gimp
Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd), and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print photos.
To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends package.
To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP, install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

Excellent. Have been using it for years already. Automating it with python made it even better for me.
Unfortunately, some people don't understand how Linux systems work, especially Ubuntu (and Debian). The app reppository (system packages) aren't updated until the next version of the operating system. That's why the Flatpak format (and Snap, and AppImage) was created. If you want to use the latest version of an application, it's simple: use Flatpak!
I am not very good with this especially resizing images. I cropped a few photos but find it awkward. It is good know that if I keep at it I will solve my problems. The version 3.O is available just download the flatpak from the Gimp website and right click to "open with" and choose the Software Manager. This will take you to a GIMP install page in the Software Manager. Then you will have both versions installed.
Update this to version 3.0 and I will change my rating. Please update this!
Could you please update this to version 3.0? GIMP 3.0 finally came out yesterday on its official website. We've been waiting seven years for it. It has non-destructive editing. Please make it happen. Don't let us wait anymore for the Software Manager version. PLEASE UPDATE!!!
El gran problema que tiene es su interfaz de usuario porque en cuanto a funciones y herramientas es muy completo, excelente remplazo a photoshop.
Photoshop if Adobe was cool, also the acronym is fine. I love having a casual way of saying GIMP to my family and friends.
Worst thing about it is it's acronym. I apprecaite that it's spelled out in this version. It's not Photoshop, (its also not hundreds of dollars,) but it does what I need an image manipulation program for.
I used Photoshop on Win. Changed from Win to Linux a few weeks ago. GIMP has a steep learning curve.
Hope that there is a lite version of this for non hardcore like me.. User Friendly app like Paint.net, this is to hardcore for me who only edit minor images that you can see on canva. It's okay to be used for sometimes but not intensely like on paint.net or like Afinity from apple.
There isn't much more to add to the comments below from everyone else, but I want to throw my 5 star rating into the pool. Hands down the most powerful FOSS graphic editor around. I used to use this on Windows and then welcomed it back on my Linux system.
The best open source graphic editing software. Sure there is a bit of adjust if you are coming from Adobe Photoshop...But it can do most of the same things. And no monthly cost!
This is the best free photo editor around. Well worth every second of time compared to a hundred dollars, a spy OS, and costly upgrades. It can even edit PDFs which is more than Adobe Element did.
