Probably not.  gphoto looks for cameras and their IDs on the USB and
serial ports.  You could override that with the "--usbid" option and
give it your SD card reader's USB ID and a translation for an
appropriate camera.

Remember, gphoto primarily downloads the data.  Other tools are used to
manipulate the image (e.g. gtkam, the Gimp, EOG, whatever).
