder ... and select a directory
+ from the chooser dialog box. Shotwell will scan the directory and all
+ sub-directories for photo files and automatically import them.
+
+ Once your photos are in Shotwell's library, you can view, edit, and export
+ them. More features are planned, so check http://www.yorba.org/shotwell
+ regularly for updates.
