Part of the series: GIMP.

An overview of this open-source graphics program, with a focus on photographic issues.

If you you take a lot of photos, some of them will show problems. But you don't need to throw them away. With GIMP, you can fix these common problems and restore your photos. In this episode I look at getting rid of fingers in photos, fixing red eyes in photos, and fixing common artefacts caused by a speck of dust or damage to the negative.

Great Tips

These are some of the best low hanging fruit use cases for everyone who is into photography at the "holiday/family snap" level. I count myself among this and picked up several tips in this one.

Processing

I record my shows in Audacity, boost the audio by a few db, and export them as FLAC, which I then upload to HPR. That is the extend of my processing. I believe HPR then transcodes into MP3, OGG, and so on.

Quick access to external photo editing tools from digiKam thumbnail view.

Thanks for sharing your GIMP tips!
I was also happy to hear that you also use digiKam, as I do.

When I do not want to edit with digiKam itself, I can right click on the thumbnail in digiKam to get a menu where there is an option "Open with", where I have GIMP, RawTherapee and more softwares listed.

Furthermore, I have added in the Main tool bar the button "Open with predefined sw", which in my case is RawTherapee.

Remark: I'm not sure I've translated the digiKam terms correctly into English.

Good tip

That's a good tip, Henrik. You can do this with both the Thumbnail and the Preview.
