Graphics Applications
There are a vast number of graphics applications available to Ubuntu users. From the simple to the complex, you're sure to find a program that does the job.
A number of applications come with the default installation of Ubuntu. However, more are available in the repositories, and elsewhere.
There are also many open/free graphics resources available to help you get started, and help on licensing your own content freely so that other people can enjoy and use it.
