Bill - According to the web page, XnView appears to be a graphic viewer/browser rather than an editor. You might want to look at The Gimp. This is more like PhotoShop; it is my understanding that it was created as a PS clone by and for folks who insist on using unix boxes, and more recently has been converted to operate on Microsoft machines.
