Sly – friendly image editor

Sly is billed as a friendly image editor that requires no internet connection or preexisting expertise. Just open a photo and tweak away.

The app allows you to adjust attributes like brightness or contrast as well as add effects like a vignette or a border. It also allows you to flip, rotate and crop the image to your heart’s desire. If you’re a pro, you can even preview your edits on a histogram.

When you’re done, just export the photo as a JPEG or a PNG with the quality settings of your choosing. You also get a choice in whether or not to keep metadata such as location information.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Light – change the exposure, brightness, contrast, blacks, whites, and midtones.
• Color – change the saturation, temperature, and tint.
• Effects – noise reduction, sharpness, sepia, vignette, and border.
• Crop – change the aspect ratio, rotate left, rotate right, flip horizontal, and flip vertically.
• Export image with the option to save the metadata.
