paul@62 42 for example. It can be found in the Graphics category or run from the command line:
paul@62 43 </p>

paul@62 48 <h3>Gimp - Manipulate and create images</h3>
paul@62 49 <p>
paul@63 50 The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation) is software that can manipulate images to a very high quality level.
paul@62 51 It allows you to do what you would expect from an application that processes images, ie layers, filters,
paul@62 52 support scripts adding functionality etc. GIMP supports a large number of image formats such as:
paul@62 53 PNG, JPEG, XPM, PPM, TIFF, PostScript, PSD, it also offers it's own XCF format. To install GIMP:
paul@62 54 </p>
paul@62 55 <pre> # tazpkg get-install gimp
paul@62 56 </pre>
paul@62 57 <p>
paul@62 58 GIMP is scalable and can be configured with the main interface - configuration files, brushes and personal
paul@62 59 scripts are located in the <code>~/.gimp-2.2</code> directory.

paul@62 67 keywords and tags, drag and drop and can display EXIF data. It also allows you to edit images
paul@62 68 in the software of your choice (Mtpaint, GIMP for example). To install GQview:

paul@62 74 <h3>jpeg - JPEG command line tools</h3>
paul@62 75 <p>
paul@62 76 To allow applications that use JPEG to function, linked libraries must be provided by the package
paul@62 77 <code>jpeg-6b</code>, this package also contains some tiny utilities that can be used on the command
paul@62 78 line such as <code>cjpeg</code> and <code>djpeg</code>. To modify JPEG images on the command line you
paul@62 79 can also use <code>jpegtran</code>, installed by default on SliTaz, <code>jpegtran</code> allows you to
paul@62 80 rotate images via the <code>-rotate</code> option. To find out all of the options available for these
paul@62 81 tools, just specify the <code>--help</code> option. Example:
paul@62 82 </p>
paul@62 83 <pre> $ cjpeg --help
paul@62 84 </pre>

paul@62 86 <a name="mtPaint"></a>
paul@62 87 <h3>mtPaint - Image processing</h3>
paul@62 88 <p>
