flPhoto is a basic image management and display program based on the FLTK
toolkit and is provided under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
It can read, write, and display digital camera EXIF information and supports
the following image file formats:
BMP, CRW, JPEG, PhotoCD, PNG
flPhoto organizes image files into albums which can be:
Printed, Viewed as a slideshow, Exported to web pages
Images can be imported individually, by directory, or from digital cameras
using the gPhoto library.
Image files can be transformed and touched-up; the following image operations
are available:
Crop, Rotate, Scale, Auto-Correct, Adjust Brightness and Contrast,
Remove Red Eye, Sharpen, Blur
G'MIC stands for GREYC's Magic Image Converter. This project aims to:
* Define a minimal but powerful script language (G'MIC) dedicated to the
design of image processing pipelines.
* Provide an interpreter of this language (in C++), distributed as an
open-source module/library embeddable in third-party applications.
* Propose two binary tools embedding this interpreter :
o The command-line executable gmic to use the G'MIC framework from a shell.
o The interactive plug-in gmic_gimp to bring G'MIC capabilities to the image
retouching software GIMP.
[ edited excerpt from developer's www site ]
During image processing operations such as scanning and scaling,
images tend to get blurry.
The blurred impression of these images is due to the fact that image
pixels are averaged with their neighbors. Blurred images don't have
sharp boundaries and look as though they have been taken with an
unfocussed camera.
Refocus is a GIMP plug-in to "refocus" the image, using a technique
called FIR Wiener filtering. The traditional technique for sharpening
images is to use unsharp masking. Refocus generally produces better
results than unsharp masking.
The plugin can be found under "Filters > Enhance > Refocus"
exrtools is a set of simple command-line utilities for manipulating
with high dynamic range images in OpenEXR format. OpenEXR is a high
dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light
& Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
exrtools was developed to help experiment with batch processing of
HDR images for tone mapping. Each application is small and
reasonably self-contained such that the source code may be of most
value to others.
exrtools currently only works with RGBA OpenEXR files. As well, the
code assumes that the EXR files and PNG files all use sRGB primaries
and gamma function.
The GIMP is designed to provide an intuitive graphical interface to a
variety of image editing operations. Here is a list of the GIMP's
major features:
Image editing
-------------
* Selection tools including rectangle, ellipse, free, fuzzy, bezier
and intelligent.
* Transformation tools including rotate, scale, shear and flip.
* Painting tools including bucket, brush, airbrush, clone, convolve,
blend and text.
* Effects filters (such as blur, edge detect).
* Channel & color operations (such as add, composite, decompose).
* Plug-ins which allow for the easy addition of new file formats and
new effect filters.
* Multiple undo/redo.
libdmtx - software for reading and writing Data Matrix barcodes
libdmtx is open source software for reading and writing Data Matrix
barcodes on Linux, Unix, OS X, Windows, and certain mobile devices. At
its core libdmtx is a shared library, allowing C/C++ programs to use its
capabilities without restrictions or overhead.
Data Matrix barcodes are two-dimensional symbols that hold a dense
pattern of data with built-in error correction. The Data Matrix
symbology (sometimes casually referred to as "DataMatrix") was invented
and released into the public domain by RVSI Acuity CiMatrix.
LibRaw is a library for reading RAW files obtained from digital photo
cameras (CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF, DNG, and others).
LibRaw is based on the source codes of the dcraw utility, where part of
drawbacks have already been eliminated and part will be fixed in future.
The users of the library are provided with API to be built into their
software programs.
LibRaw is intended to be used in any software that involves RAW file
processing for a variety of purposes: RAW converters, data analyzers,
panorama stitchers, noise suppressors, etc.
VIPS's a free image processing system. It aims to be about half way between
Excel and Photoshop. It's obviously much smaller than these two, but it's
not a toy either (about 200k lines of code). It's very bad at photo
retouching, but it's great (much better than programs like Photoshop, I
think) at all the other things you use photoshop for. It's particularly
good with large images (ie. images larger than the amount of RAM in your
machine), and for working with colour.
Xournal is an application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a
stylus. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other alternatives such
as Jarnal, Gournal, and NoteLab.
Xournal aims to provide superior graphical quality (subpixel resolution) and
overall functionality; however it lacks the collaborative features of Jarnal.
Since Xournal is still in its early development stages, it may not be fully
stable, and some features have not been implemented yet.
Xournal supports annotation of PDF files through the Poppler library; PDF files,
much like paper styles, are loaded as an immutable background image.
Luminance HDR is an open source graphical user interface application that
aims to provide a complete workflow for HDR image processing.
