The best graphics and image editors on Linux

For those users with Linux it can be somewhat more difficult to find photo editors. But, it must be said that there is a good selection available. In general, they are very complete and professional programs with which you can significantly increase the quality of your photos. Precisely what users are looking for with a program with these characteristics.

Next we leave you with the best graphics and image editors in Linux.

Polarr

He is one of the most complete editors that we can find. Also, one of the few that can work with photos in RAW format. So it is a good option for those with a professional camera. Polarr accepts images up to more than 30 pixels, making it a very capable and ideal program for professional image editing.

We have all kinds of tools available to work with images. There are many filters available to add to images. We have the option of both downloading the program and using it in the browser. A most versatile option.

Krita

Krita is an application designed for digital drawing, illustration and painting. In addition, it stands out for being completely free and open source. It is an application that can be used by both professionals and amateurs, since it is quite intuitive. We have a wide variety of functions available in it, from filters, to HDR painting to textures.

It is available in three versions, one of which is compatible with Linux. In addition, this version has a kind of introductory course. In this way users can learn more about how Krita works before using it.

Darktable

It is possibly the main alternative to Lightroom from Adobe. It is a program that allows us to work with RAW photos, making it again ideal for professionals. It has sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ, and linear RGB support. So it is a complete program and with many possibilities in that regard. In addition, it also offers us the possibility of carrying out simpler tasks.

Darktable is not just a program for professionals. It also allows us to edit photos in a simple way. We can cut images, change the color temperature, contrast… In addition, we have the possibility of installing additional modules with which we can carry out advanced tasks. Like all the programs on the list, Darktable is available for Linux.

Gimp

A program that we have already told you about in the previous article, and which luckily is also available for Linux. It is one of the best alternatives to Photoshop when it comes to editing images. A complete program that offers us multiple options to be able to edit our photos so that they appear professional. The main downside to Gimp is the design, which leaves something to be desired.

If you are looking for a program that can replace Photoshop, then Gimp is possibly the best idea.

Inkscape

Another image editor famous for its power and for the multiple editing options it offers us. It is an open source program that makes editing a photo a breeze. For such a complete program and with so many options it should be noted that it is quite easy to use. So it is an ideal option for those users with less knowledge in this area.

We can carry out the basic image editing tasks, although in this case it does not have support for RAW images. It is probably one of the main drawbacks of this editor.

This is our selection of the best graphics and image editors for Linux. We hope that they have been useful and useful to you when working. Do you use any of these programs?
