Wondering if any else around here is playing with photography under
Linux?

Using a Canon FS4000US (4,000dpi SCSI/USB filmscanner) for high
quality stuff ( ~ 6000x4000 pixel 36bit captures from 35mm negative or
slide film ), and a Canon S100 Elph (1600x1200 24bit) for low res.

VueScan runs the FS4000 very well under Linux and gphoto2 handles the
S100.

*But*, still playing with gimp. Unfort, Gimp only does 24bit RGB and
will not edit in 48bit space, (yes I know about Gimp-Hollywood) and it
seems support for color correction profiles (so I can easily apply a
standard set of corrections to for example fix the CCD color skew from
the camera) is very weak.

It is not so much that I think those responsible for the VMS concept
of file storage are insane, only that large amounts of mind altering
drugs were involved.
