Is the usual answer to this not imagemagick, or are you looking for something with a GUI?
Yes, GUI.
To be clear I'm not talking about batch processes, where Imagemagick would be my goto. Just want a viewer with basic editing capabilities, rather than a viewer that can't do anything else at all, or an editor that can do too much.
Eg: Train is delayed, take photo of the ticket to claim for the delay, Need to crop it to get rid of any rubbish, rotate it perhaps, and reduce the image scale to fit the daft 3MB upload limit. Or: have a screenshot, want to cut a bit of it off for emailing to a support person. Or: Have a photo which needs rotating and extraneous stuff cut off. That kind of day-to-day image stuff, no pattern to it, but never anything complex.
Part of the motivation is that often I might have several images that are candidates to be used, so I have to open them in a viewer first to see which I'm going to use, before then locating the same image in GIMP just so I can crop it to the view I had open in the viewer. GIMP would be weak at the viewing part, and over complicated for the editing part. EoG goes 90% of where I need to get but without that last 10% I'm nowhere.
