Text of the page (random words):
linux photos and imaging linux photos and imaging last updated 2015 11 12 imaging is my biggest non development use of computers yet i wanted to use linux full time without having to use windows thanks to lots of hard work by many linux developers that s no problem linux is great for processing large numbers of images the command line is perfect when you just got back from a trip and you have 500 images that all need to be resized thumbnailed and collected into a web page i haven t seen a good collection of linux imaging links no doubt they exist somewhere if you know of one by all means let me know and i ll add it here so i started this page check out my book beginning gimp from novice to professional is available from your favorite bookseller software i ve written i ve written a little image viewer slide show program called pho which is primarily intended for use on large collections of images after uploading or scanning and a set of useful batch image processing scripts for the same purpose e g you return from a vacation and have 600 images to resize and put into web pages my scripts use the netpbm utilities to do things like resize rotate and translate between formats after i wrote them i found out that imagemagick also offers a great command line utility convert also i have a gimp plug in called pandora for stitching panoramas plus a few simpler gimp plug ins for making labels and business cards and for making cd labels plus i gave an online gimp class in early 2005 via linuxchix you can find the lessons archived at the linuxchix courses site image formats for the web and elsewhere tips on building gimp from source tutorial on using gimp s quickmask some tips on getting a wacom graphics tablet working in linux some of my photos if you re interested other useful linux imaging web sites digital image representation a discussion of different image formats and the difference between raster and vector images tools on flamingtext com lots of weird and neat uses of gimp gug gimp user group linux imaging software and drivers the gimp the premiere open source image processing program the gimp printing gutenprint project which also provides high quality printer drivers for many printers on linux and mac os x gphoto supports a huge list of digital cameras including many usb cameras which aren t yet supported by linux drivers i don t actually use it myself since my camera is serial s10sh a usb serial userspace driver for the canon powershot digital cameras sane scanner access now easy a linux scanning protocol check here for lists of supported scanners hdr images and tone mapping blank slate wacom graphire usb howto wacom graphire2 usb x and the gimp pfaedit is a font editing program photoprint a new program from the gimp print developers for printing photos on linux gdk pixbuf chapter in writing gnome applications sketch and sodipodi are two vector drawing programs openswf i didn t know til recently that shockwave flash was an open format and has free tools available collections of gimp tutorials gimp org tutorials wingimp tutorials useful tutorials no matter what platform you use gug gimp tutorials this site is down a lot if it doesn t answer check back later gimp tutorials on urveillance video com tigert labs tutorials carol s tutorials gimp talk a web forum for sharing gimp tips good tutorials for specific projects changing sky color by decomposing into h s and v layers how to draw cartoons from scratch getting started with the gimp an informal tutorial video capture and editing under linux gimp perl for animation post processing my tutorial on using gimp s quickmask to make a fuzzy border other useful information gimp cheat sheet in pdf blending modes edge detection in gimp a comparison of the various different ways to do edge detection examples of parametric brushes graphics muse all sorts of information on linux graphics including gimp check monitor gamma grokking the gimp is a good though somewhat out of date online book writing gimp plug ins start at developer gimp org writing gimp plug ins from gimp plug ins sourceforge net a community of plug in developers writing gimp perl plug ins http www goof com pcg marc gimp html dov s perl tutorial sburges site tutorials on worth1000 which also has lots of fun photoshop contests gimp script fu tutorial photoshop filters in gimp on linux nifty gimp plug ins resynthesizer sort of a super clone tool some pages describing it monash university newsforge samuel tardieu slacy schwarzvogel tutorial focus blur which selectively increases depth of field according to a map imaging hardware i ve used cameras see my camera review page for more details of what i like and don t like about these cameras the minolta dimage xt and olympus c 730 ultrazoom work great with linux they use usb storage protocol so you can mount them like an external disk and copy move photos off them or you can use a photo application if that s what you prefer all the canons i ve had use the annoying usb camera protocol linux can talk to them but only through an app like gphoto and usually only after endless fiddling trying to get gphoto to recognize the camera and then all your images show up with upper case filenames if you just want to snarf all your latest images onto the computer so you can deal with them there you re better off using an external card reader printers epson c86 parallel usb i got tired of fighting with debian which refused to support the photo 700 and bought a c86 it s much faster and quieter than the 700 and very well supported use the c84 setting on older linux distros that don t list c86 and it uses the dura bright fade resistant inks but then debian flaked out on this printer as well and i gave up and switched to ubuntu which drives the c86 just fine epson photo 700 parallel i know it s ancient now but it worked well and gimp print supports it wonderfully debian based distros sometimes don t try the new printconf package not to be confused with the old printconf print spooler which was the default in redhat for so many years lexmark z52 parallel usb my husband tried this because they falsely advertised linux support ick don t buy lexmark here s why scanners epson perfection 2400 well supported by sane epson including the slide attachment slides tend not to focus very well unfortunately and the preview in xsane doesn t show enough detail to tell whether it s focused or not or how good the exposure is some day maybe i ll write an app for scanning slides sane installations tend not to see this scanner automatically you ll probably need to edit etc sane d epson conf and uncomment the appropriate line depending on whether i m running a kernel with the scanner module or using libusb outside the kernel if using the kernel module also make sure it points to the right device for your system dev usb scanner0 or dev usbscanner0 microtek scanmaker 3600 was supported as a sane backend but not the transparency adaptor which is moot because it doesn t seem to be possible to buy the transparency adaptor anyway trying to get it working was quite confusing don t bother trying to download and apply the patch just go to the sane site and get the latest release anything after 1 0 5 and the sm3600 driver will be built in strangely it isn t built in to the sane backends 1 0 5 redhat rpm the instructions on the sm3600 page for setting up hotplug to recognize the scanner work fine once i did that the microtek worked fine but i replaced it with the epson because i wanted a slide capable scanner umax parallel scanner ick umax scanners use a proprietary protocol and won t release specs so there s not much linux support avoid flash memory readers i ve removed this section because basically they all work now other wacom graphire 2 tablet i ve found this quite hard to set up on linux sometimes it works sometimes it doesn t see wacom tips exif manipulation exif is a format digital cameras use in order to store meta information such as exposure data in jpeg images it turns out that there are quite a few open source programs to manipulate exif information jhead exif jpeg camera setting parser and thumbnail remover this is the exif reader i use small neat and simple command line linux and windows libexif on sourceforge metacam camera image meta information reader primarily nikon and olympus bigger than jhead c but works nicely exif tools i couldn t build these they require some include files that i don t have anyway they re meant for cameras running digita mostly hp and kodak cameras not my olympus dphotox uses exif tools optical illusions these don t belong here but they re just too cool and i wanted to save the links somewhere lottolab greyscale illusion optical illusions optinen harha a good collection even if you don t speak finnish general linux links my software my photos shallow sky home akkana
