Software :: Need Photo AND Video Management Software
Jun 1, 2010
My wife switched from Windoze XP to Ubuntu 8.04 a couple years ago, and has been almost completely satisfied with the switch. Beyond basic desktop user functions, the most important task she manages is pulling photos and videos off our digital camera. On Win, she was very happy using Picasa, however, the Linux version ignores all video files--does not pull them off the camera, does not display thumbnails, does not tag, etc.
Currently, I have a script to easily pull the files off the camera and file them on her hard drive, but she's very frustrated that they do not show up in Picasa. She is ready for me to install a WinXP VM, simply to pull photos and videos off our camera. This solution is unacceptable to me.
So, I ask you all, is there a Linux application that will run on Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome desktop) that can do the following reasonably well?Move photos AND videos from digital camera to hard drive (via USB)
Organize photos AND videos in one app.Provide thumbnails of videos and either play clip/preview or at least simply open video player to play.I've heard good stuff about F-Spot and digiKam, but it appears neither handles videos as I'm suggesting--just photo files. It also appears digiKam is for KDE, not GNOME, no?

I installed Debian Lenny on a Desktop computer for my wife, and am looking for an application to manage her photos.Specifically, what I'm looking for is a way to graphically display a file of thumbnails that reside in a specific folder and allow me to rearrange the order of them them as I see fit. The altered file would then be written back to the hard drive to be viewed with any photo viewer.

Maybe I don't pay enough attention. I just know that whenever I've wanted to resize an image or email it, I've been able to do it pretty quickly. It was usually a two step process of resizing with an editor and then sending from a menu. Today, though, I went into the shiny new Shotwell and there appears to be no way to resize; or email.
OK. Went back into F-Spot. Surely there's an easy way to resize and/or email from there. Nope. Are we missing an easy way to do this or am I missing something? I love Gimp but do I have to use that to resize an image? Seems like overkill. Ostensibly, there should be a one stop process - either from an app or from Nautilus - send image and a quick dialog to ask what size and GO!

I was looking in the net but I cant find ... I need a software to grab photos and videos from my photografic machine (photos .jpeg and videos .avi) and some folders... I've try f-spot and picassa none of them could import videos. Try to digikam but it freezes maybe because I have gnome version of Fedora 12.

i just fixed my old-ish laptop (pop accident) and instead of putting window on it my dad talked me into trying ubuntu out, gotta say love it, fast and everything but having major problems. i have a lenovo 3000 v200. everything is the same as out of the box except the keyboard, only thing i really needed to replace.
ok problems
1) wireless is not working: i have the switch on (side of the laptop) and bluetooth lights up but wireless doesnt. (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). now i just learned about 'rfkill list' it shows that there is a soft block on the wireless. tried " rfkill unblock 0" nothing happened. also when i tried finding out wat kernel im using " uname-r" to find out more on why its not unblocking, the CLI says "comand isnt found" next two problems are small but are still frustrating
2) built in camera: the green light is on next to the lens but when trying to test the camera on skype or a photo program the video feed/ picture is black, or blank. not sure what i can do to fix that.
3) fingerprint scanner: yes i have one, i know its not efficient but I still like using it to login in instead of typing. im not sure how to get linux/ubuntu to recognize it if it even is. not sure how to set it up if it is recognized.
i would like to fix the wireless more than anything, if i can fix the camera and scanner then yeay, otherwise i can survive. oh and note i did try using the "additional drivers" app. nothing popped up.

I'm looking for some simple to use photo editing software for KDE. I don't really need the GIMP. I just want to do some simple auto-enhancement, rotating, and resizing. Pretty simple stuff. I'm trying to install Shotwell right now. I've used it on Gnome installs, (Ubuntu refugee), but I was wondering if there is a similar native KDE application.

For some reason while Cheese will take photos with my webcam there's no photo stream and it doesn't save photos to my /home/jonquil/Pictures/Webcam directory. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is there another application I can use to take photos?

Please help me save my marriage.I talked my wife into using linux awhile back with no problems, but now she has gotten into scrapbooking and wants a easy to use program to add boarders (lots to choose from, I have tried fotowell) and of course general editing. She tried Gimp but it is more than what she is looking for.

Simple question really. Can anyone recommend some decent photo printing software. I have tried Gnome Photo Printer and PhotoPrint.
Photoprint would be perfect, but for some reason doesn't like my printer.
Gnome Photo Printer doesn't give me the control I need over layout, or resolution, paper type, etc.
Shotwell and Gthumb don't seem to have the facility to print multiple photos in one go on a single sheet. So I am kind of stuck.

On the best photo tools. I love GIMP for photo editing, but I'm looking for alternatives to the default viewer and manager (currently Shotwell) for downloading images off my camera and organizing them.

I'm using 10.10. The FSpot and Shotwell programs that came with 10.10 don't seem to have any good controls for adjusting slide show display of photos. Could anyone recommend a good photo slide show display program that allows one to adjust pan, display time, smooth transitions, etc.

Is there a good photo printing tool available for Debian? I have a HP ePhotosmart B110a printer and want to print photo's on glossy photo paper (10x15 cm and 13x18 cm). Which program do you people advice and why? I've been trying a couple (digikam/F-spot/Photoprint) but they didn't satisfy me. It seems that these programs lack some handy options like the tools for Windows i've been working with in the past.

I have upgraded from fedora 12 to 13 and I noticed that gnome preview for OpenOffice documents, pdf files and photos is not working. For photos, after I open them with eog then preview is working.

I have a brand new Sony DPF-D75 Digital photo frame. I tried connecting it through the usb port with my 11.3 box in order to upload my pictures to it, but it isn't automatically mounted (unlike any other usb device I plug in, like my mouse & pen drive). Should I install any specific driver or something?

I'm running Google Chrome (4.0.249.43) on Ubuntu 9.10 and the photo uploader on Facebook always only produces a grey box. Is this a problem with Java or just a standard issue with Ubuntu?

I'm looking for a screensaver application which will show random photos from my collection, but rather than just changing between images, I'd like something which shows them in a cool way, for example, on my brother's Mac, the screensaver displays photos, but as if they're being dropped onto a surface, i.e. not always with the same orientation.

In F-Spot there's this nice function that shows a slideshow of all your photos as a screensaver. Since I've abandoned F-Spot in favor of Digikam URL...I was wondering if there is a way to do something similar in Digikam.

I'm unsure as to whether this is an Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem, but here's what's going on. Whenever I attempt to upload a photo on a website (such as Facebook or Funnyjunk.com), Firefox crashes. The microsecond I click "upload", it's gone.When I restart Firefox, I have the option of restoring my previous session, as normally happens after a FF crash.Is this a documented bug? I don't recall it ever happening on Windows, and I can't seem to find anything about it.

I have a 3TB home server storing all my files and a mix of XP, Vista & Ubuntu clients on a Gigabit network. When I access a folder with JPEG photos on the XP or Vista machines and I have them set to display thumbnails that is exactly what I get. The thumbnails load nice and fast. When I access the same folders on the Ubuntu machines with "icon view" it only displays a black icon that says "JPG" but if I copy that folder over to a local drive on the Ubuntu machines then the thumbs display just fine. Does anyone have any idea how to change this on the Ubuntu machines so they load thumbnails for networked photos as well?

I am trying to change my default photo manager from F-Spot to Shotwell, but I cannot find a photo option in "Preferred Applications" The frustrating part is having F-Spot open every time I plug in my camera.
