Open Source Linux Digital Camera Software

gPhoto is a program and library framework that lets users download pictures from their digital cameras. The libgphoto2 library gives you access to hundreds of models of digital cameras on several platforms. GIT repo and Issue tracker lives at https://github.com/gphoto/ these days.

Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with extra tags that contain information about the image. The EXIF library allows you to parse an EXIF file and read the data from those tags. Development has moved to https://github.com/libexif/. See https://libexif.github.io for more details.

Luminance HDR is a complete suite for HDR imaging workflow. It provides a wide range of functionalities, during both the fusion stage and the tonemapping stage. Its graphical user interface, based on Qt5, runs on a variety of platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X 10.9 and later and several Unix flavors (Linux, FreeBSD and others). Input images can be supplied in multiple formats, from JPEG to RAW files. In the same way, output can be saved in many different formats as well, from JPEG to TIFF (both 8 bit and 16 bit per channel), enabling all the power of your post processing tools.

[Important] The project moved to GitHub. Please use the following GitHub project page from now on: https://github.com/twain/twain-dsm The home of the TWAIN Data Source Manager (DSM). The DSM manages the interactions between TWAIN applications and TWAIN Data Sources for the acquisition of images from scanners and cameras. This DSM is open source software and uses LGPL licenses.

FastPhotoTagger tries to be the fastest way to set the metadata in your photos. Add, change, delete, and search the metadata fields of your choice. FastPhotoTagger excels when you have lots of files and lots of metadata. With FastPhotoTagger, you can - Set multiple images to have the same tags - Set individual images to have unique tags - Display all the metadata in an image - Compare and edit all the metadata in several images - Work with your favorite metadata fields: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, etc. - Define hierarchical keywords - View images and slideshows that display tags as captions - Create and search a metadata database FastPhotoTagger has versions for PC and Android. FastPhotoTagger uses ExifTool to read & write metadata, HyperSQL to manage its database, dcraw to display DNG & RAW, and ImageMagick to display TIFF. WEBP, & HEIC.

[Important] The project moved to GitHub. Please use the following GitHub project page from now on: https://github.com/twain/twain-samples Use the TWAIN 2 sample data source and application, to test your TWAIN project, or as templates to incorporate TWAIN into your graphic applications or Scanner drivers. The samples are released as open source software and uses a Modified BSD licenses.

NOTE: We are moving this project to GitHub! Digital photographs are not ideal. Of course, the better is your camera, the better the results will be, but in any case if you look carefully at shots taken even by the most expensive cameras equipped with the most expensive lenses you will see various artifacts. It is very hard to make ideal cameras, because there are a lot of factors that affect the final image quality, and at some point camera and lens designers have to trade one factor for another to achieve the optimal image quality, within the given design restrictions and budget. But we all want ideal shots, don't we? :) So that's what's lensfun is all about - rectifying the defects introduced by your photographic equipment.

Project has moved to: https://github.com/lsolesen/pel/ The PHP Exif Library (PEL) provides an easy-to-use library written in pure object-oriented PHP5 which will allow you to read and write the Exif tags commenly found in JPEG and TIFF photos taken w

A new version of the popular raw digital images manipulator ufraw. Forks from the version 0.23 of ufraw (that's why the first nufraw version is the 0.24). Nufraw offers the same features (gimp plugin, batch, ecc) and the same quality of ufraw in a brand new improved user interface.

YASW (Yet Another Scan Wizard) is an application used to correct images taken with a camera. It can be used to post process the scanning of a book (see http://http://www.diybookscanner.org/ ) or to correct an individual image taken with our camera (A poster in the street). You can see YASW (0.5) in action in Youtube http://youtu.be/__a9urAtQD4 thanks to David Landin. He also wrote an illustrated manual for YASW 0.5: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yascanw/files/YASW%200.5/How%20to%20use%20YASW%200.5.pdf/download
