Image Manipulation

In next month’s great issue we will cover

digital image manipulation as the cover

feature. Breaking out from the

usual server functionality, we

take a look at the Linux

graphic program scene.

These days digital

cameras are compara-

tively cheap and have

sophisticated features

with improving qual-

ity. The ability to use

graphics on a web page

has become a must.

Rather than just hope that

your pictures are suitable

for all your needs, we exam-

ine how to get the best from

your images.

We take a look at the new

front-ends for camera

software and

see how easy

it is to con-

nect these

digital de-

vices.

Whether

it is for opti-

mizing for your printer so you can create

prints to share with close friends or for

publishing for the world

to view on a website

without causing

too many down-

load problems.

We then show

you the hidden

secrets in The

GIMP program, that

separate the profes-

sional artists from

those who just play.

The hints and tricks

mean that you are only

limited by your imagina-

tion and not the software.

We examine the hidden

information contained in

a JPEG File Interchange

Format image that

many devices such as

digital cameras

embed and

how it can

be used to

our advan-

tage.

VPNs with Tinc

In our Know-How section we show you

the new Tinc daemon. Tinc is a Virtual

Private Network (VPN) daemon that

uses tunnelling and encryption to create

a secure private network between hosts

on the Internet.

Because the VPN appears to the IP

level network code as a normal network

device, there is no need to adapt any

existing software. This allows VPN sites

to share information with each other

over the Internet without exposing any

information to others.

Ion window manager

Present-day graphical user interfaces are

far less usable than they are praised to

be. Most command line and other text

mode programs are simply much more

usable once you get used to them, but

are limited in their output capabilities.

We take a look at the Ion window

manager that addresses the navigation

problem by having the screen divided

into frames that take up the whole

screen and never overlap. This unique

window manager is a different solution

to solve a common problem.
