Ubuntu – Alternative to Photoshop or Paint.NET

software-recommendation

I have been moving toward Ubuntu from a long time Windows development background. The one program I cannot seem to do without is a graphic editor. I have seen recommendations for programs, but they turn out to be directed at children or tailored to working with personal photographs.

I am looking for something more for programming tasks like analysing colors, resizing, creating web graphics, etc. I have used Photoshop in the past and more recently have mostly used Paint.net for Windows.

Is there a program for Ubuntu that covers this area?

Best Answer

GIMP (install) should do the job.

Many people I know complained that GIMP has an awkward and unintuitive user interface, but hopefully you can get used to it and get the job done.
