| 06:07 pm [Link] |     What alternatives to the Gimp are there out there which I could consider using? (I.e., free.) The Gimp is too heavy and too badly organized. (Although, I beleive, it's quite powerful.) What I want is simple editing (selecting, cropping, perhaps, playing with colors, superimposing of text, what else?..) and opening/storing all possible reasonable formats. As I looked at http://sisyphus.ru/packages/Graphic ImageMagick GraphicsMagick -- I have some idea of these two (although not sure about the convenience of editing), so I'll test them last (because I want to learn smth new). cinepaint -- No, it's just a Gimp for films; I initially selected it because of imprecise summary. fim -- N/A in the ALT 4.1 branch. fotoxx -- N/A in 4.1, but fotox is available. Fine, it fits my purposes, I'm satisfied with it! skencil -- Probably no, because it's probably vector. tgif -- No, it's for drawing and is not for JPEGs. tint -- No, it does smth different. tuxpaint! -- I've heard this name, I should try this simplistic (I assume) thing first! -- No, not convenient for JPEGs, http://lj.rossia.org/users/imz/2269.htm xpaint -- must be even more simplistic! But I doubt it can treat all the different image formats. -- No, bad, http://lj.rossia.org/users/imz/1909.htm (Some other interesting programs I saw while reading the list: imgdiff perceptualdiff .) (Yes, it's obvious, the "Graphics" group of packages in ALTLinux should be split into several more specialized ones. Now it's impossible to find something useful in the list. At least, there should be the subgroups: Graphics/Raster editors, Graphics/Vector editors, Graphics/Viewers, Graphics/Collections of images (design, wallpapers and other collections). -- https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_ Upd. Funny! The old good gthumb is good enough fo my purposes (I was able to crop a photo in it). |
