I don't think Linux can compete with OS X or Windows for digital
darkroom stuff but I've had good success with VueScan. Image quality is
much better than Sane. PhotoShop7 is far superiour to Gimp. I enjoy
using Image Magick, especially for web stuff. Not sure about large
images though. http://www.imagemagick.org Here are some useful
commands:
mogrify -format png *.jpg // Convert all jpgs to png files
mogrify -verbose -resize 400x400 -sharpen 25 -compress JPEG -quality 80
*.jpg // Resize all images to a max of 400 wide or 400 high, sharpen,
and compress
mogrify -verbose -rotate 90 -compress JPEG -quality 80 -format jpg
A10.jpg A6.jpg B3.jpg
mogrify -verbose -rotate 270 -compress JPEG -quality 80 -format jpg
A6.jpg B3.jpg C25.jpg A10.jpg
montage +frame +shadow +label -tile 10x1 -geometry 300x300+0+0 *.jpg
joined.jpg // Create a montage of 10 images
import -window root a_screenshot.jpg // Create a snapshot of screen
When I get a chance I'm going to make some scripts for Nautilus so I can
just right click on the thumbnail and run a script. There must be a
variable for the filename and path I can use for this. Would be handy
for rotating images.
