Work Flow
From OSP Wiki
Feel free to write up how you do things using Open Source programs. This is just the index page, put a link for your name, a summary underneath and the write up your workflow on your individual page.
- I use Linux as my primary operating system and GIMP as my main editing tool.
- My wife owns a wedding photography business, and I'm the everything-but-photography guy.
- I have written a script that uses Kdialog (can be adapted for Gdialog or Xdialog) to run ufraw-batch on any number of selected RAW files, piping ufraw-batch's output as 16-bit PNG straight into ImageMagick (convert) for unsharp masking and final conversion to JPEG. If required, a thumbnail is generated at the same time. The script is named ufrb-kde and can be found on KDE-apps.org.
- The output of the script is, at times, up to a hundred converted RAW's in JPEG which are fine for general use. If there are a few "special" images I go back to selected files and convert them into PNG with the UFRaw GUI, in order to apply the Manny Librodo script in Gimp. The script can be found here Manny Librodo Script and will give images a lot of zing and pop.
- Settings for UFRaw are taken off a standard *.ufraw file which has contrast set at 1.1 saturation at 1.3 and the high_4 curve (one of the excellent curves of FotoGenetic) as base curve. Sometimes a very light secundaire curveto pick up the midtones. The ufrb-script uses this *.ufraw bestand as template for the batch.
- I use geeqie, ufraw, and gimp (among other things) as workflow
