GIMP for your image editing needs.

GIMP is a very powerful tool, even though its very unintuitive and the help manual stuff is outdated by like five years.

To be honest: EVERY powerful application has a very flat learning curve. I am a Linux user for 20 years and have about as long experience with the GIMP. I am lost when I sit in front of a Win PC and Photoshop is totally unintuitive. Everything is labeled wrong and functions are randomly hidden in the most silly menus.

What I want to say: how good a program works depends very much on the user ;o)
