F-spot, shotwell, solang — some distros are arguing about what
should be the default “simpler than GIMP” image editor. But
there’s one that never seems to get mentioned and deserves a look:

If it’s not already packaged for your distro, you can get it at
kornelix.squarespace.com/fotoxx.

Run fotoxx on an initial image:
