Managing Your Digital Image
Collection
F-Spot is a management tool for your collection of digital
images tailored for the GNOME desktop. It allows you to
assign different tags to your images in order to categorize
them and offers various image editing options. For example,
you can remove red-eye, crop, and adjust brightness and
colors. F-Spot supports sixteen common file types, including
JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and RAW.
You can import photos from your hard drive, your digital
camera, or your iPod. You can also use F-Spot to create
photo CDs, generate a Web site gallery, or export your
photos to your Flickr, 23, Picasa Web, or SmugMug account.
To access F-Spot, click Computer → F-Spot Photo Browser.
The first time you run F-Spot, you must tell it where to find
the images you want to import into your collection. If you
already have a collection of images stored on your hard
drive, enter the path to the respective directory and option-
ally include subfolders. F-Spot imports these images into
its database.
Thumbnails of your images are displayed in the right part
of the window, and detailed information for a selected im-
age is displayed in a sidebar to the left. By default, your
photos are displayed in reverse-chronological order, so your
newest photos are always at the top. You can sort your
photos in chronological order or reverse-alphabetical order
by clicking View → Reverse Order.
A menu bar at the top of the window allows you to access
the main menus. A toolbar below offers several different
functions depicted by a matching icon.
