This is a list of useful software to see, manage and edit photos under xUbuntu.
Depending on your needs, you should install one of the following tool:
| Application | Description | Like ... | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shotwell | Complete solution to view and edit images | Like iPhoto in the MAC world | Like iPhoto, Shotwell doesn't change the original image, all changes are keep inside the application's library! |
| gThumb | Complete solution to view and edit images | Like IrFanView on Windows | GThumb perform operation(s) directly on the files |

I recommended you gThumb.
But if you're an advanced photographer, then you should keep your originals and use shotwell.
