If looking for a freebie, it's either Gimp or CS2 which has been liberated by Adobe.

Not perfect but much better than trying to tighten a bolt with scissors. If you are stuck with Linux, use Photoshop CS6 under Wine.

Simple image adjustments like color balance, curves, levels, brightness and contrast are hard to apply and you have to go fishing for them under unintuitive sub-menus. However, for photography edition it would be a last resource.

Krita is great software for digital painting or sketching and it really excels at it. I didn't realize PT Lens is available for Linux. I put the panel (taskbar) on the right side. I should probably get involved in the Brasero project to add 'creation date' option.ĭo you mind posting a snapshot of your desktop?Ĭertainly. A similar thing happened with K3b, although in that case the functionality is worthwhile. Now I use geeqie instead, which is lighter weight and just as good. Several years ago I installed gwenview, which dragged in a bunch of Qt libraries that took the better part of an hour to download.

Windows 10 is horrible in comparison - it took my wife days to install software and customize the desktop.Īs for cross install, it makes the system bigger and less efficient. I don't enjoy customizing, and I have many machines, so I prefer a system like Linux Mint where almost everything is immediately OK. I'm not sure whether you're asking about time wasted customizing, or about KDE to Gnome cross install. Mind you, you can run KDE applications on a Gnome Desktop and vice-versa so the apps that go with the base system should probably not influence your choice too much - you can always use your package management system to install more with the click of a mouse button. For me, the choice between desktops is more of a functionality issue. I don't really understand what you mean as it is all customization to the point of being silly. So I installed the KDE burner, K3b.ĭo you mind posting a snapshot of your desktop? I'm curious how you have it customized.

I always archive to DVD and it's a pain not to see the original date. One thing I hate about Ubuntu-Mint Brasero (maybe going back to Gnome) is its inability to preserve the creation date of camera JPEG and MOV files when burned to optical disc. I didn't like the gray color of active and inactive windows, but did not spend time trying to colorize. Having the panel on the right side (vertical) works well, unlike Mint Cinnamon 18.1 where it's a too-new feature. In Kubuntu 16.04 I don't like KDE's garish purple red yellow green) default background, but that should be easy enough to change. You can even change the window widgets of any GTK app to match the KDE theme selected. The newer Plasma desktop is really snappy although I did have to get used to it. KDE has a consistent look 'n feel and excellent configuration options. I've always been a KDE type of person although I do have LXDE as a backup and when resources are scarce but I've never been happy with Gnome in any of its incarnations. Runs just fine under KDE even though it is a GTK app, absolutely no need to try and find a different distro only because of Gimp. GIMP has been my preferred photo editor for almost 10 years, so perhaps it's best to stay with a GTK+ based distribution, although KDE is interesting. More plugins, scripts and especially GMIC (although I heard they are trying to adapt GMIC for use with KRita as well).īTW, digikam has a built-in photo-editor called 'Showfoto' which is pretty capable as well. It's definitely suitable but I prefer Gimp (2.9 series) over it my a large margin. Is the KDE Krita application suitable for photography, or is it mostly intended for digital painting by graphic artists? You should be able to make a live-USB with a persistent partition so you can update/upgrade but best thing would be to install side-by-side with Windows (if that's what you are using) to make a persistent install where you can add all of the raw and image-editing goodies on offer such as RawTherapee, Darktable, Gim, GMIC, ImageMagick and more.

Gimp is not a KDE application but it should be dead-easy to install with one click in the software-centre (or whatever the package manager is called in *buntu's) or perhaps not, unless the admin runs apt-get install. Perhaps it gets installed with the other K applications. Krita was available, but GIMP was missing from the Live System of the Kubuntu USB boot drive I made.
