This is my humble photo editing/management suite presently.

GIMP with FX Foundry - for editing JPEGs and making several enhancements and adding effects to images.
RawTherapee - for handling camera RAW files directly and exporting the result losslessly to JPEG.
Shotwell - A good photo organizer for the desktop.

That's about it. I am also considering Luminance HDR if and when I choose to get into HDR photography.

Hari,

have you tried digiKam? If so, what did you think of it?

I've a mix of files on my system, including film scans. My primary camera right now is the Olympus OM-D EM-5, which I shoot in RAW + JPEG mode. My wife shoots a Canon P&S.

I'm new to your blog and enjoy it quite a bit. Thank you.

Daryl, yes, I've used Digikam before. It's a good photo organizer, probably the best on Linux. I am also a photography enthusiast, and have recently got a Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i). Thing is, since I use Gnome these days, I've not used Digikam recently. But in my opinion it is one of the best photo organizers in Linux.
