| 520957 | 2007-01-31 01:52:00 | As some Of you may know I am getting a new Digital Camera. Are their any users here of Linux, who make extensive use of open-source editors. If so, what are they and how do they rate. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 520958 | 2007-01-31 01:59:00 | KiwiTT, One that seems quite popular is Gimp. I just use the rather simple one that comes as part of Xandros and it does most of what I want. It doesn't allow me to change the background of a shot - at least I haven't found out how. Jim |

| 520959 | 2007-01-31 02:04:00 | I was also going to recommend Gimp as it is mentioned regularly as a good alternative to Photoshop. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 520960 | 2007-01-31 02:13:00 | Thanks. I have heard of GIMP. Will certainly give that one a try. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 520961 | 2007-01-31 02:32:00 | How extensively do you wish to edit photos? GIMP is good for advance editing, but it will be overkill if you only wish to adjust resolution, contrast and remove red eye etc. Picasa is available for Linux (picasa.google.com) if you are familiar with that program. | Jen (38) | ||
| 520962 | 2007-01-31 02:47:00 | Thanks Jen. Looks as if there are a few alternatives. I am just downloading OpenSuse10.2, as I am familiar with SuSE and like the YaST for configuration. |

| 520963 | 2007-01-31 23:48:00 | If you use digiKam to manage your photos on Linux it has a pretty good built in photo editor. It won't do everything the GIMP can but is designed specifically for photo retouching. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
