When do I need to create images?
How can these tasks be classified?
What are good tools on Ubuntu for performing these tasks?

Inkscape is a vector graphics drawing program
It's designed for vector graphics
My use cases
Creating diagrams for teaching and scientific reports
Gimp is a image editing program similar to photo shop
For most of my use cases, it's probably overkill.
Pinta
A simple image editing program
It is good when you want to do simple edits on an image
rotating, flippping
resizing, changing file format between formats such as jpeg, bmp, png, and tiff, and changing compression
cropping
basic image manipulation such as colour levels, conversion to black and white
basic editing actions, such as adding text
My use cases
Crop a screenshot
ImageMagick
Command-line tool for converting image file formats
It is particularly suited to batch conversion of multiple images
It can be used as part of a script or a makefile
Eye of Gnome
This appears to be the default viewer on Ubuntu 11.04
It is good for
Browsing photos or other images in a folder
Viewing a single image file
Rotating and flipping
