A Photo Tool (Libre)

A Photo Tool (Libre) is an open-source photo editor for Linux users who need straightforward changes to image files. It provides controls for exposure, contrast, and white balance, along with other basic image adjustments. The application is listed in the Video & Media Players category on MirrorNest, where it serves as an image-editing option within that broader media grouping.

Users can crop, rotate, and resize images as part of routine editing work. The editor can convert color photographs to black and white, with options that control how the original colors are represented in grayscale. JPEG files are supported, and PNG plus some other image formats can also be edited. These functions make the software suitable for basic corrections, framing changes, size adjustments, and monochrome conversion.

A print command is available from the File menu, but printing requires print documents permission for the application in the Software Store. If the installed printer does not appear and only PDF creation is offered, printing in app-store application permissions may need to be enabled, or the supplied cups-control connection command can be used. A tutorial video is also provided in the source material for enabling photo printing.

MirrorNest stores the official build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing. This distribution gives Linux users a catalog download of the official build while identifying its open-source license. The first installation may take additional time because Snap loads required shared components onto the system.
