  Dick Miller is going to teach us Fotoxx, a free open source
>   GNU/Linux program for photo editing and collection
>   management. The goal is to meet most user needs while
>   remaining fast and easy to use.
>
> What you will learn:
>
>   -- Index images and create photo collections
>   -- Adjust brightness, color and gamma curves
>   -- Sharpen, blur and reduce noise
>   -- Anti-alias: suppress "jaggies" in low-rez images
>   -- Apply special effects
>   -- Much more!

?Since the room closed early we didn't get to all of that, but as Dick
pointed out, the author Mike has great tutorial videos

(?There has been slight improvements to menus and dialogs since he last
recorded those, but the basics work the same even though rearranged.)
