    1.42 +<h3>Gcolor2 - Select and manage colors</h3>
    1.43 +<p>
    1.44 +Gcolor2 is a tool to select and retain palette colors. It can be useful for the creation of SliTaz themes 
    1.45 +for example. It can be found in the Graphics category or run from the command line:
    1.46 +</p>
    1.47 +<pre> $ gcolor2 &amp;
    1.48 +</pre>
    1.49 +
    1.50 +<a name="gimp"></a>
    1.51 +<h3>Gimp - Manipulate and create images</h3>
    1.52 +<p>
    1.53 +The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation) is software that can manipulate images to a high quality level.
    1.54 +It allows you to do what you would expect from an application that processes images, ie layers, filters, 
    1.55 +support scripts adding functionality etc. GIMP supports a large number of image formats such as:
    1.56 +PNG, JPEG, XPM, PPM, TIFF, PostScript, PSD, it also offers it's own XCF format. To install GIMP:
    1.57 +</p>
    1.58 +<pre> # tazpkg get-install gimp
    1.59 +</pre>
    1.60 +<p>
    1.61 +GIMP is scalable and can be configured with the main interface - configuration files, brushes and personal
    1.62 +scripts are located in the <code>~/.gimp-2.2</code> directory.
    1.63 +</p>
    1.64 +
    1.65 +<a name="gqview"></a>
    1.66 +<h3>GQview - Images manager</h3>
    1.67 +<p>
    1.68 +GQview is very light and quick and allows you to navigate rapidly between images by selecting files
    1.69 +in your directory tree with a single mouse click. It supports slideshows, image rotation, adding
    1.70 +keywords and tags, drag and drop and can display EXIF data. It also allows you to edit images
    1.71 +in the software of your choice (Mtpaint, GIMP for example). To install GQview:
    1.72 +</p>
    1.73 +<pre> # tazpkg get-install gqview
    1.74 +</pre>
    1.75 +
    1.76 +<a name="jpeg"></a>
    1.77 +<h3>jpeg - JPEG command line tools</h3>
    1.78 +<p>
    1.79 +To allow applications that use JPEG to function, linked libraries must be provided by the package
    1.80 +<code>jpeg-6b</code>, this package also contains some tiny utilities that can be used on the command
    1.81 +line such as <code>cjpeg</code> and <code>djpeg</code>. To modify JPEG images on the command line you 
    1.82 +can also use <code>jpegtran</code>, installed by default on SliTaz, <code>jpegtran</code> allows you to 
    1.83 +rotate images via the <code>-rotate</code> option. To find out all of the options available for these 
    1.84 +tools, just specify the <code>--help</code> option. Example:
    1.85 +</p>
    1.86 +<pre> $ cjpeg --help
    1.87 +</pre>
    1.88 +
    1.89 +<a name="mtPaint"></a>
    1.90 +<h3>mtPaint -  Image processing</h3>
    1.91 +<p>
    1.92 +mtPaint is an application for the creation and retouching of PNG, TIFF, 
    1.93 +XPM and BMP images. It offers many simple, lightweight, fast functions like
    1.94 +capture screen (screenshot) which you can access via the menu --&gt; Graphics --&gt; 
    1.95 +Grab screenshot, or by simply typing the following:
    1.96 +</p>
    1.97 +<pre> $ mtpaint -s
    1.98 +</pre>
