Re: Good tool for light photo editing?
[Stan, 2004-10-06] What's a good tool to do some really lightweight editeing on them with? Mostly I just need to rotate the vertical ones, but I _might_ do just a little cropping on some few. [John Mills, 2004-10-06] ImageMagick (and sibs - it's a collection of utilities, like gcc) does a good job of resizing, thumbnails, format conversion, etc. Check the man pages for rotation commands - I haven't tried that. It has a GUI (as 'display'), is very handy for scripting, and pretty lightweight, too. If this is images from a digital camera, you might want to use jhead to preserve the exif-tags in the image files before tampering with them with ImageMagick.

RE: Good tool for light photo editing?
Stan, have you ever used GIMP? It's higher-power than what you're likely to need -- on the order of Photoshop -- but it's a clean and good editor. -Original Message- From: stan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 2:21 PM To: Free BSD Questions list Subject: Good tool for light photo editing?

In addition to what has already been suggested you might want to try gqview. It is a bit like Window's ACDSee - it's a general purpose image viewer and slideshow. It can do rotation itself, and it has a configurable context menu which can pass an image on to an external editor when you need something more complex. It has predefined entries for gimp, electric eyes, XV, and XPaint. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jerry already said this, but I need to add a 'me too' - I would (and do) use xv for this sort of thing. It's pretty lightweight and can do what you need to do. It can also convert images to lower resolution, which you might want for posting on the web, as well as some amount of color correction type stuff.
