Free Software for Photographers Part 2: Fotoxx

Do you take photos? Do you ever need to enhance your photos? What about organize them? If you answered "yes" to any of these, join us for part 2 of our series on Free Software for Photographers.

Dick Miller is going to teach us Fotoxx, a free open source GNU/Linux program for photo editing and collection management. The goal is to meet most user needs while remaining fast and easy to use.

What you will learn:

• Index images and create photo collections

• Adjust brightness, color and gamma curves

• Sharpen, blur and reduce noise

• Anti-alias: suppress "jaggies" in low-rez images

• Apply special effects

• Much more!

Bring your questions, your laptop, and even your photos if you'd like!
