Yes, I know snapseed is a mobile app, but that’s the kind of simplicity I’m looking for. Pre-made filters, an auto-fix button, adjustment sliders, etc.
I have image toolbox on mobile and even that’s a bit over the top with option (and I still haven’t found sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation, shadows etc in that maze).
Linux or Windows programs are fine, I run both.


I use Pinta for basic editing, I mostly do cropping and annotation.
For mor complex stuff Krita and Inkscape for the annotations.
Thanks for the Pinta recommendation, I’ll check that out.
