May 17th, 2020: We are thrilled to announce the new major release of Phototheca – Phototheca 2020 Productivity Pack!

In this release, the team put all efforts to improve the performance and usability of the software for the daily routines of organizing, managing, and enjoying photo collections and digital memories.
