Ubuntu: Photography Applications
So you’re a professional photographer or just started in photography and you’re not using Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X, but you’re cool techy guy like me that only use Ubuntu or other Linux Distributions that their dedicated operating system.
I show you some of the useful application I have found and used and hopefully the information I have shared here will be valuable to you!
Photo/Image Management
I use Shotwell for managing all my images that I upload from my DSLR camera. One of the reason that I am using it is because I store all my images on a remote server and it allows me to access my network shared folders.
One of the feature I like most is the ability to batch upload my images to my Fickr or Facebook account.
When you import your photos, they are organised into folders of the date it was taken or created. You can configure it to allow the use of external image editing software like GIMP, but the Shotwell has some very basic editing features for simple touch ups.
