IMAGING & PHOTO POSTPROCESSING

    Some of us will use the computer for postprocessing their photo 
    collections and print it out. Your favourite photos like holiday memories, 
    familly meetings or (the most important one) gifts for your girl-friend ...
    The OpenSource movement offers here their own solutions too. The GIMP is 
    probably the most known keyword, but there are others too.
    
    gimp		- The GNU Image Manipulation Program.
			  GIMP understands a lot of graphic formats and can 
			  convert between them. It has all needed brushes and 
			  functions. You can even extend it by your own ones
			  using the script-fu. The power of GIMP is often 
			  compared to Adobe's Photoshop(tm).
    imagemagick		- ImageMagick is a very mighty commandline driven tool
			  for processing, manipulating and converting over 68
			  major graphic formats.
    netpbm		- another very mighty and important collection of over
			  220 tools for converting between different image
			  and graphic formats.
    xv			- a good-known image viewer with commercial background
    xzgv		- X version of a good and free image viewer
    eog			- Eye Of GNOME, image viewer of the GNOME project
    ee			- Electric Eyes, another image viewer
    sodipodi		- vector drawing program of the GNOME project
    scigraphica		- a free application for scientific graphics
    dia			- diagram drawing tool 
    sane/xsane		- sane is a driver and engine for scanning under linux.
