Abstract: Disclosed is a digital photo book creation and management system based on a client-server technology, wherein the client device comprises a touch screen. The system comprises receiving one or more source (or virtual location) of one or more images, via a client user interface and downloading one or more images from the source into the server and client databases. Further, the metadata is extracted from the downloaded images or from the source of the images and stored within the server and client databases. Further, the downloaded images are rated using gesture recognition and the rating is saved as photo's metadata. The images are compiled into a digital photo book that can be edited from the client device based on a criteria performed on the photo's metadata. Further, the compiled digital photo book can be shared with users within the network and can be signed by the visiting users.
