Using gThumb to view, process, and present images

Conclusion

gThumb is a good way to get many tasks accomplished without much fuss. With Gimp, for example, your work might take considerably more time. gThumb lets you do things like change contrast and brightness, remove red eye effect and crop images to standard formats with just a few mouse clicks.

The tool does not require much getting used to, and the software impresses with its image viewer and presentation capabilities.

The graphical user interface is the only part of the program that may require some practice.
