Editing images with Pixeluvo
Pixel Love
Nimble, slick, and user-friendly, Pixeluvo is a capable tool for editing images and photos on Linux. This article can help you to master Pixeluvo's basics.
When it comes to photo retouching and image editing, Gimp is probably the most popular choice among Linux users. After all, it's a mature and powerful application available in the software repositories of many Linux distributions. You can find plenty of Gimp tutorials on the web, and due to the application's popularity, finding answers to your Gimp-related questions is relatively easy. Better still, Gimp is free in every sense of the word.
So, why then would you opt for something like Pixeluvo [1], a closed-source image and photo editing tool that costs money? For a number of reasons, actually. Gimp's interface is an acquired taste with its fair share of shortcomings (e.g., take a look at how the save and export features work). The application is loaded with features, and as such, it's not the easiest tool to master. And in most cases, you won't even need all the functionality Gimp has to offer. In short, if you are looking for an image editing application that offers just the right amount of functionality wrapped into a polished and user-friendly interface, then Pixeluvo is worth the money.
Getting Started with Pixeluvo
