I am a budding graphics designer and I was wondering what are all the art programs available on linux. I don't care if they are free or not, I just want to know all my options!
@Nekryu The GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) is the standard advanced raster editor for GNU/Linux. In fact it's the only one. It does an OK job, but lacks some features at the moment (such as high bit-depth support), but it is actively being improved. the development version is pretty stable and has a few extra features as well. If I recall correctly youtube user GIMPKNOWHOW makes the best tutorials currently available.
@Nekryu There is Gimp which you can get from your repository or add a repository which has the current gimp development (2.7.4). There is Inkscape and Xara Xtreme for vector editing, both you can get from the synaptic package manager. There is Blender, which is 3D software. Blender is available in synaptic (v2.59) or for the bleeding edge version you can visit their website for v2.61. There is also Alchemy, a concept art program, which you can get by googling "Alchemy program download"
Please help: i started luninux 11.11 as live dvd, and top of screen (where is calendar) is with errors, letters are blurry and it says that dock is failed to load.
there is dock only on right side, but there isn't any on bottom.
@SerbiaVlog I would check the md5 checksum to make sure that the dvd image isn't corrupted or faulty. If so download it again. Just google search to find out how.
Now that is cool! Is there a list, rather than just a forum, anywhere on the site for this software (or any linux graphics software) which divulges linux driver supported graphics tablets and/or dgital capture pens? I've seen win/mac/chrome os supported digital notetaking pens like those on the UK maplin website (code n18jx or n20jx) but linux is where it is at and would love to see drivers for tablets/pens/microsoft surface camera capture style devices. Tablets would be the best thing mind you.
@TableWolfMusic Hmmm...I guess the only solution would be to just spend a bit of time googling. I do have a graphics tablet but it worked out of the box on Ubuntu...so unfortunately I can't be of much help. Sorry....
@TehHumblePie Go into your synaptic and check if you have xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed. If it is go into your terminal and type this: xsetwacom list reply or not whether you see something like this:
Free software has almost come to the point where you don't need to spend money on either Photoshop, Fireworks or Maya to work professional. In linux I use a timeline animation software called Pencil. It's like Window's Jasc Animation Pro . Btw, their software were amazing before Corel bought them.
I still prefer Photoshop over Gimp though. Photoshop has more 1 click fix solutions that will take 3 or 4 steps in Gimp. Blender works fine for 3d animation, but I prefer Maya for the same reason.
This video has a persistent audio whine in the bkgrd that your other videos usually don't. Still a great review, and looks like a cool app!

@polutrapans My apologies, experimenting with a different mic to try and alleviate having to record the audio separately and edit it in.

For vector editing there's Inkscape.
