The Usable Image Editor
A Brief Introduction
Nathive is a libre software image editor,
similar to Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint or
The GIMP, but focused on usability, logic and
providing a smooth learning curve for everyone. The project run in the
Gnome desktop environment and anyone is welcome
to collaborate on it with code, translations or ideas.
This project is in the alpha phase, so it is an incomplete work, unfit for the end user yet. The
intention is to achieve a professional graphic editor progressively without giving up initial
usability. Nathive is written from scratch in
C using
GTK+, and is designed to be simple, lightweight,
and easy to install and use.
