View 6 RepliesThe only thread on creating a contact sheet appears to be years old & locked:- (photography) how to create a single jpg /tif contact sheet? So may I ask what's the most common method today of creating a set of contact sheets of a directory of, say, 500 photos (on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid)? The only thing I really want to specify is the grid (e.g., 4 photos by 6 photos, or something like that).
imagemagick
gThumb
For example:
Code:
montage -label "%f" -frame 5 -pointsize 10 -geometry +4+6 *.jpg index1.jpg
This supposedly creates an 4x6 grid of images with a label under each image (of pointsize 10).Here's another example from the net:
- ImageMagick Thumbnails and Contact Sheets
What do YOU use to create a decent contact sheet set out of a large directory of photos?
Some 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?
I am a beginner with Ubuntu and I have limited knowledge with computers. I want to be able to professionally edit photos and film to create videos. Can you please let me know what programs would be good to download?

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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone aware of a photo-organizer that sorts by folder like picasa does it? Like when you have all your different albums already neatly sorted into different folders Picasa just lists each folder as a separate album, regardless of date and other information. It didn't work in f-spot when I last tried (couple of month ago) and I haven't tried it shotwell and gthumb yet because it isn't mentioned anywhere under their respective features. Also I'm hesitating to download and install both these apps because I have a lot of pictures which take a while to import.

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 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?

#1: Folder-based albums
#2: Select and email photos with resizing
#3: View videos as well as photos
there are plenty of other features I'd LIKE, but these I NEED. Note that #1 is ALBUMS, not just a directory structure (like e.g. GThumb). I've tried anything and everything I could find:

View 2 Replies View RelatedMS office 2003 came with a prgram called "Microsoft Office Photo Manager". It was a surprisingly lightweight application that could adjust color, crop and resize photos. Very simple interface, easy to use. Perfect for simple modifications to digital photos. Is there anything like this in linux? Gimp is certainly not it. Office Drawing and F-Spot photomanager are not it either.

My issue is that when I boot from the disc I get up to the Ubuntu loading screen and then it shows my background all scrambled and nothing happens, I cant do anything, no windows pop up at all. Is this and issue with my computer or with the disc, or maybe im missing something necessary.

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.

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.

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 2 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?
I can't seem to change my profile photo in Empathy.I'm not messing with my Facebook or MySpace profile photo, just my MSN Messenger profile photo.Now, I can click on the photo space, and choose my image, and it shows that it has been changed, but as soon as I close the window or switch to a different profile,it goes back to default
