I've recently bought a film scanner and am planning to put all my photos onto "permanent" media. The scanned images can be quite large; 1.5MB JPEG would not be unexpected with 3900x2600 scans typical. The scanner (Canon FS2710) is not yet fully supported under Linux, but that's only a matter of time. Once scanned, I'd like to assemble the scanned images into a number of "albums", possibly annotating them and providing various resolutions from thumbnail to fully-scanned size. There's no point in scanning all the images and never being able to find the one you want! I imagine that HTML would be suitable for producing albums on CD, for viewing on just about any platform. So what I need is a tool that will allow me to assemble albums interactively, with a rudimentary GUI, to produce a reasonably-portable HTML version of the album. Basically, what I want to do is select a photo from a "palette", place it on an album page, orientate, annotate and select resolutions. The layout doesn't have to be flashy; rectangular images (positioned with TABLE) are sufficient. Several optional (larger and smaller paged) albums on the same content could be generated automatically and fine-tuned by hand. A "contact sheet" of all images (as thumbnails) and a text index could then generated. So far, tcl/tk provides the simplest GUI if I were develop from scratch; but is there freely-distributable Linux/Unix software to do this already? (Web searches come up with too many hits, or none at all; maybe I'm using the wrong keywords!) I've already figured out the layout (directory tree) of files to use, so will be saving the scans accordingly. Ideas? Solutions?
