I ftp phone photos to the computer for manipulation/storage and then
upload them to googlephotos from the computer. Apparently google also
sucks up photos as I take them, but since I don't have a data plan it
has to wait until I'm logged into the wifi at home.

Similar, but I edit with Picasa -- which does pretty much everything I
want doing. I use xv sometimes, but it doesn't save EXIF info. It's
been a while since I was willing to go to the bother of figuring out how
to use gimp to straighten pictures of tall buildings the way a view
camera would. It wants to organize the photos into albums, but its
display of subdirectories etc. is sufficiently cluttered that I delete
the 'albums' it creates. This is probably a mistake :-(
