A couple of my open source images are being used by Merry Cellars on the labels of their 2004 Merlot and 2004 Cabernet.

Here is a link to a nice articale by Abby Anderson of the University of Idaho’s Argonaut titled Cellar handles wine with care. Here is a link to the original images used by the winery.

This is my first attempt at a panorama on Linux. It is made of 6 original images and the final size was 10233×1344 and a whooping 81meg. I couldn’t have done this without the great tutorial found at http://exolucere.ca These are the highly developed tools I used:

• Ubuntu - current distro 6.06
• Autopano-sift - for orienting images
• Hugin - to do the actual panorama converging
• Enblend - blend the whole thing up in the end
• GIMP - usual post processing (crop, curves and unsharpen)

Enjoy!

Found a new Linux podcast and it is great. A good mix of fun, personal and enterprise information. Their working on episode 4 as of this post. Check it out here.
