Linux and photography

"For many years pho­to­graphy and linux have not been the best friends. But it seems, as if this has changed.

"This week I did some­thing which seemed impossible until now. I kicked Windows.

"No more XP/64, no more 7/64. Go figure.

"Finally there are linux-replacements for the have-to-have-apps like Adobe PS and LR. Now I use Digikam (cur­rently 1.4, see screen­shot above) to manage/edit all my pho­tos, Gimp (2.7, devel) as addi­tional editing-software and also Krita, which has some poten­tial. And the Kipi-plugins are a real time-saver for re-occuring tasks."
