Basic Photo Editing tool suggestions [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Check out PINTA

Pinta is a free, open source drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. Its goal is to provide users with a simple yet powerful way to draw and manipulate images on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Features include:

• Adjustments (Auto level, Black and White, Sepia, …)
• Effects (Motion blur, Glow, Warp, …)
• Multiple layers
• Unlimited undo/redo
• Drawing tools (Paintbrush, Pencil, Shapes, …)
• Cropping, Cutting and Selection tools

It's available in the Software Center by clicking Pinta

Solution 2:

Download and try gimp from the Software Center, a full featured image editor which can do as little or as much as you want.

While a little difficult to use if you are new to it, it does what you want and has so many plug-ins it rivals Photoshop.

To install click Gimp

Solution 3:

By all means try Gimp but if you want a simpler option, take a look at Fotoxx. You can blur sections, fix red eye, cut & crop, resize and quite a bit more. Nowhere near as versatile as Gimp, but much easier to use. It's in the Package Manager.
