PhotoFlare is free open source software available for Windows and Linux. The good news is that layer support in PhotoFlare is on the roadmap for its upcoming 2.0 release. The much-missed Pinta (an open source image editor that was inspired by Windows app Paint.NET) supported layers and was (arguably) all the more useful for it. If there is one thing I wish PhotoFlare had that it doesn’t it’d be layers.
Colour adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc).This is great if I want to, say, resize a bunch of screenshots for a post, or apply the same photo filter to multiple photos to keep a consistent look in something i’m writing about.Ī general overview of PhotoFlare features include: What makes PhotoFlare particularly interesting to me (as a blogger) is that it lets you edit pictures in batches. In fact, the simplicity of the UI helps you to make minor editors much faster than in other (more powerful) image editors. Features aren’t hidden in obscure dialogs or buried four menus deep. PhotoFlare’s simple UI helps you make minor edits faster than in more powerful image editorsĪll tools and effects are all easy to find, use and/or apply. That’s to say it lets you make basic edits, e.g., crop an image, add text, annotate, draw, change contrast, etc, easily without any sort of complexity. In terms of “functionality” PhotoFlare sits above Microsoft Paint clones but below full-featured, resource-heavy image editing programmes like The GIMP. The project was initially conceived as being ‘ PhotoFiltre‘ for Linux (a popular freeware image editor for Windows) but has since become it “own” thing.
PhotoFlare is free, open source image editor built using C++ and Qt.
