Editing Batches of Photos Easily on Linux

“Akkana Peck introduces David’s Batch Processor, a Gimp plugin
that makes editing big batches of photos a breeze. Resize them for
the Web, make them lighter or darker, crop, rotate– DBP does it
all.

“Do you take a lot of photos over the holidays? I know I do,
what with getting together with family and friends.

“And then you get back home, pick the best 50 or so — and face
the problem of how to get them all ready to share on the web. Not
to mention all those photos you shot of the neighbor’s Christmas
lights that came out too dark … how do you brighten those all up
at once?

“If you’re good with the command line and shell scripts, you may
already be familiar with ImageMagick, covered in these previous
Linux Planet articles: Building Attractive Web Photo Galleries and
Writing a Simple Web Gallery.

“But not everyone is a command-line whiz. If you’re more
comfortable with menus and buttons, don’t give up hope. There’s a
GIMP plug-in that’s perfect for you: David’s Batch Processor, or
DBP.”
