OK, I have installed that and will have a look at it. Of course, it

Not a problem - I mostly use Awesome yet I have KDE, Gnome and the
development libraries for all of GTK, KDE, QT3, 4 and 5 and god only
knows what else installed on my system. You can mix and match
components on Linux completely independently which is one of the good
things about it.

Don't worry about disk space either - this workstation's boot drive
is a mere 120Gb SSD and even with all of that crap installed, a home
directory full of source repositories and temporary build directories
and pretty much every development library known to man installed I'm
still not even using half of it.

No idea about borders tools in Krita I'm afraid (I don't even know
what they are): I know even less about image editing than I do about
programming, and that's saying something. There appears to be a pretty
comprehensive online manual here:

http://userbase.kde.org/Krita

Hopefully that might help.

Will have a look at that. Also, while looking around I came across a
web site which is set up to for photo editing. It is called pixlr and
it seems quite useful so far. Apparently there is also a similar on
called splashup but I have not looked at that one yet.

My tool of choice for light photo editing is showfoto, in every debian based distro I've ever used. I think it's KDE based as well.

George

you could look at gwenview, which has basic editing - crop, resize, redeye. showphoto should do everything you need and is also integrated with digikam, maybe the best photo library app out there. Both use kipi plugins which are good for quick creation of html photo galleries and exporting to various social media.
