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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm learning how to use F-Spot photo manager.When I click on an image thumbnail in the main browse box, (to highlight it), and then I click the "Edit Image" button at the top, - it doesn't display the highlighted image in the edit box. It displays a default grey picture frame (place holder)

i have hd .mts files i would like to import. i know i can also just browse the card and take them off manually.
I'm using F11, KDE, and Dolphin (primarily) as the file viewer. Is there any quick and easy way to be viewing a giant folder of images in the file viewer and then just highlight a few that you want to resize to 800x600 (or whatever)? Currently I have to pull them into GIMP and then resize each one. Alternatively, I can pretty easily do a command line to resize the whole folder, but I don't really need every image resized. I'm mainly going through and thinking "oh, be fun to send this one to so and so" but I don't want to send them the eitire 18Megapixel image. A nice quick resize to 50Kb and 800x600 or something would be perfect but this just hasn't appeared for me yet.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to open a photo manager and scan directly from within the program without opening a separate app. Is there one that does? I just installed Mint on my daughters laptop. Wow! I'm impressed. I tried a some Linux distros a few years ago and although I liked the idea, I just couldn't find one that impressed me. Things have changed since then! I tried 2 or 3 distros this past week and they all beat the pants off any version of Win... that I've used. I'm so impressed that I am now considering installing on my machine if I can find software replacements. If not, I may still do it and run Virtualbox when I need to. I need to start with the photo manager.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI run Linux Mint and keep 38,000 photos on an external usb hard drive. Problem is, neither Picasa 3 or DigiKam will "remember" the photos if I unplug the drive. When I run Picasa/DigiKam again, it reindexes all 38,000 pics, which of course takes forever.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to Ubuntu. Overall, I really like it. However, I am having trouble finding a replacement for Windows IrfanView and MS Office Picture Manager. The idea is to simply browse, delete, resize, and rotate photos. F-Spot does OK in the editing, but I cannot delete photos as I browse through them. Also, I cannot seem to be able to find info on a viewer that will allow me to resize a group of selected photos similar to what can be done in MS Office Picture Manager (part of MS Office 2003). GIMP is great for one photo at a time...unless I am missing some of its batch functionality.
Any advice is appreciated. I mainly need a flexible tool for quickly going through photo collections,deleting, resizing, rotating, and perhaps some meta data editing (for categorizing / tagging photos).
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.
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
See here: [URL]
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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using a Canon program in XP for downloading pictures from digital cameras (Canon & other).This program puts all the pictures in daily-dated folders, 2010-08-23, 2010-08-24 etc.These dates are creation dates, not download dates.I have several thousand pictures filed like that & I like it.
I am trying to shift my photo activity from XP to Ubuntu, so am experimenting with download managers, but have not found anything yet which produces tha same result as the Canon program or anything as good.
The default program seems to be F-Spot (for how long?) & that creates day-number folders (23) inside month-number folders (08) inside year-number folders (2010). Not sure whether these are creation dates or download dates.
gThumb puts everything into a folder labelled, say 2010-08-23--21.46.19 that being the time, to the second, of the download. It also renumbered all the pictures from 00001.jpg which I don't want!DigiKam put my fresh download into an existing folder I had created last year. Can any of these applications be persuaded to download pictures to folders with a year-month-day label, based on creation date?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been organizing some of my photos and as a KDE user I have installed Digikam. The installation works fine, but when I load Digikam it does not show all of the photo albums in /home/darren/pictures and those albums that it does list have no photos in them. Also my requirements are fairly limited I use GIMP to do any editing. But need to be able upload to Picasa.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMaybe 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!

View 4 Replies View RelatedSome time ago I created a web-site for a local charity, it's a museum. I wrote it all in HTML as that's all I knew. Now I need to archive lots of images and put them in a gallery. From a previous post I learned of Drupal, Joomla and Gallery. The problem is I really don't know where to start. I've attached some details of the server.
My questions are -
- Will my hosting company allow me to install a CMS like Drupal or do I have to use only the modules they supply?
- How can I set up a test site alongside the existing one and merge them later?
- How should I arrange the directories for a gallery with, say, 10 categories?
- How do I prevent any security weaknesses like SQL injection from happening?
