Open Source Mac 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.

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.

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.

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.

“Camera Digital Exif Info” is a free info viewer, provides you to check your digital camera (most of the SLR) shutter count and basic EXIF info. There are various EXIF tools around of course, but cool GUI application and simplicity are always a plus. Shutter actuation is an important factor because it tells you the extent of wear the camera has undergone, and it’s particularly crucial when you are buying used cameras. Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F-number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, white balance, lenses that were used and resolution. All this Informations is usually embedded in the EXIF data of the picture files. This tool is available as a stand-alone Windows win32 executable and a Macintosh OS X package.

macam is focused on developing webcam support for Mac OS X. We are trying to incorporate many different camera types. If you want a camera to work on OSX, join in! We need help with testing cameras (there are soooo many). Please visit the Web Site fi

libiptcdata is a standalone C-library for reading and writing the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata contained in various data files such as images.

NEW: Version 1.10.0 is out - Apple Silicon is now natively supported. dcpTool is a tool for editing DNG camera profiles (DCP files). dcpTool can convert DCP files to and from binary form to an editable XML form, and can also directly do a number of useful transformations to DCP files such as "untwisting" them.

Automatically geocode pictures from your camera and a GPS track log. Following Google code closure the only official webpage is (doc, support, code) : https://github.com/notfrancois/GPicSync

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.

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.

Devignetting application for DNG images; originally written for Leica cameras, CornerFix now works with most cameras including Sony NEX and Sigma DP series. CornerFix fixes the "cyan corners" and/or "red edges" problem when using wide angle lense

Simulate HDR is a plugin for The GIMP that creates two layers from a single image simulating an underexposed and a overexposed shots, creating a High Dynamic Range image. It can create a tone mapping layer to compress the color range of the image.

LinPHA is an easy to use, multilingual, flexible photo/image archive/album/gallery written in PHP. It uses a SQL database to store information about your pictures. It comes with a HTML based installer, so you don't need experience in setting up SQL

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) provides a common object-oriented API to metadata associated with or stored in digital image files. PMT also allows metadata to be read or written in XML. Metadata definitions are expressed through XML Schema.

Coriander is a full-featured GUI for IEEE1394, IIDC-compliant digital cameras.

"A Programmer's Guide to SJCAM SJ4000 WiFi" is a reverse-engineered documentation of WiFi-based control protocol and API in SJCAM SJ4000 WiFi action camera, providing necessary information for free software developers to develop applications or libraries for controlling it wirelessly. The guide also documents details necessary for power users to utilize this feature of their own camera without relying on proprietary SJCAM ZONE software; along with trivia, catches, quirks, and limitations observed in several camera functions. See project website to read the guide online, or visit Files section to download the guide and extra items.

juk is a collection of Java applications. The flagship of which is Gallery Mage (gallmage), an open source photo gallery processing application.

Java access to USB, currently using kernel 2.4 Linux-USB support. There is a "core" API for accessing USB devices, and simple tools including a USB viewer in Swing. Applications are being developed separately, including digital camera support.

OpenExif is an object-oriented library for accessing Exif formated JPEG image files. The toolkit allows creating, reading, and modifying the metadata in the Exif file. It also provides means of getting and setting the main image and the thumbnail image.

Run your own photo website. Camera Life is PHP software you can run to show your photos on your own website. Camera Life is easy to setup and customize if want to blend it in with the rest of your site.

RawCA calculates lens chromatic aberration from a camera raw file. It works by searching for the largest correlation coefficient of different channels while resizing (stretch/shrink) the channels.

Full documentation: Download clipstitchX.Y.html To make movies from your camera (or phone) video files. FFmpeg is a professional-quality, free, open-source program for video editing, with the ability to implement a huge number of operations and handle every data format! This kind of ability comes at a cost: its commands are quite complex-looking and difficult to use and remember. Clipstitch runs as a front-end to ffmpeg so that you use only the sub-set of ffmpeg commands necessary for making a home movie from your digital camera, puts them in easier-to-read form, and internally combines multiple ffmpeg commands to do certain tasks.. You can put Clipstitch commands into a text file and run as a script or type them in manually at a prompt. You can: Select portions of motion files with optional fades/slowmo/speedup, reverse play backwards. Adjust clip order. Concatenate to make your final "movie". V5.5 introduced captions, and special effects features.

Image Tagger is a simple graphical application to allow the tagging of images. It currently allows you to set title, commands, and keywords in the IPTC / EXIF tags. It's not very polished, but it is pretty stable. It uses ExifTool for editing tags.
