What is AXimg?
aXimg is an open-source image browser, viewer, and processor designed specifically for photographers using Linux. It is aimed at allowing photographers to quickly and efficiently organize, browse, rate and tag their image collections.
Some of the key features of aXimg include:
- Fast image browsing and processing of RAW files from all major camera brands
- Support for hierarchical keywords and tags to organize image collections
- Advanced rating system with color labels and star ratings
- EXIF and IPTC metadata viewing and editing
- Basic image editing like cropping, rotation, brightness/contrast
- Batch export, renaming and resizing of images
- Slideshow functionality
As an open-source program, aXimg is completely free to use and modify. It focuses specifically on the workflow and needs of photographers rather than being a generic image viewer. If you take and manage lots of digital photographs, especially RAW files, and are looking for an alternative to commercial programs, aXimg is worth considering.
