I know this is asking a little much, but is there an alternative to picasa I could use for Gentoo? The main functionality I really want is the simple one-click enhancements to images like repairing the brightness and contrast and removing red eye. Something to touch up photos without having to know how to touch up photos...
Got any suggestions? |

That would be really nice, because Picasa is a great little program. _________________ I <3 forums.gentoo.org |

i don't understand why gqview and other graphicbrowser don't catch ideas from picasa
the new version picasa2 rocks hard..
everything looks so nice and the usability is sooooo great |

After reading some of the Slashdot comments, I saw a lot of suggestions for gPhoto. I've never used it, but thats what a lot of comments suggested.
Others also mentioned going to Picasa's forums, which has a topic for Linux. I heard if enough people post in the forum, or leave feedback on the website, consideration might be made to port Picasa to Linux.
And another Slashdot comment says Picasa works great in vanilla wine. |

I tried Picasa out at work today and it seemed pretty cool. I installed it with the current portage version of Wine (20050111, I think) and it works surprisingly well.
The only problem is fonts. The navigation pane and tooltips are unreadable. I don't know if this is a problem with Wine or a problem with me not having the proper font installed. Everything else looks OK though.
No crashes, and all of the editing stuff seems to work just fine. I haven't tried printing, or any of the network stuff with Hello or Blogger, so I can't really speak to that.
I'll stick with gthumb, but I think that PIcasa does a lot of cool things that [gthumb|gqview|viewimg|gwenview] devs should take a look at. |

i'm having the same problem with fonts. I'm using crossover office 4.1. I have all the available fonts installed that they offer. Hopefully all I need is another font. |

I found a patch for wine that makes picasa work right, heres how to install it. I did it with wine version 20050211
You'll need:
Wine Source - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77449
The Patch - http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2005/01/att-0455/01-font.patch
I did all this in my /root folder.
Code: |
#Untar the archive
tar -zxvf Wine-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz
#Copy the patch file into the folder
cp 01-font.patch wine-xxxxxxxxxx
#Apply the Patch
cd wine-xxxxxxxxx
cat 01-font.patch | patch -p0
#Install wine
cd ..
./configure
make && make clean
make install
|
I then deleted my whole .wine directory (probably optional), and installed Picaso. Works like a charm.

Thats great news, but I can't compile wine because I have a 64bit system. Does anyone have a package of wine with this patch that they would be willing to share? I may have to install a 32bit linux to compile if no one can help me out. |

try gwenview or kimdaba. Make sure you enalbe the kipi plugins as it add lots of useful functions to the applications.
See bug #84149 on how to enable kipi-plugins for gwenview. |

I like to use oss whenever possible, but these don't compare to picasa. Linux doesn't have anything native that comes close to it. |

I've heard that f-spot comes close to it... But there's nothing in portage for it yet, and I'm having trouble getting it to configure. It's dependant on mono, and complains that I do not have something it needs (and I have mono emerged). _________________ Nothing to see here. Move along. |

wine-20050628 just posted, but didn't fix the font issue in picasa2. I was kindof waiting for the next version thinking this would be addressed... hrm. lacking portage skills and motivation, perhaps I'll fall back to grabbing it from winehq. |

Digikam - v0.8
Has one click redeye correction, and one click image fixing like colour/exposure etc.
Great tagging capability, and in-application camera access.
It is verrrrry good, and just won an award for something.

I've tried picasa about 6 months ago and it worked but I didn't liked. I like digikam more, it's easier to use (maybe bacause I'm used to it). It automatically gets pictures from my camera, rotates them if necessary and it's very easy to check the exif tags. I liked picasa's slideshow because the image transitions were very nice and you could select a mp3 to play in the background. Now I use gliv for the slideshows but it doesn't have the music in the background I have to start amarok for that.
If you have problems with ie you can get a script from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/
It automatically gets all the necesarry things to get ie working and you can install ie 5,5.5 and 6 at the same time. It's very useful if you are a webdev. and you have to check how the pages look in different browsers. I guess that's probably the only reason why you would want to run ie on linux... |

No more having to wait for an application just like picasa, or trying to get it to work in wine - it's now released for linux ( http://picasa.google.com/linux/ )!
Enjoy!

Turns out I was half right - the linux app released by google uses wine....
Sorry,

This is a quote from WineHQ though:
"The final product ships with a self-contained version of Wine and includes important features such as camera access using gPhoto." |
