I suggest gimp to edit image in ubuntu. it is more powerful compare to kolourpaint. to install gimp you have to run below command in terminal. you no more need to add ppa for installing gimp. you can look more details at
sudo apt-get install gimpI am using Kolourpaint and its great one!
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kolourpaintVery useful and simple screenshot utility is deepin-screenshot
sudo apt install deepin-screenshotIt is much alike as Lightshot app on Mac and Windows you can freely select and edit screenshot area.
Shutter is great!
But the "edit" option is somehow disable after installing. To re-enable it, follow the quick solution here:
I have found ksnip - very good screenshot tool with edit and annotate features, that available on Linux/Windows/MacOS! It have classic user interface, based on Qt, and all modern features, such as editing, cropping, annotate with arrows and text (with allow to drag/edit later), upload to imgur.com, etc.
For a long time, SHUTTER has been a grest screenshot editor+ in LINUX.
But, PhotoScape (3.7) installed in wine, is much better than SHUTTER in many functions.
Who once experenced PhotoScape (3.7) should never use again SHUTTER.
I strongly recommend to replace SHUTTER with PhotoScape (3.7).installed in wine.
To download PhotoScape (3.7) go to
