#### Fast, image-first photo viewer and editor

Licasa is a photo viewer and editor for Linux inspired by the simplicity of Picasa Photo Viewer. Open pictures directly from your file manager, view them fullscreen, or keep them in floating windows alongside your work.

Whether you’re browsing everyday snapshots, comparing photographs, or making a quick edit, Licasa keeps your pictures at the centre of the experience.

* Browse and zoom with minimal controls.
* Open multiple floating windows to compare shots or keep a reference nearby.
* Crop, rotate, and flip images. Adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, and sharpness.
* Save or export your edited pictures in different formats.
* Open familiar and modern formats - View JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000, and camera RAW previews.
* Play supported Motion Photos and animated APNG images.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Licasa Photo Viewer

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/licasa/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
