Here then, is what I use when I get down to actually editing. From geeqie I can handle almost all tasks associated with image ingest prior to more general editing. As I mentioned previously, I have settled on geeqie as my general organizer/viewer. Consequently I prefer an approach that separates the organizer/viewer from the editing tools. On the organization/viewing side, I find most of these to disappoint on the user interface or features, the requirement for an image database, or speed. There are also some commercial options for Linux in this category that I have tried, including LightZone and Bibble Pro. These include Raw Therapee, Raw Studio, etc. At the advanced end we have a few tools that started out as RAW converters and have accumulated features for organization. Targeted at the novice to intermediate level, you have F-spot, digikam, etc.

In this particular post I’ll talk about image editing and conversion.īased on the popularity of iPhoto, Picasa and Lightroom in the commercial, closed software sector, most open source photo management programs from recent years are all-in-one organization/viewing/editing tools.

Please read that first if you are coming to this series fresh–it will provide the necessary background information to explain the purpose of this series. This is part of a series of posts on Linux-based software tools for a photography workflow.
