Is There a Linux Version of Photoshop?

AI Thread Summary
Linux Red Hat users seeking alternatives to Photoshop can utilize GIMP, a powerful image editing software that supports various file formats, including .psd. GIMP is free and runs natively on Linux, avoiding the complications of using Wine to run Photoshop, which may perform poorly. Additionally, GIMP can be enhanced with plugins for extended functionality. For more options, users can explore resources like linuxartist.org, which lists various graphics software compatible with Linux. New users may also consider switching to Ubuntu for a more user-friendly experience compared to Red Hat.

I just got Linux Red hat, still trying to get use to it...

I am having trouble editing pictures and drawing diagrams using Open Office software. Is there an equivalent "Photoshop" for Linux platforms?

The GIMP can do almost anything photoshop can (including edit .psd format images).
It also has the advantages of
1: You don't have to pay a lot of money for it.
2: You don't have to spend hours trying to get wine to work good enough to run photoshop. (The most complicated program I've been able to run via wine is starcraft).
3: It runs natively in Linux, whereas photoshop will run slowly (if at all) in wine.
 
The GIMP's functionality can be extended via plugins: http://registry.gimp.org/

There are lots of other options as well: try http://linuxartist.org/ for more info. A lot of the packages listed there probably have binaries available for RedHat as well.

btw, if your new to linux I suggest that you switch to ubuntu, a lot more user friendly than redhat.

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
