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

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).
Cahya,
The Postr (Flickr Uploader) has a simple GUI.
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.
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?
alief,
Yang suka pakai format RAW mesti butuh senjata lebih.
ganda,
Yes and those it the best four finally.
Which is better, shotwell or chhobi or album shapper?
Cahya,
Shotwell has several interesting features: tagging, rating, flagging, and filtering based on its rating.
Ane nyerah deh kalo masalah ginian…
:D so, you turn your arch into “arch linux studio” hehhee
digikam ?
Bhishma,
Digikam is KDE-based
