GIMP es un editor de imágenes avanzado que puede usarse para editar, mejorar y retocar fotos y documentos escaneados, crear dibujos y hacer sus propias imágenes. Tiene una gran colección de herramientas de edición a nivel profesional y filtros, similares a los que puede encontrar en Photoshop, así como numerosos ajustes finos y características como capas, rutas, máscaras y guiones con secuencias de órdenes que le proporcionan un control total sobre las imágenes.

Es compatible con muchos formatos de archivos de imágenes, incluidos JPEG, Photoshop (.psd) y archivos Paint Shop Pro (.psp). Se puede usar para escanear e imprimir fotos.

Para abrir archivos remotos (por HTTP), instale el paquete gvfs-backend.

Para usar un dispositivo MIDI (como un teclado) como un controlador de entrada en GIMP, instale libasound2 y lea el «cómo» en /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

Inkscape is an illustration editor which has everything needed to create professional-quality computer art. You can use it to make diagrams and illustrations, technical drawings, web graphics, clip art, icons and logos. A collection of hands-on tutorials show you how to combine lines, shapes and text of different types and styles to build up a picture.

A selection of powerful vector graphics editing tools comes as standard. There is excellent support for paths, gradients, layers, alpha transparency and text flow control. An extensive library of filters allow you to apply realistic effects and extensions allow you to work with bitmaps, barcodes and printing marks, amongst other things.

Most of the common vector formats are supported, including PDF, Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD files, and it has unrivalled support for the SVG web graphics standard.

Between the suggested packages:

• dia: to export Dia shapes;
• libsvg-perl: to import .txt files (txt2svg extension);
• python3-packaging: used by the Optimized SVG extension;
• python3-uniconvertor: enables several import/export extensions;
• pstoedit: to work with eps files;
• ruby: there are several extensions written in ruby;

LibreCAD es una aplicación para diseño asistido por ordenador (CAD) en dos dimensiones (2D). Con LibreCad usted puede crear dibujos técnicos como planos para edificios, interiores, partes mecánicas o esquemas y diagramas.

Pencil2D is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics.

The basic features of Pencil2D are:

• layers support (separated layer for bitmap, vector and soud part)
• bitmap drawing
• vector drawing
• sound support

Scribus is an open source desktop page layout program with the aim of producing commercial grade output in PDF and Postscript.

Scribus can be used for many tasks; from brochure design to newspapers, magazines, newsletters and posters to technical documentation.

Scribus supports professional DTP features, such as CMYK color and a color management system to soft proof images for high quality color printing, flexible PDF creation options, Encapsulated PostScript import/export and creation of 4 color separations, import of EPS/PS and SVG as native vector graphics, Unicode text including right to left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew via freetype. Graphic formats which can be placed in Scribus as images include PDF, Encapsulated Post Script (eps), TIFF, JPEG, PNG and XPixMap(xpm), and any bitmap type supported by QT5.

If you need to use the render frame install the texlive-latex-recommended package (suggested).

XPaint is suitable for producing simple graphics. It does offer some advanced features such as image processing functions and gradient fill.

In the C Script Editor of XPaint, the External editor in the File menu will invoke x-terminal-emulator -e sensible-editor.

The gv package will be needed for PDF/PS reading, netpbm will be needed for external conversion, lpr for printing.

Blender es una solución integrada de 3d para modelar, animar, generar imágenes, post-procesarlas y hacer creaciones interactivas (juegos). Blender tiene su particular interfaz de usuario, que está implementada íntegramente en OpenGL y diseñada con el rendimiento como premisa. Dispone de enlaces con Python para hacer «scripts»; la importación y exportación de formatos de fichero populares como 3D Studio y Wavefront Obj han sido implementadas como «scripts» por la comunidad. Fotos fijas, animaciones, modelos para juegos u otros motores de terceros y contenido interactivo en forma de binarios autónomos son productos comunes del uso de Blender.

Hugin is a panorama photo stitching program. Essentially, Hugin is a GUI frontend for Panorama Tools. Stitching is accomplished by using several overlapping photos taken from the same location, and using control points to align and transform the photos so that they can be blended together to form a larger image. Hugin allows for the easy creation of control points between two images, optimization of the image transforms, and much more.

This package includes the following graphical interfaces, using the command-line tools provided in the hugin-tools package:

• hugin - Hugin panorama creator.
• hugin_stitch_project - Hugin batch stitcher.
• PTBatcherGUI - Batch controller for the stitching process.
• calibrate_lens_gui - Lens calibration tool.

Tgif (originally the "Tangram Graphic Interface Facility") is a classic drawing program for 2D vector graphics. Image objects can be hierarchically constructed out of primitives such as polygons, text, and splines (though the splines Tgif draws are not Bézier curves).

It natively supports PostScript formats suitable for LaTeX, as well as X11 bitmap or (version 1) pixmap formats. Other vector and raster image formats such as SVG and PNG can be handled via filters.

Tgif stores drawings as .obj files and individual building-block objects as .sym files, both in Prolog-compatible fact file format.

XaoS le permite hacer zoom y mover la cámara en un fractal en tiempo real. Puede mostrar los fractales animados en gráficos o en texto plano.

Muestra el conjunto Mandelbrot y otros muchos fractales, y le permite hacer zoom despacio en el fractal. Están incluidos varios modos de coloreado para los puntos internos y externos del conjunto seleccionado. Además, se incluye la posibilidad de elegir entre los tipos de fractales de Mandelbrot y de Julia.

Otras opciones: incluye Modo Piloto automático, cambio de paletas, guardado de imágenes, inversión de fractales, filtros, y un tutorial de fractales incorporado.

XFig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate objects interactively in an X window. The resulting pictures can be saved. If the fig2dev program is installed, which is contained in the fig2dev package, the pictures can be printed on postscript printers or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g. to allow inclusion in LaTeX documents or web pages).

This package contains the xfig program itself.

You should think about installing the fig2dev package to export the graphics to several common formats. You should also think about installing xfig-doc, which contains the documentation and xfig-libs, which contains several clip art libraries.
