Like many others, I enjoy processing digital photos. In the old days I played in the darkroom, now I like to think that my computer, plus software, is my digital darkroom. So, what do I want to do? I want to be able to selectively crop whilst maintaining a fixed aspect, usually 7 x 5 because I print on paper 7in x 5in and I want the print to be borderless. In addition I want to be able to adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, colour casts and to be able to remove or change bits of the photo to improve the end result. Not a lot is it?
I would like to add that although the gimp is probably the best for all your needs most of what you want can be achieved in f-spot and digiKam for sure. Although digiKam is the kind of defacto photo app for KDE it will run on ubuntu and has lot of facilites and is quite easy to use. How ever the gimp is like photoshop or paintshop pro it's an industry strength tool that is available to everyone. -- Seek That Thy Might Know -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
