KPovmodeler
KPovmodeler is a POV-Ray front-end that integrates with the KDE desktop.
KPovmodeler saves users from needing a detailed knowledge of POV-Ray scripting
by translating the POV-Ray language in an easy-to-understand tree view. Native
POV-Ray scripts can be imported to KPovmodeler as well. Find more information
at http://www.kpovmodeler.org.
Krita
Krita is KOffice's answer to Adobe Photoshop and The GIMP. It can be used for
pixel-based image creation and editing. Its features include many of the advanced
image editing capabilities you would normally expect with Adobe Photoshop or
The GIMP. Find more information at http://www.koffice.org/krita.

POV-Ray
The Persistence of Vision Raytracer creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic im-
ages using a rendering technique called ray tracing. Because there is a Windows
version of POV-Ray, it does not take much for Windows users to switch to the
Linux version of this application. Find more information about POV-Ray at
http://www.povray.org/.
The GIMP
The GIMP is the open source alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Its feature list rivals
that of Photoshop, so it is well suited for professional image manipulation. There
is even a Windows version of GIMP available. Find more information at
www.gimp.org/. You can also refer to our GIMP chapter.
VueScan
VueScan is a scanning software available for several platforms. You can install it
parallel to your vendor's scanner software. It supports the scanner's special hardware,
like batch scanning, autofocus, infrared channels for dust and scratch suppression,
and multiscan to reduce scanner noise in the dark areas of slides. It features simple
and accurate color correction from color negatives. Find out more at
