If you use Linux, you probably use the GIMP at least for simple photo touch ups. If you’re looking to move beyond the default functions of the GIMP, or if you just want to add some handy dandy new features to your favorite photo editor, this cool list of 40 plus plugins will make you very happy, indeed.

Some of the ones on the list I’d like to try out:

• Snow: Generate realistic 3D snow. Caution: Requires large amount of memory and swap memory.
• Aqua Bou: Create web buttons in ‘Aqua Bou’ style easily.
• SaveForWeb: Find optimal compromise between minimal file size and acceptable quality of image quickly. Useful for designers.
