could someone give me a list of some good graphics programs for linux
the ones I know of are gimp, pixel, gimpshop, inkscape, cinepaint,
paint.net, pixie.
so any programs that I did not list here that are good please let me
know and out of the ones I have listed do you know which one is the
best one meaning that it has more tools and other things to manipulate
images. I know you can use the least photoshop through wine by
installing it in windows and then running it through wine but I would
rather use open source software only.

for calibration under linux I use spyder pro and I use LPROF to be
able to use the icc profiles that spyder pro makes. does any body know
of any other ways to calibrate under linux like other programs and the
likes?

It depends. GIMP certainly has lots of available plug-ins to allow you to
do nearly anything - for example there is a plug-in for converting color
to monochrome - using 17 different methods.

I shoot raw files with my Kodak P850 - I generally do the initial
processing using ufraw - there is usually no need for anything else.
