“Imagine you could take a photo with any digital camera, load it
onto your PC running a free operating system like GNU/Linux, print
it, email it, put it on your web site, save it on your storage
media in popular graphics formats or just view it on your
monitor.

“gPhoto makes all this possible.

“gPhoto (GNU Photo) is a free graphical application for
retrieving, organizing and publishing images from a range of
supported digital cameras or existing images on your local
harddrive.

“gPhoto sports a new HTML engine that allows the creation of
gallery themes (HTML templates with special tags) making publishing
images to the world wide web a snap.”
