Andrewski Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) I just got back from a trip to Europe where I took 300 pictures. I put them all on CD, so I could exchange with other members of the trip and so I could put them on the web. However, some of them need a bit of tweaking first. (My SLR skills are less than professional. :o) Can anyone recommend any software to do a bit of light and colour correction, some batch resizing, and some rotating? I bet some will say the Gimp and I would preemptively ask, "Is it too hard to learn?" Secondly, when I put them on the web, can anyone recommend any software I can administer on my webspace to set up a dynamic slide show thinger? That'd be really cool and a lot more organised than just dumping them in a folder on my webpage. Sorry for not doing too much research beforehand; I have a busy weekend and start school next week so I want to minimise any dead ends. Thanks!

tons Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Use Gimp, it is not very hard to learn :) . But there are other tools: Kuickshow (KDE) can do simple brightness, contrast and gamma modifications. xnview (www.xnview.org) for batch operations like, renaming, resizing, generating a web page etc. Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) gimp.org theres great stuff there, if only people opened their eyes the greatest tutorial for gimp is 'grokking the gimp' google for it, though it think it ias at the gimp's site Edit: Also, for a gallery thingo, if oyu have access to a serverr with PHP, there is some great stuff at www.hotscripts.com Edited January 3, 2004 by iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I read Konqueror has a plug-in allowing for the easy creation of a Html image gallery. Don't think there's movement involved though, if that is what you mean with 'dynamic'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) pixieplus (for kde) makes web galeries and thumbnails. I used it to make the thumbnails on my site. http://home.houston.rr.com/bvc/pics.html I installed kde3.2beta and the plugin for konq but i have yet to find anything that pertains to it.

Andrewski Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Thanks for the help, all. Good suggestions on the Gimp and xnview; I remember using the latter in Windows for my astronomy pictures (usually around 30 of the same object :)). Iphitus, all I could find at hotscripts.com was things that cost money. Not to be a cheapskate, but I really don't have much. I'm interested in something like that (e.g. PHP) though; do you know of any others? bvc, thanks for the pixieplus suggestion; that seems promising in the absence of anything else from iphitus et al.
