Share button is located on the rightest upper corner and makes sharing with major web storage places easy. This allows for your favourite pictures to be bookmarked in the same way as bookmarks work in a browser, really neat feature. Gthumb has few great functionality which unfortunately as of time of writting are missing or hardly achievable in Geeqie

Based on the fact Geeqie seems to have more functionality it is probably superior and better choice for people looking for professional image vieweing / editting.However there are some other aspects I've noticed, where it lacks behind Gthumb. I went through the program options just for the sake to compare with Geeqie. You see gthumb appears, quite similar in "look&feel" to Geeqie. If you're more of a gui user than me you can run it also through GNOME menus:Īpplications -> Graphics -> Gthumb Image Viewer Once installed, I ran it via a gnome run application shortcut ALT+F2 and typed:

To install on RPM based Linux ]# yum -y install gthumb Gthumb is also installable for Fedora and CentOS users by default from default assigned package repos: Ubuntu gthumb latest packages would probably be newer than my debian installed one, so Ubuntu users can have the joy to use a newer version of gthumb… The current latest stable Gthumb release is way ahead from the existing deb stable package, the latest available version on sourceforge is 2.7.4 I assume gthumb package was installed as some package dependency or I did it install some very long time ago and I forgot.įor people who didn't have it install do: I did not needed to install gthumb, as I had it installed already on my notebook. Since I haven't used/seen Gthumb "for ages", I was also curious how the program looks nowdays. So Enough with histograms, I will switch now to a short review of Gthumb For instance for correction of image color gamma or manually adjusting the brightness for each picture pixel brightness. Though Image Histograms might seem pretty useles they're very much needed in Professional Graphic Manipulation. Well, Actually you can see this without a histogram too 😉 With this said in mind, you can see, the above Geeqie picture visibile histogram obviously has most of its data concentrated on the right and the center so this means the histogram belongs to a bright pic. Interesting fact concerning "reading" and understanding Histograms is on a Histogram for a very dark image the majority of data points are on the left side and center of the graph, whether histogram for a very bright image with few dark areas and/or shadows will have most of its data points located on the right side and center of the graph. Photographers can use them as an aid to show the distribution of picture "tones" captured, and whether image detail has been lost to blown-out highlights or blacked-out shadows.

Its likely you didn't know what you saw a digital camera display is a histogram.Īnyways being not familiar with histograms is perfectly fine as for most of us (regular) users image historograms doesn't make much sense.īTW Histograms are very useful for pro Photographers. There are few type of Histograms to display in Geekiq, available by navigating to:Įven if you're not familiar with Image histograms, probably you have seen them appear on a digital camera while browsing in menus. You see one of the many new nice features is the support for drawing Image Histograms. Going through the interface, I've found it has much more features than GQView. Hence QGView continues to live on nowdays under the hood of GeekieĪs you can see from the prior screenshot Geeqie has very similar interface to GQView.
It was new to me Gqview is no longer developed, its dev is forked (because its head developer is not reachable any more). What poped up instead of gqview is Geeqie – a picture viewer nowdays available on a default Slackware Linux install.įedora, CentOS users will have to build geekie from its source, as of time of writting there is no available rpm package. This is a compatibility alias for Geeqie!Ĭreating Geeqie dir:/home/hipo/.config/geeqieĬreating Geeqie dir:/home/hipo/.local/share/geeqie/collectionsĬreating Geeqie dir:/home/hipo/.cache/geeqie/thumbnailsĬreating Geeqie dir:/home/hipo/.local/share/geeqie/metadata I wanted to see how GQView looks nowdays so installed it: While reading, I saw a reference to Gthumb and GQView picture viewing apps, so I thought of installing them on my Debian Linux GQView has a lot of santimental value to me as it reminds me of the the old times when I used gqview as a default picture viewing program on a old machine running Debian Woody Linux with Window Maker as desktop environment.
I'm currently learning some basic graphic design – reading GIMP's documentation etc.
