I imagine with some proficiency this would be very useful. I'll make a
note to look into it at a future date. I think it's particularly useful
if you want to batch process many photos.


I use it as an image viewer, but I don't do any editing with it any
more.  My image cataloging perl script used to use it for rotation,
cropping, resizing, and slideshows.  It's cropping and rotation are
lossy, so I switched over to jpegtran for those functions.  For
resizing I'm now using Image::Resize, which is based on the gd library.
The slideshow mode has turned out to be not important enough to
re-implement.

For serious editing, I use the GIMP.  It's not Photoshop, but it's
close.
