For those that use Flckr, it’s always easiest when you have a simple tool that allows quick and painless file uploading. Although logging onto the web site and using the built-in Flickr uploader isn’t difficult, when you have a number of images, or when you upload frequently, this can be a real hassle. So having a stand-alone tool for this purpose is always nice. There are plenty of these tools for the Windows desktop. But what about Linux? You bet there are. There are Flickr uploaders for KDE for GNOME and everything in between.

Converting to black and white can be a saving grace for concert shots and other photos, but you can get better, crisper results by veering off the default options. Photoshop tinkerer Helen Bradley explains which sliders to pull on.

Windows program for exploring fractals including: Mandelbrot, Julia, Convergent, Newton, Orbit Traps, Sierpinski Triangle, IFS, Strange Attractors, Rep-N Tiles, Symmetric Icons, Apollonian Gasket, Circle Inversion, Schottky Group, Kleinian Group, L-System and many more. Hundreds of built-in equations, transformations, orbit traps, and color controllers, allow the casual user to produce stunning fractal images while providing the experienced fractal developer a rich set of illustrative examples on which to build his/her own programs.

I’ve started a new blog to show off some of my fractal pictures which I have had online for a while. The old HTML based page wasn’t going anywhere these days so I’ve been posting them to http://alsfractals.blogspot.com/
Here’s a slide show of some of the images going online soon
The program that I used to create most of the images here. Good range of fractal types, examples, options. Its fast too. Just download it. DOS version runs well under Windows 95.
Calibrate your monitors for consistent tone and color with web site Screen Check. The site displays two bars, one white-to-black for adjusting tone and the other covers the red/green/blue spectrum for adjusting color. Just follow the Screen Check instructions and by the end you should have a reasonably well calibrated monitor. My Dell comes with a very similar built-in calibration tool, but if your monitor doesn't, Screen Check is worth a look.

Is 10 or 12 megapixels just not enough for you? Looking for something with a little more resolution? How about 160MP? That’s what the new Seitz D3 6 x 17 is packing. The 4.5 lb camera takes 60 x 170 mm images with 7,500 x 21,250 pixel resolution. An uncompressed file is just under a gig in size and the thing is so nasty that it functions through a little tablet PC attached to the back. Pretty sweet. I’m thinking this is probably the logical step up from the 1MP HP digital camera I’ve been rocking for nine years now. Unfortunately the $44,414 pricetag made me throw up and soil my pants at the same time.Seitz 160-Megapixel Camera Is An Arm Full [gearfuse] Product Page (with full specs) Thanks to Lincoln, who is very photogenic because he’s so handsome, for the tip

Namexif™ is a tool to automatically rename photos with the date they were shot. Digital cameras have their own clock and record the date to each photos with a precision of a second. Since the date and time is recorded for each photos (provided it is an EXIF compliant digital camera), Namexif™ is able to rename these photos according to the date. # Doing so will: make chronological order same as alphabetical one, # set a unique name to your photos http://www.digicamsoft.com/softnamexif.html

I thought this was pretty neat - a site which allows you to stitch photos together into a panorama online, and also hosts them there for your guests to view. The flash viewer has a pretty neat feature - it allows for clickable hotspots, which will take you to a new panorama.

As great as it is, there are times when Photoshop is just plain overkill.
Maybe you simply need to nuke some red-eye before emailing a photo, or fix the exposure on a snap you’ve already put on Flickr. Picnik to the rescue!
Crop, rotate, resize, one-click fix, color adjustments, sharpening, saturation, even histograms. 95% of the stuff you’d do in Photoshop, you can do in Picnik more easily. Grab photos straight from your Flickr (and replace them with edited versions), from your computer, or the web; send your edited photos to your blog, to email, photo sharing sites, make a nifty slideshow, or even have them printed.
Picnik is fast. Better, it’s easy peasy, free, and filled with friendly features. (Example: Unlimited undo. Even for photos you edited months ago. Not even Photoshop can do that.)

The Doomsday Engine - An updated engine for all those id games. Looks great, works wonderfully…I myself play in 1680X1050. All you need are the original source files from the games.
