Free photos software for linux

resizePhoto is a nice service menu to resize your photos to a size suitable for emailing. It will resize any picture so that it is no more than 640 pixels on a side while preserving the aspect ration. This size can easily be changed by editing a text file.

You can resize any number of photos simultaneously by multiselecting them in Konqueror, then choosing the "Resize Photo" service menu.

A dialog will display the progress. The dialog has a cancel button.

Usage:

Open a folder containing some image files (.png, .jpg, .gif) in Konqueror.

Select one or several of these files.

Right-click one of the selected file and select Action->Resize Photo. (See first screenshot.)

A dialog will appear showing the progress of the resizing. (See second screenshot.) Press cancel if you so desire.

A folder named "Sized" will appear in the image folder. The resized photos are in that folder.

To install:

Extract the two files from the tar.gz file. Copy the .desktop to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. Copy the .sh file to somewhere in your path such as /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or ~/bin. Double check that the .sh file is executable.

Edit the resizePhotos.sh file to change the size of the resized files, or the name of the "Sized" directory.

Photosight.ru photo previewer shows the last 4 photos uploaded to www.photosight.ru, it also shows the author and the photo name.

Installation:

Just unpack it into some folder, start SuperKaramba and load the photosight.theme file.

Usage:

New photos are downloaded every 2 minutes. If you want to change the update
interval - edit photosight.theme manually and change interval=120000 to
whatever you like (just to remind you, the interval is in milliseconds).

Click (or doubleclick) on the photo will open its web page with bigger picture and comments. By default "konqueror" browser is used.

Configure theme:

"Background" - allows you to change a background of the theme. They are stored in "background" directory under your theme folder.

"Browser" - if you want to change the browser used, just type its command name ("firefox" for example).

"Font name" - changes the font ("Arial" will work, if its installed in the system, of course).

"Font size"
"Font shadow" - are self explanatory, I hope.

Photo resize is a service menu for KDE that changes the selected pictures to the chosen size (550x550px, 500x500px, 450x450px,200x200px,150x150px).

The geometry will be hold. The script will size the pictures to their longer side.

Attention: The pictures will be overwritten!!

This is a Photo Library program from Linspire. They developed it for their Linspire Linux Desktop, and then released it under the GNU/GPL.

This is a pretty neat program, the only drawback is that the path where it saves your photos is hardcoded into the program. The best part is that it has an option to turn your photo libraries into (S)VCD and sets them to your favorite music. Very cool!

Was tested on SuSE - 9.2 with no problems.

Installation:

To install just type "python install.py" as root. It is that easy!
