application like iPhoto on Debian GNU/Linux Etch?
 

Hi,

is there an application on the Debian GNU/Linux Etch like iPhoto on
the Mac OS X operating system?

With it one can to import some rendered images and make a movie with
the File / Export command.

I spent a half hour today looking at Picasa for Linux. I prefer it to
iPhoto and am intending to install it on my daughter's Mac. I already
know that it plays much more nicely with non-Mac systems than iPhoto.

It also appears to have algorithms whose CPU usage don't scale with
the cube of the picture library size. IOW, its not really like iPhoto,
it lacks some of the klunkiness.

Picasa is a Google freebie. Free as in beer, not as in speech.

You can also look at digikam, kphotoalbum and f-spot. I use f-spot a
lot and it is improving with every new version. Digikam and
kphotoalbum has some other advantages.

You can also look at qdvdauthor to create movies from a selection of
images.

My special problem is a family in which there are people with Mac( and
iPhoto), and Windows, and me (with Debian). I want something that
works reasonably well on all three. And for which moving picture files
among the three is trivial. For this, iPhoto is not an answer. Digikam
is a candidate, but it is not Mac compatible, SFAIK. But all these
practical restrictions are subject to future developments, so none of
these opinions are likely to stand the test of time.

Also one family member has only 56kB modem access to the internet, so
picture sharing on the internet is not an option (for me).

I am using a Macbook also. My main repository of photo's is on a
Linux PC. The recent Picasa runs well on both operating systems and
can be some sort of compromise. In my view Picasa is better than
iPhoto. I have made trivial 'moving slideshows' with Picasa also.
If you don't like Picasa's way of doing this, it is easy to export the
photo's you want to use and build a slidehow on the Mac with the mac
tools.

Johann

I missed the earlier posts in this thread, so excuse my ignorance. Are
you aiming to share one photo repository between thee machines? In that
case Picasa would really be your only option. Mixing DAM applications
on the same data is really only going to cause trouble.

I second that. I prefer F-Spot on my Linux machines, though.

web based works really well for me (~20K photo's)
