Photo processing under Linux

As I have moved back to Ubuntu I needed to install some Linux photo processing software. Looking around the Internet it appears that much of the software that I used before is still available and recommended. For example:

  • GIMP
  • UFraw
  • Hugin

I have also installed some software that is new to me but appears to work well so far.

  • Geeqie – a very fast photo viewer
  • Raw Therapee – a “Lightroom like” RAW processor

One good thing I have found out is that both UFRaw and Raw Therapee will successfully process the RAW files from my Canon G12. Photoshop Elements 8 (that I used on Windows) would not do this. Adobe wanted me to upgrade to Version 9 just to get an updated RAW processor 🙁
