Ubunbest photo app on tulinux

After the reason why I switched to Linux last time, a reader suggested that I write some content about Linux alternatives for popular Windows applications. After all, this is the most common concern for Windows users who want to switch to Linux. In this article, I listed photo-related applications that can be used for various purposes and tried to respond to common concerns. Applications in this list are not a substitute for Windows programs, but a collection of Image Applications in Linux that can be used for multiple purposes. L

After the reason why I switched to Linux last time, a reader suggested that I write some content about Linux alternatives for popular Windows applications. After all, this is the most common concern for Windows users who want to switch to Linux.

In this article, I listed photo-related applications that can be used for various purposes and tried to respond to common concerns. Applications in this list are not a substitute for Windows programs, but a collection of Image Applications in Linux that can be used for multiple purposes.

Image editing application in Linux

When I mention image editing, I refer to photo editing in a hardcore professional style. In other words, I am discussing Photoshop. For Adobe Photoshop's Linux replacement, there is only one name in my mind, that is, GIMP. GIMP is a cross-platform, full-featured, professional-level editing software that covers almost all of Photoshop's functions. Unlike Photoshop, GIMP is free for all platforms, such as Linux, Windows, and OS X.

You can install GIMP for Ubuntu from the Ubuntu Software Center.

If you are addicted to Photoshop and it is difficult to adjust the GIMP appearance and shortcut keys, I recommend you use Gimpshop. It is a GIMP-based, Photoshop-style application, and of course it is free of charge.

Photo management application in Linux

Here I am talking about the application for processing image warehouses. You can view images, Import images from cameras and mobile phones, edit images, share images, and so on. In Windows, we have a Windows photo viewer. In Linux, Shotwell is the most popular photo management tool. It is also a default built-in application in various Linux releases, of course, Ubuntu is also such a built-in. Unlike GIMP, Shotwell is a lightweight application, but it also provides some basic editing functions.

A good alternative to Shotwell is gThumb.

Applications for processing native camera images in Linux

Due to the decrease in the price of digital SLR cameras, the number of (amateur) Photographers also increases in proportion. Because many digital SLR cameras use native formats to store images, default image viewers such as Shotwell cannot process these images, and therefore applications such as digiKam have emerged. As an open-source software, digiKam allows you to process high-end camera images in a professional way. You can use digiKam to view, manage, edit, enhance, and organize images. images can be marked or shared.

Another alternative to digiKam is GTKRawGallery, which also focuses on the processing of camera images.

Graph application in Linux

If you are looking for a Linux alternative for Microsoft plotting, select Paint. You can use this software to make edits like text annotations and circles. You can use pencils, paint brushes, and spray guns to draw pictures. In Ubuntu, you can install the software from the Ubuntu Software Center.

Another alternative to Pinta is Krita, which is more powerful and provides more functions. It is better than drawing, but it is worse than GIMP.

Apps like Instagram in Linux

Finally, let's discuss the beautification. On mobile devices, we have a lot of retro images, but not on the desktop platform. To apply the same effect as Instagram in Linux, I only know XnRetro, which can be cleverly processed. We recommend that you read this article on how to use XnRetro in Ubuntu for more information.

The above section only lists the various image application software available in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, but this is not a complete list of such applications. In fact, there are a lot of similar software. I just listed the best of the categories.

What do you think? Do you also use other applications to complete specific tasks? Can you share your views with us?
