meh

meh (correctly pronounced with indifference) is a small, simple, super fast image viewer using raw XLib. It is similar to feh, but faster and simpler. meh can use ImageMagick's convert executable, if it is installed, to view almost 200 file formats, including SVG and PDF, though it is slower ... [More] for these formats. Built in (fast) formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and netpbm. [Less]

geotagger

Geotagging is a method of adding GPS data to the EXIF header of photographs (found in JPEG and other file formats). Geotagger is a tool to help geotag photos. This can be done manually by locating a spot on a map or automatically by correlating with data from a GPS. Geotagger is written in C# ... [More] and uses Google Maps in an embedded web browser for visualizing the GPS data and photo locations. This tool is meant to do only one thing - Geotag photos. It will not create KML files, it will not create GPX files, it will not resize photos, it will not post photos to web sites. It will just write GPS data into EXIF headers of photographs. This is a work in progress and is not yet complete. Please read the wiki or http://notions.okuda.ca/geotagger/ for updates. [Less]

mexif

Exif Tags management from Jpeg images with C and Java.

cleanjpg

A small simple command line program ( written in c++ ) that will remove unneeded data from inside of jpg files. The program source code along with a windows exe is the svn repository. It should also compile on other systems like linux, unix and macintosh without any changes. Just use the attached ... [More] makefile. I wrote it so that images uploaded to my website are smaller and have all unused data removed from inside them. I have an automated upload system for sending new pictures to my website and before they are uploaded it runs cleanjpg on them first. The program just takes one operand and that is the path ( or folder ) where the jpg images are located. It scans the directory and looks for filenames ending in ".jpg" (or ".JPG). Enjoy, Kevin [Less]

exifacto

Exifacto is designed to offer an intuitive API for reading EXIF data from JPEG and TIFF images. EXIF documentation and notes are included in the API's Intellisense comments so you can explore the API whilst you're coding and see what fields are available and what they do. var exifData = ... [More] new Exifacto.ExifData("C:\myfile.jpg"); Console.WriteLine("Photo taken at: " + exifData .DateTimeOriginal.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("Taken with a " + exifData .CameraModel); // Do we need to rotate this photo to display it properly? int rotationRequired; switch(exifData.Orientation) { case CameraOrientation.Normal: rotationRequired = 0; break; case CameraOrientation.LeftSideOfCameraTowardsSky: rotation = -90; break; case CameraOrientation.LeftSideOfCameraTowardsGround: rotationRequired = 90; break; case CameraOrientation.UpsideDown: rotationRequired = 180; break; } [Less]

imageguide

Most images online which use limited colors or are charts, graphs, or similar should be saved using the PNG format. PNG makes these images not only look much better to the viewer, but it generally makes them smaller and quicker to download as well. Other images, such as photographs taken with a ... [More] camera, are almost always best saved in JPEG format. Unfortunately, most internet users do not know how image compression works and have no idea which format to save any particular image in. ImageGuide helps you figure out which format to save an image in. It is designed to be extremely easy to use and supports all major platforms. ImageGuide saves your image in both formats, using roughly the same amount of disk space, and allows you to see which looks better. If you cannot tell, it gives you the option of recommending a format, and can even save the file for you. While ImageGuide does have the option of saving images, it is usually best to use a dedicated art program such as Adobe Photoshop or The GIMP. These programs generally have more refined image saving features and may be able to make your image smaller and better looking than ImageGuide. ImageGuide should be used primarily for deciding which format to use. Because ImageGuide uses the colors recommended by your computer (the "system palette"), PNG images may not look as good as they could when using a program with smarter color tools. I hope to implement a color chooser (using the Median Cut or similar algorithm) at some future date. [Less]

fondo-windows

Fondo is a simple program that changes the background image on Windows. You can specify the number of minutes each image is shown. The project was written using C++/MFC and Visual Studio 2008. I wrote it to learn how to use ImageMagick and become familiar with VS2008. You can see in this ... [More] program how to: Create a tray-based app Run a background thread in an MFC application Use ImageMagick to convert an image from JPEG to BMP FutureThe initial version simply loads jpegs from a particular directory. I plan to expand it to get images from an RSS feed as well. [Less]

shrinky

Shrinky is a program that lets you easily shrink your picture-files, for example to send them via e-mail or upload them.
