You might also want to take a look at Krita (http://www.koffice.org/krita/ ).
Grab a livecd from somewhere that includes all of these and test them out, it won't cost you a dime (well, not counting the empty cd).
There's also a commercial photoshop-like program called Pixel ( http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12) that looks very promising, but it's still in beta.

Betreff: Re: QT: Looking for Corel Draw, Photoshop, DTP software for Linux?
Hi
Is the question "what is available?" or "how good are the programs?"
I find gimp robust and powerful enough for what I do.
Have a look at Lightzone http://www.sonic.net/~rat/lightcrafts/
It seems very powerful for photo purposes, and porpoises (you'll have to
do their tutorial to get the joke)
Some Windows programs work well under Wine (a way of running windows
programs in Linux). Expressions3 works. Artrage2 works but you have to
recompile Wine at the moment (thought I think the slightly crippled
freeware version is ok without doing so). You also have to pay for
Artrage but it's only 15 Euros and it's so totally brilliant you shouldn't
resist.
For vectors, apart from Expressions and the other freeware, I'm waiting
for Xara Xtreme linux version to come out (XaraLX?). It's currently being
developed. I haven't tried the betas.
That's all I know :-) oh there is a linux version of XNView. Not as good
as the Windows version unfortunately, unless it was updated recently.
