[gentoo-user] [OT?] Photo organizing, slideshows, and S/VCD/DVD authoring/editing

[Jose Gonzalez Gomez]

Hi there,

I would like to hear what people is using to do the following things,
if this can be done in Linux / Gentoo (I hope so):

1. Photo organizing. This includes downloading photos from a Canon
Powershot G6, organizing it in folders (currently done with camera
software), batch renaming them using EXIF information included in
photos, editing EXIF information (currently done with Exifer:
http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/. Unfortunately this is "cardware"
closed source only for Windows)

2. Minor photo editing, like red eyes correction, composing whole
images from stitchs (currently done with camera software)

3. Creation of slideshows from photographs. I would like to be able to
select some or all of the photographs, maybe add some opening or
closing title, extract headers or footers from EXIF information, edit
transition between photos, add music to the slideshow, adjust the
duration of photos and transition to fit the music, and export a video
in a suitable format to be included in VCD, SVCD or DVD.

4. VCD / SVCD / DVD authoring. If possible I'd like to have a GUI for
doing this, kind of Ulead DVD Workshop, this is, you can add video
files, create menus in a graphical editor, export and burn a project
in different formats (VCD/SVCD/DVD), include the source folder with
the original images in the resulting CD/DVD...

>From what I've found I have the feeling that some of the things may be
done, but others, specially graphical CD/DVD authoring are lacking
some mature tools.

TIA, best regards
Jose
