It's actually piwigo, but thanks. I'll take a look.

I'm already using Google Photos, which I suppose counts as a gallery,
but it can get a bit slow when dealing with large batches so I
generally use it for sharing the final results. My idea was to find a
tool to process photos locally before uploading them. I'll check out
that Wikipedia page in any case.
I do most of my photo editing with Photoshop Elements/Organiser in
Windows, which potentially has the capability you are looking for
particularly via organiser, but I'm not sure of the graphic quality if
running it from a VM (when I tried in the past I wasn't able to get it
to install and work under wine). I haven't played around much with
similar photo editing tools under Linux, but I'm wondering if
'Rawtherapee' or 'DarkTable' have the functionality you are looking for?
If I remember correctly, both packages are in the Fedora repositories.
