Summary
Do you take photos? Do you ever need to enhance your photos?
What about organize them? If you answered "yes" to any of
these, join us for part 2 of our series on Free Software for
Photographers.
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!
Bring your questions, your laptop, and even your photos if
you'd like!
Transportation & Parking
The Akamai office is a short walk from the Kendall Square T
stop and other public transportation.
Metered parking is normally available near our location.
