Free canon powershot digital cameras software for linux

Digital Camera Protocol is another command-line utility for DC21x cameras, this one looks and works just like "ftp" command. Not written by me, but uses some of my low-level Kodak code from digicam.

Fedora Digital Object Repository is an open source software which gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects.
Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
This unique combination of features makes Fedora an attractive solution in a variety of domains. Some examples of applications that are built upon Fedora include library collections management, multimedia authoring systems, archival repositories, institutional repositories, and digital libraries for education.
Enhancements:
- This is a significant release of Fedora that includes a complete repackaging as a proper Web application.
- A new installer application makes it easy to setup and run.
- It now uses Servlet Filters for authentication.
- The Fedora repository can also be configured to calculate and store checksums for content.
- The RDF-based Resource Index has been tuned for better performance.
- A new high-performing RDBMS-backed triplestore has been developed that can now be plugged into the RI.

DigicaMerge project is a commandline tool to merge directories of pictures taken with digital cameras. If youve got a digital camera, your hard disk probably contains many directories full of pictures all named with the same names.
This utility allows you to merge such directories contents into a new directory, and renames all the pictures on the fly, ensuring no filename clash will occur.
You can define your own naming scheme, using either a set of predefined variables or any recognized Exif tag which may be present in your pictures, and also specify a pattern to select only certain files.
Installation:
- Extract it :
$ gzip -d digicamerge-x.xx.tar.gz | tar -xf -
where x.xx is digicamerges latest version number.
- Install it :
Go to digicamerges directory:
$ cd digicamerge-x.xx
Just type:
$ python setup.py install
You may need to be logged in with sufficient privileges (e.g. root)
This will generally install digicamerge in /usr/local/bin or an equivalent path depending on your system.
- Launch it :
Just type :
$ digicamerge
And read the long help message which contains examples.
Enhancements:
- A command line option was added to automatically remove duplicate pictures when merging directories.
- The manual page is now included in the package.

VStar PhotoAlbum is a Web-based photo album designed for amateur photographers with digital cameras and their own Web server or home page.

VStar PhotoAlbum alleviates the need to spend much time creating Web pages to show off photographs, and it automatically makes periodic backups for photos.

recoverPhotos is a program that recovers digital images from camera memory cards that have been formatted or damaged.
This program relies on the fact that most photos are composed of contiguous sectors. If you tend to delete a lot of photos before a format, then you might not have very good success. But if you are like me: who reformats every time) then you fill get most of your pictures back.
This program has only been tested with a 20d. Any success stories are welcome.
HOW TO USE
To run this program I recommend you first copy the contents of the card to a file in your machine. The easiest way is to use the dd command.
Instructions:
- Connect the camera or the flashcard to the computer.
- Check what is the mount point for your camera or the flashcard. You can use the mount command for this. For example in my computer the flashcard is mounted as device /dev/sdc1
dmg@platinum recoverPhotos]$ mount
[...]
/dev/sdc1 on /media/EOS_DIGITAL type vfat ...
[...]
Now, use dd to copy the flashcard to a file. For example, this command copies the contents of my memory card to a file called /tmp/card.bytes (You might need to run this command as root).
dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/tmp/card.bytes
Make sure the device name (in this case /dev/sdc1) is correct!
The resulting file should have the same size as the flashcard.
./recoverPhotos /tmp/card.bytes
and check the output. Hopefully you will have a bunch of photos in the current directory. Run the program without parameters to see all the options available.
CANON USERS
If you use a camera that uses the custom function "Add Decision Data" (CF18 in the D20), and you are 100% sure it was on when you took the photos, then make sure you specify the --canonADD option. The option is not critical (it is not part of the photo), but the data is there if you want to recover it.
Enhancements:
- JPEG and Canon CR2 files are supported.

If you are like me you have hundreds or even thousands of images ever since you got your first camera, some taken with a normal camera other with a digital camera.
Through all the years you believed that until eternity you would be able to remember the story behind every single picture, you would be able to remember the names of all the persons on your images, and you would be able to remember the exact date of every single image.
I personally realized that this was not possible anymore, and especially for my digital images - but also for my paper images - I needed a tool to help me describe my images, and to search in the pile of images. This is exactly what KimDaba is all about.
With KimDaBa it is today possible for me to find any image I have in less than 5 seconds, let that be an image with a special person, an image from a special place, or even both.
There is of course no such thing as free lunch - with KimDaBa this means that you have to annotate all your images before you are set. KimDaBa is, however, highly optimized for annotating images, so annotating 100 images in 10 minutes are no way impossible.
Enhancements:
- BUGFIX: Using kapp->invokeHelp to show help rather than kapp->invokeBrowser, as the later doesnt work unless your default browser is konqueror.
- BUGFIX: the category was sometimes shown twice in the status bar
- BUGFIX: remove tokens didnt work for KDE 3.4

Coriander project is the Linux graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling a Digital Camera through the IEEE1394 bus (aka FireWire, or iLink).
Coriander is full featured and besides changing the parameters of the camera it will also let you record video, send images to an FTP site, convert the video to a V4L stream,... A live display is of course provided too.
Best of all, Coriander will work with any camera that is compatible with the IIDC specifications (also known as DCAM specs). This includes most 1394 webcams and a majority of industrial or scientific cameras too.
However, any cameras in which you can insert a video tape (camcorders,...) will NOT work with coriander. These cameras record compressed DV video on the tape, while the IIDC specify uncompressed, on-the-fly video flows.
Main features:
- change picture mode and format.
- camera on/off/reset
- control of Auto/man/one-push-auto, on/off, value and absolute value for all standard features
- memory channel save/load
- full Format_7 control
- control of the external trigger
- transmission on/off/restart
Enhancements:
- Upgrade the framerate calculation to use the timestamps sent by the kernel (through libdc1394)
- Add a counter that shows dropped frames warnings. A warning is issued when the difference between a pervious period and a new period is larger than 50%.
- fixed the bit depth. If the bit depth is available in the camera, it will be used. Otherwise the manual control will be available. I still have problems with my Basler 602f though. It has 10bits but the image is not good: saturated regions appear mid-grey (128) and the other regions are noise.
- sync with libdc1394 (SVN 391)
- fixed missing string in trigger_source_list
- sync with libdc1394
- add more details to configure messages
- added PIO, SIO and strobe direct register read/write
- remove spurious debug messages
- revert part of the change of Feb. 1st regarding the Flea 2 because some other manufacturers implementation systematically fail one of the tests.
- fixed wrong argument order of WritePVNHeader(). Thanks to John Shen.
- Disable features if they dont support any control mode or if they are OFF and their power cant be controlled. This solves a few issues we had with the Flea 2 from Point Grey.
- little update of the "About" window
- dont set 1394b at boot time: let the user do it manually.
- move and fix `extern declarations of string arrays from build_menus.c, build_ranges.c, thread_save.c, tools.c, update_frames.c and update_ranges.c to coriander.h
