Regarding that last photo, is orientation working yet?

By “working” I mean that the camera app detects the camera orientation and sets the appropriate metadata tag to record that information.

If so then it is usually needed to apply the orientation before posting if you are going to strip metadata before posting. (I guess that’s a comment for the OP next year.)

By “apply” I mean that the image is physically rotated into the standard orientation (top left) and then the orientation metadata tag can safely be removed or ignored. (I personally use
mogrify -auto-orient for this, to do many or all images in a batch.)

If orientation is not working yet then of course you just have to rotate the image e.g. using GIMP or Shotwell or whatever you prefer.

Some university buildings - blue and blue and blue and green. Jyväskylä, Finland. Color balance, white balance and exposure corrected (less green),


Path to… somewhere in Suomenlinna (J.R.R. Tolkien got inspiration here), Finland. Color balance, white balance and exposure corrected (less dark).

It makes me sad to see all these otherwise great photos clearly exhibiting artifacts and loss of clarity due to poor image processing caused entirely by software deficiencies. Please put them at least through Glowup, it’s fully automatic and its output, though still not perfect, is much more representative of how the L5 actually sees the world! Since you’re posting JPEGs rather than DNGs others can’t do it themselves afterwards :frowning:

Could you please explain how to do that?

Edit: found explanation here: https://forums.puri.sm/t/glowup-glow-librem-5-photos-up/

With some of mine, glowup was not possible at the time (and [re-]installation is a hassle) and dngs get deleted when there’s no room. Sorry, ease of use and availability won.

What do you all think? Should this be more a #linuxmobile wide - here or some other forum?
Suggestion from PocketVJ aka magdesign: "@matthewcroughan@defenestrate.it @ollieparanoid @…" - Fosstodon (welcome to linux photography btw.)

Nice timing, getting the glowing clouds. Though, the showcase has been for pics from previous year, no worries - just try to save some for next January too :camera:

How does one Like 1 image when some posts have several images per post?

1 Like

Discourse does not support that function as far as I am aware.

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough so:

Joe posts 1 pic of a goat, then Joe posts another pic of a horse

We can like the horse, but not the goat because they are separate posts.

Joan posts a pick of a cow, a cat, the moon, a car, in one post.

We cannot AFAIK, like Joans pic of the cat or car separately. We may only like the whole post (all of Joans pics).

It isn’t a Discourse thing, it’s a people posting thing. We could of course, reply with a copy of Joans cat and say we like that one only. But how would the challenge be counted as a Like, unless there’s no contest any more so no need to Like any of them.

A showcase, not a contest, about linux photography. Like one, none, some or all - it’s up to you.

We can’t like just one pic if the Poster puts all their pics in one post.
But OK, whatever.

Given that it is not a contest, you can send a private message to the poster expressing great admiration for the specific pic that is just the best. :wink:

Yeah - I was already so informed. Expressing great admiration only happens by me if the author of the pic didn’t use image fixers to fix what the camera fails to do well.

Thanks

Reason for edit - to change typo “fic” to “fix

A river running through a canyon in California.

This was taken while in a moving car (I was not driving, of course) so that’s why there is motion blur on the bottom.
