Ooh my favourite freeware image manipulation program is on it's third integer release!! I've been using gimp since 2005, fantastic program.

seems to take longer to 'boot up', but much faster once you are 'in'...

all my favourite tools are still there!

The Register has a little more info: Photoshop FOSS alternative GIMP ... version 3.0

... native Wayland support as well as X11 ...

Very handy for my purposes.

To help make Adobe emigrés feel a little less lost, there is PhotoGIMP. It's an addon that modifies how GIMP looks and works to make it more familiar to PhotoShop users: different window and menu layouts, keystrokes and so on. It's available for GIMP 3.0 on Linux and Windows.

Very handy for those wishing to escape Photoshop (I haven't used either it or PhotoShop, so can't comment on how good it is).
