gPhoto is a set of software applications and libraries for use in digital photography. gPhoto supports not just retrieving of images from camera devices, but also upload and remote controlled configuration and capture, depending on whether the camera supports those features.

Released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, gPhoto is free software.

Support

GPhoto supports more than 900 cameras as of August 2007. [ [http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php gPhoto - Projects :: libgphoto2 :: supported cameras ] ] It is cross-platform, running under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and other Unix-like operating systems.

gPhoto has support for the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and will also connect to devices that use the Media Transfer Protocol. Many cameras are not supported by gPhoto, but have support for the USB mass storage device class, which is well-supported under Linux.

Applications

gPhoto provides a library, libgphoto2, to allow for other frontends to be written for it, and a command line interface. gtkam is the official GUI client for gPhoto, other clients are the KDE program digiKam, the GNOME program gThumb and the Mono based F-Spot.
