Nautilus Extension For Quick Image Editing

Every want to right click an image in Nautilus and change it's size, rotate it, or convert its format?  If so then the IMAGE TOOLS Nautilus Extension is for you.  This extension lets you perform the following actions:

Resize, rotate or flip images
Convert images to or from:  bmp, gif, jpg, pcx, png, tif, and more
Enhance Images: brightness/color/contrast/sharpness
Add Effects: black and white, blur, border, contour, grey scale, negative, shadow, vintage or watermark.

To install it, OPEN A TERMINAL WINDOW and type the following command, pressing ENTER after each one:

     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/nautilus-extensions 

     sudo apt-get update


     sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-tools

     nautilus -q

DONE!!!

To use it just open Nautilus, right click on an image file and scroll down the list until you find the IMAGE TOOLS option.

It's not Photoshop or Gimp but for a quick edit here or there it works just fine.
