Title:
  Gimp's description is too confusing

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Fix Released
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gimp” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  Here's The Gimp description in the software center:

  "GIMP lets you draw, paint, edit images, and much more! GIMP includes
  the functionality and plug-ins of other famous image editing and
  processing programs.

  If you'd like to be able to open files remotely (like over HTTP or
  FTP), install the gvfs-backends package.

  If you'd like to use a MIDI device as an input controller in GIMP,
  install libasound2 and read the how-to at
  /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

  If you'd like to be able to read and write PostScript files from GIMP,
  install the ghostscript package."

  As you can see, the majority of the text is geeky.

  [Suggested description]
  -----
  GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance,
  and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images.
  Lots of tools are available; you can sharpen and resize photos, and
  remove dust and red-eyes, for example.

  It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and
  filters, similar to the ones you might find in PhotoShop. Numerous
  fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and
  scripting give you total control over your images.

  Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, PhotoShop (.psd),
  and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print
  photos.
