Re: Good tool for light photo editing?



You know, I think the Gimp may be a little heavyweight for what the original poster was looking to do.

Learning to use it for a beginner might be intimidating.

Are there any imaging apps that only do the basic stuff like rotation, cropping, and scaling, and are very easy to use? There must be something.

It would also be nice to have something that can work systematically on a whole directory full of images, rather than having to go to the file browser to open and save each one.

I've got much the same problem. I have several Photo CDs and Picture CDs with hundreds of images on them, many of which I'd like to put on my website. To do all the necessary editing by hand with The Gimp seems like such an enormous task that I've put off doing it for about five years now, during which digital photos continue to accumulate.

I know there are several thumbnailers listed at freshmeat but I don't want to have to evaluate them all. Maybe you can recommend one. And a program that did thumbnailing, but was also interactive so I could do simple things like cropping and rotation would be great.
