| == GIMP Image Editor == The GIMP is a powerful image editing application and is the default image editor for Ubuntu. It will happily open and save to most image file formats and offers a host of useful features, plus the scope to add more using its plug-in system. Filters such as Motion Blur, Cubism and Predator make advanced image editing fun and easy. The GIMP opens several windows by default, which act as 'toolboxes' from which you can tweak settings and select tools to work on your image with. For more information, tutorials and extensions, visit [http://www.gimp.org the GIMP website] or read TheGimpHowto. |

| == gThumb Image Viewer == gThumb is designed to help you organise your photo collection, but you can also perform simple editing tasks. You can use it to import pictures from your digital camera, make a photo CD or display a slideshow of your pictures for example, all in one easy-to-use package. |
Some applications come with the default installation of Ubuntu and even more are available in the repositories or elsewhere in the form of deb packages or tar balls. |

| == XSane Image Scanner == If you have a scanner, you can use XSane to control the scanner and acquire images from it. With XSane, you can easily photocopy documents and save, fax or e-mail your scanned images. It can even save your scans as multi-page documents, instead of seperate, one-page files. XSane can also be used directly from within The GIMP; just click ''File'' | ''Acquire'' | ''XSane'' to scan directly into an image. |
