About hdrview

A simple research-oriented image viewer with an emphasis on examining and comparing high-dynamic range (HDR) images.

What's new in 3.0.2

HDRView 3.0.2 is functionally identical to 3.0.0; it only improves the Linux AppImage.

  • The AppImage now embeds update information, and each release publishes a .zsync file next to it, so AppImageUpdate and similar tools can update it in place.
  • The Linux desktop and AppStream files are now named after HDRView's app ID, io.github.wkjarosz.hdrview.

Inkscape

Inkscape 1.4.4

Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand, or Xara X. What sets Inkscape apart is its use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format. In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. A rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level. Contrast that to bitmap (raster) graphics which is always bound to a specific resolution and stores an image as a grid of pixels. Inkscape can import and display bitmap images, too. An imported bitmap becomes yet another object in your vector graphics, and you can do with it everything you can do to other kinds of objects (move, transform, clip, etc.) While Inkscape does not have all the features of the leading vector editors, the latest versions provide for a large portion of basic vector graphics editing capabilities. People report successfully using Inkscape in a lot of very different projects (web graphics, technical diagrams, icons, creative art, logos, maps).
