Image processing with ImageMagick, qiv and friends
The linux desktop with the wide choice of Window managers and the ample supply of eye candy is a constant source of envy for Windoze users.
Without images and colors, the linux desktop would not be of much interest to Windows people.
And websites like flickr.com give us too many high quality photographs in the public domain. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were possible to somehow process these images to make our own image collections?
As always linux does not disappoint. The plethora of powerful command line tools like xloadimage, xli, qiv, xv, ImageMagick open up a world full of possibilities.
ImageMagick is a suite of command line tools like montage, convert, display and so on. Many of these tools can help you display images in various ways, on the root window , tile them, stretch them, rotate them and so on.
