An image browser helps to select before performing an extensive operation. Order photos in identifiable folders and check what happens when you save a change. A spin action or color correction can result in a new file version depending on size and method.
Keep originals of photos that you want to edit later. Check the destination after copying or moving. For complex retouching or layering work, a specialised image editor is more suitable than a browser with basic operations.
Version and updates
The package version of Pix may vary per Linux distribution. Check the package in your software management: distributions can process repairs without using the same main version number as the developer. Do not mix packages from different distributions without checking the dependencies.
Compare Pix with alternatives
Quick browsing, supported formats and batch actions are important for a large photomap. Compare whether the app only displays folders or builds its own catalog. When modifying metadata, please note whether data is stored in the files themselves or only in the app.

Our verdict
Pix is useful to go through a photo folder and make a selection. First check how operations are stored and work with copies when in doubt. For color-critical RAW editing, you need more specialized control. As a viewer and daily photo manager, the combination is clear.
