Ubuntu for Digital Photo Editing

I’ve decided to try and dump windows entirely. I’ve been happily using Ubuntu Linux for most of my web developing activities and even have the media computer in the living room running it. With Ubuntu Studio, a distro aimed at media editing, slated for an April release it seems like lots of folks are trying hard to tune Linux for media manipulation. Now may be a good time to make the switch.

The biggest thing I’ve got to deal with right now is getting RAW support working. There is a version of Bibble that has been ported to Linux, but ideally I’d like a open source solution. Then there is the matter of Photoshop. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Gimp so I’ve thought about emulating photoshop under WINE, but there is also a problem with that as I’m running the 64bit version of Ubuntu and will have to compile WINE special like. Maybe I should just learn to love the gimp.

Lots of figuring out ahead - more to follow.

    @bsidechampions a half ass is better than no ass at all. How about putting a prosthetic ass over your real ass to get up to a full ass?

    What should I do with this 8 track of Dark Side of the Moon? I'd keep it but the songs are rearranged so it won't sync with The Wizard of Oz
