There are three graphics applications that ship with Ubuntu.

1) Eye of Gnome, an image viewer
2) F-spot, an image browser and simple editor
3) GIMP, a full-featured image editor

I'm in favor of EoG staying as simple as possible, but adding a button to launch GIMP and load the file from EoG wouldn't be too bad. I suspect that most people working with photos only want to do simple things like crop, rotate, adjust the colors, etc. The perfect application for doing this is gThumb. It's a shame Ubuntu stopped shipping it by default in favor of F-spot.

gThumb is still included by default.

Make gthumb the default image viewer instead of eye of gnome.
