I use two users. Then I change the permisions (acl, actually) so that the
photos have rw permission for the group, and both users belong to that
group.

There is another problem: moving the photos from one user to another does
not copy any of the tags or comments, despite the setting be to save them
on the photos.
 
Interesting, I expected that image adjustments would be lost, but
tags and other data written to files would be picked up.
 
So I have to copy, not move, manually apply tags and
comments, then delete in "from" folder.
