After watching the uds video on applications, Here are my general findings as a novice user of both tools for photo editing.
Gthumb runs faster than fspot by about 10 second on one folder holding about 69 photos. >From what I can see both apps grab the same info from the camera however I prefer the way that gthumb displays this. Captions can be added to photos in both gthumb and f-spot Gthumb and fspot both have similar tool set for editing: Redeye removal: is more intuitive in gthumb but gives an overall more natural look in f-spot Auto enhance: gthumb leaves f-spot in the dust. although gthumb takes longer to complete the image is far clearer and all colours are enhanced nicely. Crop: The gthumb give you a nice windowed tool for this which I think makes you feel as a novice like your not ballsing up your real photo. However both apps do this with relevant ease. resize: I think f-spot and gthumb both do this with the same level of ease although in both cases I think it would be better to display % rather than pixels how as a general user would I know how many pixels to reduce a photo by, however I can see if it needs to be about 10% smaller. Gthumb is let down by uploads to web photo albums like picasa flickr etc I think if this could be added then gthumb would be a better app over all, neither tool can upload to gallery2 which is pretty mich the de-facto self build web/photo server which I think is a massive oversight. On the whole you could replace f-spot with gthumb and most users simply wouldn't notice, f-spot does organising no better or worse now, it's only 2 big advantages I see are uploading to online galleries and timeline view.
