Dick and Jill, Great presentation on Fotoxx and how it fits the FOSS story arc at MMS. Had I realized the first third would be a trip down memory lane, I'd have brought my big MMSForth binder ! FORTH <3 IF HONK THEN I keep thinking we should hack a FORTH kernel into the open firmware for Canon cameras. I am going to have to read the FOTOXX PDF manual to make sure the Fotoxx collection management won't get in my way; I missed what you said about synchronize. Functionally it looks very good. RAW - Per the main web page, it appears Fotoxx currently needs RAW or DNG files to be converted to TIF first, so it's not yet providing a one-stop workflow for RAW. Among 'keep the info' workflows, shooting and working 12 RAW keeps the most; HDR , other stacking, and curve shifting all are best with RAW. There are a couple of ok tools for Linux, mostly using one library 'dcraw'; i have RAW THERAPEE and UF RAW. Pros always shoot Raw, but I'm still only sometimes popping a button to keep RAW file with the JPG on the next shot. Fotoxx might encourage me to stick with that practice. But a photoshop plugin might provide direct import capability to fotoxx. UF RAW works as a GIMP plugin as well as stand-alone, but that doesn't make it a Fotoxx plugin, does it? To repeat my suggested name, de-skewing is what n900 maemo (debian) phone app FrontView calls rect-ifying a detected trapezoid.
