FastPhotoTagger tries to be the fastest way to set the metadata in your photos. Add, change, delete, and search the metadata fields of your choice. FastPhotoTagger excels when you have lots of files and lots of metadata. With FastPhotoTagger, you can - Set multiple images to have the same tags - Set individual images to have unique tags - Display all the metadata in an image - Compare and edit all the metadata in several images - Work with your favorite metadata fields: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, etc. - Define hierarchical keywords - View images and slideshows that display tags as captions - Create and search a metadata database FastPhotoTagger has versions for PC and Android. FastPhotoTagger uses ExifTool to read & write metadata, HyperSQL to manage its database, dcraw to display DNG & RAW, and ImageMagick to display TIFF. WEBP, & HEIC.

asciinema is a free and open source terminal session recorder. It lets you easily record and play back terminal sessions in the terminal or in a web browser. Forget old screen recording methods and resulting blurry videos. asciinema lets you record your terminal sessions the right way, which is right where you work, in the terminal. Recording is as easy as running one command, and since it’s purely text-based you can copy and paste any content you want, simply pause the recording! You can also easily share your recordings on the web, embed an asciicast player in your blog post, project documentation page or in your conference talk slides. See plenty of example sessions recorded with asciinema here: https://asciinema.org/

NOTE: Project migrated to GitHub in Dec 2020! See https://github.com/Enselic/recordmydesktop recordMyDesktop is a program that captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session, producing an ogg-encapsulated theora-vorbis file. recordMyDesktop tries to be as unobstrusive as possible by proccessing only regions of the screen that have changed

FreeMoCap is an open-source markerless motion capture system that enables users to record human movement using ordinary cameras and convert the footage into usable 3D motion data. The project’s goal is to democratize motion capture by removing the need for expensive suits or proprietary studio hardware, instead relying on computer vision and pose estimation pipelines. It processes synchronized video feeds to reconstruct skeletal motion, which can then be exported for animation, biomechanics research, or creative projects. FreeMoCap includes tools for calibration, recording, processing, and visualization, allowing users to move from raw footage to structured motion data within a single ecosystem. Because it is open and extensible, researchers and developers can adapt the pipeline for specialized motion analysis or integrate it into animation workflows.

Linux printing, scanning, and photo-card access on most HP multi-function peripherals.

ZoneMinder is video and cctv surveillance and security application. It supports multiple video or IP cameras and a sophisticated motion detection system based around zones. Both live streams and historic events can be viewed via the web interface.

Automatically geocode pictures from your camera and a GPS track log. Following Google code closure the only official webpage is (doc, support, code) : https://github.com/notfrancois/GPicSync

App Store Screenshots Generator project is an AI-assisted automation tool that generates production-ready App Store screenshots for iOS applications, focusing on marketing-quality visuals rather than raw UI captures. It works by guiding developers through a structured prompt process where they describe their app’s features, branding, and style preferences, and then automatically builds a screenshot generation system using a Next.js-based framework. The tool emphasizes persuasive design, treating screenshots as advertisements with strong copywriting and visual hierarchy rather than simple previews of functionality. It supports multiple device resolutions and exports assets in all required Apple formats, significantly reducing the manual effort typically involved in App Store submission preparation. The system also includes localization capabilities, enabling developers to create region-specific screenshot sets with translated copy and layout adjustments.

xvidcap is a screen capture enabling you to capture videos off your X-Window desktop for illustration or documentation purposes. It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to tools like Lotus ScreenCam.

Scanning albums is not an easy task, since the extraction of actual photographs within scans is usually very tedious. This tool allows you to scan as much as you can fit into your scanner and then semi-automatedly extract the contained photographs. The tool also allows to extract scans of multiple single photographs (i.e. without album) Find a full documentation here: http://dominik-ruess.de/scannerExtract/ Note: The scanning itself is the most time consuming part. Maker sure you optimize that process. (see some hints on the link above.) Hint: **I NEED YOUR DATA**. If you have scans which won't be recognized well give me these (If they're not too personal etc - I won't use it for anything else than to improve this software). You might be interested in my other photography project (organize photographs and videos): https://sourceforge.net/projects/pivot-photo/

HotShots is an application for capturing screens and saving them in a variety of image formats as well as adding annotations and graphical data (arrows, lines, texts, ...).

The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project has moved!

NOTE: We are moving this project to GitHub! Digital photographs are not ideal. Of course, the better is your camera, the better the results will be, but in any case if you look carefully at shots taken even by the most expensive cameras equipped with the most expensive lenses you will see various artifacts. It is very hard to make ideal cameras, because there are a lot of factors that affect the final image quality, and at some point camera and lens designers have to trade one factor for another to achieve the optimal image quality, within the given design restrictions and budget. But we all want ideal shots, don't we? :) So that's what's lensfun is all about - rectifying the defects introduced by your photographic equipment.

CutyCapt is a Qt and WebKit based command-line utility that captures WebKit's rendering of a web page into various bitmap, vector, and other file formats.
