Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Why is ImageMagick so hard to use? (Cropping JPGs in Linux)

Funny, I've felt the same way about ImageMagick. Once I even uninstalled it (I think this was on RPi Desktop for x86), only for that action to cause havoc somewhere else, and I had to re-install it (or maybe it even re-installed itself, IDK). But I found the UI primitive and baffling.

FWIW my daily driver is Linux Mint and it comes with Pix, which I've found to be intuitive and useful. Just the right amount of editing tools for my purposes. All I tend to do is crop, rotate, re-size, color correct, adjust gamma, contrast, saturation. Pretty rare for me to need to do anything else. I find GIMP overkill as well, but I did use GIMP for batch resizing before I figured out how to accomplish that in simpler editing programs.

Give Pix a try if you can, see if it's not just right for you as well:
