This will make Gimp, Inkscape and Scribus better to compete with the Adobe Creative Suite.
Because of a unified look and feel it will be easier to work with the programs.

To accomplish this the developers of the programs need to work together.
Maybe the developers can get help from universities who are working with graphic software.

A software composed by different modules: a viewer, bitmap editor, vector editor, desktop publishing, web creator, and so on. The user chooses which modules wants to install or use by the time he/she opens a file or creates a new project.

I'm not sure if one already exists, so bear with me.

One of the problems I believe is keeping programs from unifying is the lack of a recommended UI design. People start making projects and just throw buttons at it whenever they need a new feature. Over time the layout becomes caotic and a huge mess, so the project enters a "fix-it" stage where the UI is redone and made more functional.

The problem is that each project is doing this individually and only taking small hints from other projects. If there were a simple, elegant and extendable layout and scheme for gnome, or linux for that matter, it would help the projects in the "fix-it" stage to evolve into having similarly designed UIs.

What we need is that simple, elegant yet extensible layout design and a group of people (or projects) to start pushing it.

When you have a large screen with a scribus or inkscape window maximized, a menu bar that's not on the top screen edge becomes inconvenient. While ubuntu isn't likely to default to a global menu for a variety of reasons, it's a crucial part of the professional workflow --ask any graphic designer who uses a Mac Pro with a Cinema display.

for dialog use by inkscape, gimp, and other applications. Few end users use tiling window managers on their desktops, but GIMP developers seem to expect them to. Speaking as an xmonad user, this is ridiculous.

I like each of the applications individually but it's a pain having to learn and remember a different set of keyboard shortcuts all of the time.

Adding an option to overwrite the keyboard shortcut for common tools (move, eyedropper, paint bucket etc) with a unified set would be very useful.

i would rename 'documentation for the GIMP' to 'GIMP help'.

this change will position the software directly beneath the GIMP programme, which makes it easier to find. no need to scroll down in the list. simply grouped together.

Documentation has no place in a menu designed for applications. Remove the item and link to documention in GIMP itself.

Packages like this that are documentation or extensions to a particular package should be grouped under the package and probably hidden by default. Then when you select a package, show the list of sub-packages with checkboxes so you can select the options you want to install at the same time.

To encourage open source web projects and also Ubuntu my idea was making an special version of the GIMP for basic lay-outs. That has integration of some of the free PHP projects on the Internet.
They would get a basic template, and some buttons for say scripts or pages. In this way the user would only need to make a new lay-out and he/she can use some good working scripts without much effort. This will increase the user base of Ubuntu and it would also improve the quality of open source web projects.

The GIMP's developers are in the process of switching the GIMP's graphics engine to GEGL, a "graph based image processing framework". When that is complete, they plan to implement CMYK support using GEGL.

There are a lot of simple image tools in Linux:
- gnu paint,
- tux paint - program for children (http://www.tuxpaint.org/)
- Kolour Paint (I like this one it looks just like Microsoft Paint, but more powerful).

mtpaint (http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/ ) fits the bill quite nicely of a paint program for the casual user, but it just requires a bit more desktop integration to enable e.g. pasting from the clipboard.
