| dcraw 8.31 | Distributable | Reads the raw image formats of 226 digital cameras |
| Reads and processes raw images from more than 220 digital cameras. Raw images are the data directly read from the CCD of the camera, without in-camera processing, without lossy JPEG compression, and in 36 or 48 bits color depth (TIFF has 24 bits). Problem of the raw images is that they are in proprietary, camera-specific formats as once, there seems not to be a standard format for high-color-depth images, and second, the raw images contain headers with information about camera settings. This is a collection of command line tools to read and convert the raw image files and also to get camera setting information out of them. This program does not download the files from the camera, it only processes the already downloaded files. Depending on your camera model, mount your camera as a USB mass-storage device, use GPhoto2 ("gtkam", "digikam", "flphoto", "gphoto2"), or a flash card reader for downloading the files. | ||

| gimp 2.3.10 | GPL | The GNU Image Manipulation Program |
| The GIMP is an image manipulation program suitable for photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Many people find it extremely useful in creating logos and other graphics for web pages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo. This version of The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP ftp site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get them in ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/ if you are so inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts.

“A disgruntled ex-employee who was in charge of making sure we were
Microsoft compliant turned us in to the Business Software Alliance,”
[Ernie] Ball says. [...] “We were raided by armed Federal Marshals
and completely shut down for a day. Then you have to swear you won't
touch any data other than what is minimally necessary to run your
business,” he says. “I don’t believe you should treat a customer
that way.” [...] The company ended up paying a [USD]$90,000
settlement.
Ball [...] decided at that moment his company would become
“Microsoft free.” According to Ball, “Everyone said we couldn’t do
it. It took us about one year” [to convert to] a Linux-based network
and UNIX mainframe.
“I haven’t had to buy XP, and I haven’t had to buy new computers.”
