D ebates over the best image editor for Linux show no sign of disappearing. In many, if not all software group tests that include GIMP, it’s this venerable program that takes the top spot. However, it depends on what exactly we mean by ‘editing’. It can be photographic retouching using the Stamp and Healing brush, or it can be drawing, selecting and working with layers. People often edit photos by manipulating their colours, fixing gamma, brightness, saturation, restoring over-saturated areas and so on. Looking back at such imaging tools that proved to be of the most use in realworld tasks, applications such as Rawtherapee (LXF247 and 237) or Darktable (LXF273) spring to mind.
