Depends, what kind of images you are talking about. If they are data
based (graphs, ...) I use R or GRASS (spatial data, GIS). For non-data
driven images, I use tikz (conceptual models) or PlantUML
[[http://plantuml.com/]] for different kinds of diagrams (uml, ...).

Thank there is obviously Inkscape and Scribus and GIMP as well.

Cheers,

Rainer
