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.

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