Upcoming Linux Distributions in Pictures
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux world's three most influential community distributions, Fedora,
| OpenSUSE and Ubuntu, are each undergoing beta testing toward a late fall
| release. eWEEK Labs takes a look at some of what's new in this Linux OS trio.

Linux Digital Photography Studio
,----[ Quote ]
| Here is a sampling of my favorites:
|
| * Digikam is an awesome all-in-one photo archiving and management,
| editing, and printing application. It's not an advanced editor like
| Gimp and Krita, but its feature set is comprehensive enough that you
| won't need Gimp or Krita for every editing job. It includes dcraw for
| high-quality RAW file manipulation, all kinds of handy batch processes,
| tags for organizing vast quantities of photos, and a super-nice
| composition and cropping editor.
|
| * Even though Gimp still lags behind the resolution of modern digital
| cameras and supports only 8-bit RGB, it's still more than good enough
| for Web images and darned good printed photos. You'll have to compare
| to very high-end color printing to see the differences that higher
| resolution and more accurate color management make. It's just a matter
| of time until Gimp delivers 24- and 32-bit depths and CMYK; the current
| release incorporates the GEGL image-processing framework for the first
| time, which supports these higher resolutions and more color spaces.
| It's still buggy, but it's on its way.
|
| * I gave Krita my vote as the real "Photoshop killer", and I still feel
| that way. It supports more color spaces than any other Linux
| application, and it was designed from the ground up to meet the needs
| of professionals. Though now that Gimp is moving to GEGL, I can say
| that Linux will someday have two "Photoshop killers". The biggest
| difference will be the sheer numbers of plugins available for
| Photoshop; everyone in the world writes Photoshop plugins.

Ubuntu Photo Manager Experiment
,----[ Quote ]
| I am quite shocked by this, but the answers to all 3 of my initial questions
| is yes. There isn’t an all-in-one package that will do the trick, but by
| combining Ubuntu’s file manager Nautilus for project management, Raw Therapee
| for raw processing, and the Gimp for non-raw processing, just about
| everything I do in Aperture can be done on Ubuntu Linux using free and open
| source solutions.

Linux, a photographer's dilemma. . .
,----[ Quote ]
| Obviously, alot has changed since Mandrake version 8. Some time ago,
| I tried a live CD for Ubuntu version 5.10 - and was very impressed.
| As we speek, I'm downloading Ubuntu 6.10.
|
| Once again, I'm flirting with the opensource idea because upgrading
| to Window's VISTA simply isn't going to happen for me.

| I began this series of tutorials some time ago already, and all of them
| covered light issues. We used tools like levels, curves, or white balance
| adjustment.
