Crop, flip, rotate and resize pictures or apply stylish filters to make them pop in an instant. Intuitive gestures make it super easy to edit your images on the fly. Turn photo editing into child's play with Simple Gallery's improved file organizer and photo album.
And with advanced file-support and full customization, finally, your gallery works just the way you want. Browse, manage, crop and edit photos or videos faster than ever, recover accidentally deleted files or create hidden galleries for your most precious images and videos. Ubuntu should ship with a modern image viewer, like Shotwell, to anticipate and cater to those needs.Simple Gallery brings you all the photo viewing and editing features you have been missing on your Android in one stylish easy-to-use app. We all use images way more than we used to. This makes the app look rather out of place on the modern Linux desktop. Shotwell is clinging to its old-style app menu.
Eye of GNOME might be frills-free but it looks like a modern GTK3 app thanks to its header bar. It certainly has a few areas where it’s lacking, as this chart shows: Feature I rarely need to rotate an image, certainly no where near enough to need on-screen controls plastered over every photo I view.Įye of GNOME also lacks a couple of basic image editing features that the Shotwell image viewer natively provides, like image cropping and ratio resizing. Unless there’s been a sudden uptick in the sale of digital cameras from the 1990s, why does rotating deserve omnipresent controls on every image? Now, I’m not advocating that eog transition to a full-fledged photo management app, but I do think that some thought should be given towards modern expectations and needs.įor instance, when I open an image eog I get four on-screen button: prev/next image and rotate left/rotate right:
Do they need to be on screen all the time (like they are in Shotwell)? Probably not.
Having essential editing features available in an image viewer saves me time. I don’t need to load my image in an external app to make edits (then save the image, then open the image in the imagine viewer again to check it’s the edited copy). Shotwell caters to all of that, within the same app, and in the same window. From gifs and selfies, to screenshots and wallpapers.Īnd, like many, I tend to view an image as the first step in a longer chain, usually to check that txhe photo in question is the one I’m looking to share or send or post or whatever else I want to do with it.Īs part of that flow I usually make some basic edits, like cropping and resizing /converting the image to a lossy format. Thanks to smartphones, social networks, and ephemeral messaging services we send and receive more images than ever before.
