Tools I use

Here’s the list of tools I use as part of my workflow:

	Digikam is THE tool at the core of my workflow. It’s a complete and very powerful Digital Asset Management solution for Linux.I use it to maintain my collection of images, tag, rank, comment, export the photos and I use it as a launchpad for the other editors.get it at http://www.digikam.org
	UFRaw is a simple and efficient tool to develop your camera’s RAW files. That’s the tool I currently use, either manually or in batch-mode. It doesn’t have all the features one could hope for but it has the advantage of being stable.get it at: http://ufraw.sourceforge.net
	Having used UFRaw for a while, I’ve also faced its limitations compared to what commercial tools can accomplish so I’m slowly transitioning to a more complete tool that is now OpenSource call Rawtherapee.get it at: http://www.rawtherapee.com
	No need to present The Gimp …That’s the tool I use for all my image manipulations … get it at: http://www.gimp.org
	I use Hugin when I need to assemble panoramas …get it at: http://hugin.sourceforge.net
	Pano2VR is a commercial product … Couldn’t find an open source alternative …I use this tool to produce Flash content to display Virtual Reality tours out of 360° x 180° Panoramas. get it at: http://www.gardengnomesoftware.com
