One of my interests is photography. Nowadays, of course, I use my computer for editing. (Yes, I did have a darkroom at home at one time.)I do have gimp and krita installed. However they are very powerful and often OTT for what I want to do.Sometimes I just need to make some simple changes to a photo so that it can be easily sent as an attachment to an email. On these occasions the above programs are unnecessarily complicated.I don't know if anyone on the list is also a photographer, but if so any suggestions for a simple photo editor would be gratefully received.
What changes do you need?For simple scaling/re-sizing of (e.g.) a JPG then mogrify is a command-line tool that makes it relatively easy.
e.g. mogrify -resize 1280x1280 -quality 75 file.jpg (It may be part of the imagemagick package in your chosen distro.)It can do a lot more, but generally whole image at a time operations rather than "photoshop" a small bit.
