Free photoshop software for linux

PhotoRec is a small tool to recover pictures from digital camera memory. Photorec software searches for MOV and JPEG headers, and because there is (usually) no data fragmentation, it can recover the whole file.
It can recover data from CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, USB Memory Drives...
PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
Photorec ignores the filesystem, this way it works even if the filesystem is severely damaged.
It can recover lost files at least from:
- FAT,
- NTFS,
- EXT2/EXT3 filesystem
Digital Camera
PhotoRec has been successfully tested with:
- Canon EOS300D, 10D
- HP PhotoSmart 620, 850, 935
- Nikon CoolPix 775, 5700
- Olympus C350N, C860L, Mju 400 Digital, Stylus 300
- Sony DSC-P9
- Praktica DCZ-3.4
- Casio Exilim EX-Z 750
PhotoRec searchs known file header and because there is no data fragmentation (usually), it can recover the whole file. Photorec recognises numerous file format including:

Enhancements:
- A new method for handling fragmented data is now used, making recovery more reliable and faster.
- This release can be set to search for files in FAT16/FAT32 unallocated space only, which avoids wasting time recovering files that are still accessible, making the recovery of lost files much faster and more efficient.
- New file formats have been added.

Apache::BioChrome is an Apache handler for Image::BioChrome to colorize gif files based on information provided in the url.

SYNOPSIS

#httpd.conf
PerlTransHandler Apache::BioChrome

# anywhere you can configure a location
< Location /biochrome >
PerlSetVar biochrome_cache /tmp/biochrome
PerlSetVar biochrome_source /usr/www/images/biochrome
< /Location >

This module is designed to allow the automatic building of gif images that make up an interface by using the Image::BioChrome module to replace values in the global color table. It takes the color information from the URL and creates a copy of the gif file from the source directory in the location specified by the biochrome cache variable. This file is then returned by apache using the standard delivery method.

I developed this module because we produce lots of web sites where a high proportion of the site interface is common. But where images need to be in a different color for specific sites.
Once you have the handler setup as above you can call it in two different ways:
/biochrome/alpha_ff0000_0000ff/picure.gif

Will take the file picture.gif and do an alpha map replacement using the colors ff0000 and 0000ff as the two ends of the spectrum. The use of alpha maps should be familiar to anyone who uses photoshop or gimp a lot. Essentially the colors are taken from the url and used as follows. The first color will be the background color of the image. The second color will be applied to those pixels where the red channel is turned on.

/biochrome/ff0000_00ff00_0000ff_ccffff/picure.gif

Will take the file and replace colors in the global color table with those provided on the url. In the example whatever color was the first in the color table will be replaced with red. Colors are replaced until we run out of replacements or positions in the color table to replace.

For further details of how to create your graphics and examples of using BioChrome see the examples directory or the Image::BioChrome documentation.

PHP PSD reader reads .PSD files (Adobe Photoshop Documents) using only PHP4 or PHP5 and GD. The project comes with imagecreatefrompsd (a function that returns an image handle just like the native PHP imagecreatefrom functions).

It supports documents from Adobe Photoshop 3.0 up to version CS3, where compatibility has been enabled. The class is also usefull for retrieving basic data from a Photoshop document.

You can use this script for a portfolio gallery, or to see the contents of a .psd file when Photoshop is not available.

True Color Picker is a PHP class that can be used to present a palette to let the user pick colors.

It displays an image with all the tones for the user to pick by clicking in an image point with the desired tone similar to Photoshop.

It uses AJAX to update the picker boxes without reloading the page.

VIPS is a free image processing system. It aims to be about half-way between Photoshop and Excel: it is very bad at retouching photographs, but very handy for the many other imaging tasks that programs like Photoshop get used for.
It is good with large images (images larger than the amount of RAM in your machine), and for working with colour. Here is a recent publication on VIPS.
VIPS comes in two main parts: libvips is the image-processing library and nip2 is the graphical user-interface.
Both work on Unix (with convenient packages for Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu and FreeBSD), Windows (NT, 2k and XP only) and Macintosh (OS 10.2 and later). The VIPS library is licensed under the LGPL and and the user-interfaces are licensed under the GPL.
VIPS has been used and developed in the EU projects VASARI, MARC, VISEUM, ACOHIR, CRISATEL, ARTISTE and MUSA. The Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton use it as an image processing framework in research projects.
Its used at The National Gallery, London for most of their imaging research. VIPS is also used in a number of other labs, museums and galleries around the world (including MOMA, the Louvre and BStGS), mostly for infra-red reflectogram mosaic assembly. IIPimage use it to manipulate very large images.
