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

I haven't used it much, but it looks very powerful and well organised. Main reason for my comment: it wasn't installed in my Mint 20 update, likely for the reason Mehdi mentioned, but today it installed without any problem. :-)
I love gimp. It is awesome! But since I have upgraded my linux mint from 19.3 to version 20 (Ulyana), I am not able to open gimp. It is installed properly but when I open it, it raises Segmentation Fault error. I tried it from repository, flatpak, used PPA, even used AppImage but none worked. It works on lower version of mint but not in Ulyana. I could not make it from source because the component versions did not match. Mostly I faced problem in babl/GEGL stuff. I asked for assistance in HexChat but none solved this problem. I miss gimp a lot!
I spend hours to try to make resynthetizer (and Heal selection) plugin work with no success (package, flatpack, binaries of plugin, compiled from source...). Finally I found a really good alternative alternative GLIMPSE. I finnaly removed Gimp and use Glimpse instead wich works fine with resynthetizer plugin !
O DRAWING é mais fácil. mais proximo do paint. basico , simples e eficiente. DRAWING is easier. closer to paint. basic, simple and efficient.
Exhaustive tool for raster graphic editing! And the mushrooms on the boot logo мakes it clear that developers know the point ))
I know professionals may be used to Photoshop and may think they can't live without it. Maybe some of them really can't. However, the functionality of GIMP is impressive once you know the basic concepts.
Very good software! Could be a bit more user friendly but if you take the trouble to learn the keyboard shortcuts, you can work around this. All round, great photoediting app!
got to gimp.org to install gimp 2.10 with flatpak. gimp 2.8 available here isn't very good.
Es ist "Ok". Bedienung nicht gerade intuitiv und man muss es erst einmal studieren um zu verstehen was man machen kann / sollte, aber es läuft.
No other alternative to Photoshop can manage pictures as good as this app. Highly recommend. Just be patient!
I'm using this often for many photo/graphic related working. I like it a lot. Functionality gives slightly stiff feeling but it really doesn't matter as it provides all what i need!
Very stable and feature-rich image editing software. But Photoshop users be warned: GIMP is *not* a complete replacement for Photoshop. GIMP has fantastic features for editing, repairing and compositing images ~~ but it lags significantly behind Photoshop in features if you are doing design work. For example, adding a drop shadow to text (a trivial task in Photoshop) is a real slog in GIMP (and is done destructively). Probably for a design workflow you would want to look at other FOSS programs (Inkscape for example).
I'm not an artist but I do occasionally edit some pictures and enjoy doing it in GIMP :) I never tried photoshop, but for occasional use (like mine) paying PS license doesn't seem reasonable, GIMP suit's my case perfectly :)
I hate when people say "it's not Photoshop" ... of course it's not. I don't have to spend a bunch of money in order to use this, it's free. This is one of the best programs I have ever used that is free. I want to say thank you to the developers for all there work. I love it! Keep up the good work.
