Ayin – Photo Editing Software

Ayin (عَيْن, [ʕajn]), Arabic for "eye", is a free and open-source photo editing software I developed in part of a contest in my first year at FCAI-CU and got 1st place in the solo competition. Ayin is very simplistic compared to big corporate software™ but it has some cool features and gets the job done in terms of functionality implemented. Talking of features, when I showcased Ayin, the device theme feature despite being the simplest, got the most applause. It's always the little things that make good software!

Features

• 21+ Filters
• Multiple image tabs
• Undo and redo stack
• Follow device theme
