Digital Photography on Arch Linux
Continuing my previous posts about digital pocket camera for medical purposes and a short of medical photography on Dani Iswara .Net blog, this post will concern photography use in Linux, especially Arch Linux. For the hobby and amateur purposes, using Linux on photography is more than enough. At least we can find some free and open source softwares for digital photo management.
Find photo related softwares on terminal using these keywords:
yaourt -Ss photo
yaourt -Ss upload
yaourt -Ss image
yaourt -Ss camera
yaourt -Ss raw
I have these installed within my GNOME desktop:
- extra/cheese 2.32.0-1 (gnome-extra)
- Use your webcam to take photos and videos, apply fancy special effects and share the fun with others.
- extra/gphoto2 2.4.10-1
- A digital camera download and access program.
- extra/testdisk 6.11.3-3
- Checks and undeletes partitions + PhotoRec, signature based recovery tool.

- aur/gimp-plugin-exif-browser 0.1.0-2
- This is an Exif Viewer, mainly for jpeg photos taken with a digital camera. It is an update of the ‘Exif Browser’ plugin from the old registry. It requires a recent version of libexif (tested with 0.6.16).

- Adds an entry to Nautilus’ contextual menu to rename photos to their EXIF date.

Some of them are not stable enough or still in early development version. At least several simple photo management such as:
- Gtkam (digital camera browser),
- Gthumb or Shotwell (photo/image organizer/viewer),
- GIMP (photo/image editor),
- Postr (Flickr uploader),
are enough for me now.

So what is the consideration using a client terminal (e.g flickr uploader) instead a browser based client (e.g flickr homepage).
dani on December 30, 2010 at 14:13:11 using Firefox 3.6.13 on Arch Linux:
Cahya,
The Postr (Flickr Uploader) has a simple GUI.
hendro on December 30, 2010 at 15:26:20 using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP:
Beberapa atau semuanya masih dalam pengembangan bli?
Ada yang masih kurang bagus alias kurang stabil. Tapi setidaknya masih bisa untuk memanage.
Entahlah untuk standalone extra/gimp-ufraw 0.16-4 untuk untuk file mentah.
dani on December 30, 2010 at 15:42:13 using Firefox 3.6.13 on Arch Linux:
hendro,
He he he kalimat di atas sudah saya edit. Tiap aplikasi umumnya masih akan terus dikembangkan. Jadi, maksud saya, beberapa aplikasi di atas ada yang masih versi 0.x (‘early development version’) bahkan ‘alpha’.
Untuk pengelolaan foto RAW (berkas mentah) di GIMP sejauh ini cukuplah buat saya. Belum ada masalah.

aku udah cukup make gimp aja,gak ada tambahan plugin macem macem.karena emang cm pengeditan sederhana saja

Waw. You installed all this package on your linux, Doc?
dani on January 1, 2011 at 17:08:31 using Firefox 3.6.13 on Arch Linux:
alief,
Yang suka pakai format RAW mesti butuh senjata lebih.
ganda,
Yes and those it the best four finally.
Cahya on January 10, 2011 at 10:48:56 using Google Chrome 10.0.629.0 on openSUSE:
Which is better, shotwell or chhobi or album shapper?
dani on January 10, 2011 at 15:18:37 using Firefox 3.6.13 on Arch Linux:
Cahya,
Shotwell has several interesting features: tagging, rating, flagging, and filtering based on its rating.
