Digital cameras typically come with software for MS Windows. But you can connect your digital camera to Linux as well. Robert Bernier at linuxdevcenter.com has some useful tips on Linux software for connecting to your camera and transferring and processing images:
- libgphoto2 provides the basic interfaces to digital cameras
- ImageMagick is a graphics utilities package that allows you to convert images/photos from one format to another, resize them, etc.
- With fbi, you can view images using the frame buffer device (requires the kernel to have frame buffer support enabled)
- You can use the command-line tool gphoto2 for downloading and uploading images to your camera
- digiKam is an easy to use digital photo management application for the KDE platform.
