Linux Alternatives To Apple's Aperture

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the linux-users-deserve-pretty-pictures-too dept.

somethingkindawierd writes "An experiment focusing on open source tools for Ubuntu Linux to compete with Aperture on the Mac. The author didn't think he would find a worthwhile open source solution, but to his surprise he found some formidable raw processing tools. A good read for any Linux fan or photographer looking for capable and inexpensive tools"

    Now, aside from disliking an Apple product, how is he a tool?

    "non-standard" ahhhh, that's funny. We're talking about digital photography here; not analog. And even then, the masters, such as Adams, would trim their photos to look the way he wanted them: sometimes trimmed them to "non-standard" sizes - gasp!
