I recently started a blog about raw processing using open source software like RawTherapee, dcraw, G’MIC and GIMP - for the moment. It’s partly new and partly translated from my Dutch blog about GIMP and G’MIC.
In the months and years to come, you can expect the following and more, perhaps much more.
To highlight some filters in G’MIC that can be of interest to photographers
To take away some of the complexity of RawTherapee (just finished A Beginners’ Guide today)
I’ll try to explain some of the more complex stuff in RawTherapee like wavelet processing, not in a theoretical but illustrated way. For photographers indeed.
Explain what dcraw does and how to use that in a practical way
How to use GIMP to do things that you can’t do in RawTherapee, like local editing and using layers
How to use GIMP and the Linux terminal to watermark a series of photo
How to use the terminal to make an automated polaroid machine!
Awesome! You’re welcome to publish here as well if you’d like, of course. (Or re-publish with canonical links back to your original posts). Anything to help get more information out to users and to share what we’ve learned!
Awesome given the timing, I’ve just installed Ubuntu Gnome after many years on a windows laptop using RT and I’d started using digikam for the DAM side of things, but found it too flaky on Windows.
If I’m convinced I can go back to a Linux desktop, I’ll format the newer laptop and run there… while I’m surpised that the dual core laptop is still usable, the screen display is a bit hard to get used to after the newer laptop and the nic is only 100mbits, not 1gps… so I’m starting to feel the samba share to the NAS.
Looking forward to reading more about RT… the wavelets article looks good.
Hello, I added a new article to my photo palace about how to custom code our boring reality using the Custom code filter of G’MIC. The result is that with the help of only some simple tools, we can recode our dreary reality and turn it near-instant into a colorful and gay and amusing experience!
Hello, I added some articles to my paulsphotopalace blog about how to watermark your photos using opensource software.
I made four articles. They describe
– how to make a watermark in GIMP and how to place that on a photo
– how to do that in batch using ImageMagick and a terminal
– how to use visual tools to do add a watermark to a single photo (a GIMP plug-in called Copyright placer, and G’MIC’s Quick copyright, plus Digikam), and
– how to make invisible watermarks using a Fourier transform with G’MIC and using steganographic tools like Outguess.

Hello, I updated my blog with an article about how to watermark photos using the wavelet tool in RawTherapee. This functionality is part of a development branch called newwavelet and as such for the moment not available in the official packages of RT. That might change one day.
