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"

    Please note that we have added a consequence for using proprietary software. Any contact with proprietary software will result in an 'unsatisfactory' mark on your official testing record followed by death. Good luck!

    I immediately subconsciously discredited the author when he stated that the golden ratio was a requirement.

    Apparently, your subconscious also posted this to slashdot.

    Holy crap, how does one spell that? o_0

    How did the author come up with this name? Did he smashed the keyboard with an enraged basement cat or what? Or is it "Cthulhu" reversed and triple-ROT13'd?...

    But it's the golden ratio: the most perfect of ratios!

    As far as GIMP interface is concerned, let's just say its different than, er, Photoshop. It has been discussed and beaten to death already anyways, and offtopic here.

    In my opinion, it hasn't been beaten to death enough.
