Linux Voice Introduction

Article from Issue 274/2023

This month in Linux Voice.

Sometimes those pictures are perfect and ready to send to family and comrades, but if you have a flair for composition, you might want to touch them up a bit. Crop the image? Fix the glare? The universal image editor GIMP is a leading candidate for fixing photos in Linux. But GIMP can be seriously intimidating for amateurs who just want to do something simple, and anyway, isn't Linux all about choice? Users have lots of other options for editing photos, and one of those options is Krita, a raster graphics editing app that is part of the KDE environment. This month we show you how to edit your digital photos with Krita.
