Automagically cropping pictures

This tutorial and extension could separate about 30% of the pictures with the default settings. Margins (and margins to the sides of the image!) are important.

Installing GIMP .scm plugins

Creating LaTeX photoalbums

This tutorial is freaking awesome.

Given the number of images I was dealing with manually configuring each one was not an option. What I wanted was a service that would, given my image collection, just print me a photo album of approx 6x4 images, in chronological order, two per page, with a caption below each detailing the image file name and the date taken.

It provides a .tex album file and a Python2 file which reads the Exif data and creates a photos.tex which gets included in the main album file.
