glScissor

glScissor is a graphical user interface (GUI) application designed for image cropping and editing, primarily targeted at users working within Linux environments. It provides a simple and efficient way to select and crop regions of an image without the need for complex image editing software.

Developed as a lightweight alternative to more comprehensive image editors, glScissor leverages OpenGL for high-performance rendering, ensuring smooth and responsive operation even with large images. The program features a minimalistic interface that allows users to quickly select a rectangular area for cropping by dragging the mouse cursor directly over the image. Users can fine-tune their selections, resize, and reposition the cropping rectangle as needed.

One of the key features of glScissor is its ability to save the cropped image or copy it to the clipboard, facilitating seamless integration with other applications. It supports common image formats such as PNG, JPEG, and BMP, making it versatile for various image processing tasks. Additionally, glScissor offers options for restoring the original image, undoing recent changes, and adjusting the selection precision.

Supported on multiple Linux distributions, glScissor is often included in repositories of popular distros or available through source compilation. Its design emphasizes speed, simplicity, and user-friendliness, making it suitable for users who require quick cropping tools without resorting to complex image editing suites. Due to its specialized functionality, glScissor is primarily used for screenshots and quick edits rather than detailed image manipulation.
