There is definate need for something more featured than the built-in capabilities for image manipulation.
But for 'sharing content on the fly' I have found the built-in editing to be usable and sufficient. In fact, the camera is good enough to replace a point and shoot in many situations.
As a side note, I was at a night time Santa Claus parade on the weekend, and noticed that the Guide Number of the flash is quite low, so night photography is limited.

The GIMP is mostly for bitmapped images, but there has been work done on getting it to do vector graphics as well. Not sure how well it will perform on the N900.
Wouldn't you want to do serious photo editing on a more powerful machine, like your desktop? There are tons of great photo handling applications for the desktop.
And I'm really manipulating photos with the Gimp...

Also, what about Picasa for Linux?
Would this be an easy port? Maybe obvious that Im not a Linux user - I know things are not so straight forward in this new world Im entering, so please set me straight!

Is there a free Linux tool to do that?
A lot of the popular apps on the iPhone are related to fun effects for the camera/existing pics on the phone. Android also has a few - polaroid type effects, etc.
While these things are far from essential, they are good fun, and Im hoping the N900 will have some similar stuff in the pipeline.
As far as proper colour correction etc, I would always stick to photoshop on my PC.
And iJanne, thats the collection I meant to graqb, thanks!
