 Photographer profiles her use of Ubuntu along with showcasing part of her
 portfolio.  Nice way to spread the linux love!

I found this site very useful. It appears that though we ship the same
display calibration SW that he uses, it does not show up in the menu. It
does not seem to have a *desktop file. From the above link it appears that
the GUI opens on it's own when an appropriate device is connected to the
system. I was unable to find any other packages that do this. There are
two packages that take the info from above and set the display (xcalib and
xicc), but it appears what we have does that already.

As such, I will mark the following items (which all seem to be the same
thing) in the blueprint as done unless someone can point me to other SW
(in our repo) that does the same thing better:

[ubuntustudio-dev] - color - consider replacing argyl with another
application (ttoine wanted this): TODO
[ubuntustudio-dev] - color - explore what vanilla ubuntu is using because
gui is nice (ttoine again): TODO
[ubuntustudio-dev] - color - gui would be nice for users (ttoine again): TODO

I would also like to see us use his workflow as a good example in docs or
make our own similar but with tools we ship. It seems to be well laid out
and is done from the view of someone who has used win/mac tools in the
standard industry workflow.

The blue print item:
[ubuntustudio-dev] - color - explore making a package for adobe icc (yep,
i guessed it...ttoine): TODO

Is sort of related. I would suggest not. The reasoning is that we do not
ship (we being ubuntu overall) the adobe pdf viewer even though it is free
and has more functionality. (I had to download the adobe version to use
some of our government forms that have fill in blanks) We do already ship
a set of icc profiles that ubuntu does support. The second point is that
someone serious would create there own profile anyway for their own
monitor using the tools above with a colorimeter.

If I have no comments I will also move this item to done.

Re: colour selection app

 Currently there are two color management systems shipped with the
 graphics package, argyll and gnome-color-management.  Neither of these are
 color pickers.

 My go-to color picker is gcolor2 and would highly recommend this one to be
 picked for such a task.
 I also see that Agave is no longer shipped with the graphics package
 (silly
 IMHO, but I mean no offense) this could also be a realistic option.  I'm
 not sure which would be a better selection between Agave and gcolor2 (it
 depends on your task).

Revisting this, Agave seems to have the function that gcolor2 has plus
more and there for recommend using this for our color chooser.

 Photographer profiles her use of Ubuntu along with showcasing part of her
 portfolio.  Nice way to spread the linux love!

Another question and need for comments.
I also notice that Riley uses Rapid Photo Downloader. This is interesting
in that he has at least two other applications that seem to preform the
same task. This probably means that this app does the job he uses it for
much better than those other apps. In our case Dark table seems to be able
to do the same thing, but I noticed when I tried to use DT for importing
photos it seems to take a long time... without doing any of the things RPD
does.

Should we be adding Rapid Photo Downloader to our workflow? (exists in
ubunt repos) This will add 7.6 M to the user's disk. On the live iso I
believe it would be compressed. The compressed package and deps is just
under 2Meg.

Comments?

A few questions then a comment.

Are you using RAW files to import? Can you try with Rapid Photo Download
and see if it is faster?

Can DarkTable also rename the imported files?

I don't mind the extra space (although that is quite a bit I guess) if it
performs better and I believe it is quite common for a dedicated
application for the ingestion of media in a professional environment.
