[mdlug] Linux and Digital Photography

[Richard Staff]

Well, I'm trying.
One JPEG cropped in GIMP 2.2.
And I got Klaus Goelker's  "GIMP 2 for Photographers".
I'm on chapter 2.
But for RAW editing you need color profiling for your equipment.
Monitor, camera, printer (*.ICC & *.ICM files).
Bibble Pro provides profiles for several cameras (including the D40x).
Bibble Pro is a commercial product, but is available for Linux, Mac OS 
X, and Windows.
Nikon Capture NX does the best RAW image editing, but is not available 
for Linux.
There is something called ArgyllCMS that lets you do color profiling.
But I believe it requires something else (expensive) to profile printers 
& monitors.
I'm a newbie and not a "pro-photographer" yet, thus I'm happy when all 
looks nice.
Smile ... say Linux,   :-D
