HDR on Linux

Qtpfsgui is an awesome software which lets you do some pretty slick HDR tone mapping and editing. It has some pretty useful features which includes anti ghosting effects etc. For people into HDR and interested in a low cost (in this case, free) HDR editor, Qtpfsgui is a perfect option.

Installation:

Search for "Qtpfsgui" in the Ubuntu Software Center and install. Thats it.

Watch online TV

For many of us, living outside the US or the UK, watching online TV is kind of boring. Simply because getting links to TV channels is such a big task without Hulu or iPlayer. Fortunately SopCast Player is a video player which will allow you to watch online/internet TV with absolute ease. The program has an inbuilt list of channels, and even allows you to add extra/custom channels.

As the official site describes it, SopCast Player is designed to be an easy to use Linux GUI front-end for the p2p streaming technology developed by SopCast. SopCast Player features an integrated video player, a channel guide, and bookmarks. Once SopCast Player is installed it simply "just works" with no required configuration.

The download link is here but I suggest that you follow the instructions given on the wiki page (worked perfectly for me).

Here's a screenshot of SopCast:



Give it a try.
