Subject: INDIA: Digital photography ... and FLOSS tools in March DIGIT
Anyone interested in this subject -- of digital photography?
The March 2003 issue of DIGIT, the computer magazine, has a very useful
208-page book that comes free with this month's publication. It is called 'Fast
Track to Digital Photography'. Some of the subjects it touches on:
* Digital Vs Conventional
* Low-light Photography
* Give Old Images a Makeover
* Adding Special Effects
* Photo Imaging and Editing
* Sharing Your Photos
* Camera phone Phonephotography
Some other useful inputs in this issue, a report on the 'Rainbow' handheld ("it
looks like a PDA, it weighs as much as and feels like one. But functionally, it
is more like a labtop computer and a mobile phone shrunk into the body of a
pocket PC. It has been developed by Indian engineers at iWave Systems
Technologies, an up-and-coming embedded products firm based in Bangalore... The
'Rainbow' handheld mobility platform is one of the first devices in the world
to exploit the power of a new chip.... It is one of the first handhelds to
exploit the Linus OS..")
Is the last statement true?
Here are some useful software from the world of GNU/Linux, on this month's
DIGIT's DVD/CD:
* MPlayer 1.0 pres6a
* MPlayer 1.0 pre6a Source Code
* 15 MPlayer skins
* MPlayer manual
* ProZilla 1.3.3
* ProZilla GUI
* GNUsound 0.6.2
* Blender 2.2.5 (there's a tutorial for this in March CHIP!)
* Yafray 0.0.7-2
* Kino
* mythTV
* mythTV Modules
* Skype 1.0 (for Mandrake 10.1 and FC3)
