pnm - PERLI.NET photo maintenance tools

pnm is a set of scripts (bash, Python and Perl) that makes the life of a website maintainer easier by automating the process of converting, renaming and packaging photos for the web.

Due to special events (daylight savings time, multiple-camera photography) pnm provides additional tools for fixing these errors. A special mode is provided for faking dates (given event start and end dates) in case the EXIF information for photos is missing (assuming a uniform distribution of photos throughout the whole evening).
