Cairo supports defining paths and then drawing/filling them. This 
is all you need for basic 2D images, no? Well, then you can embed 
other pictures/framebuffers and clip/transform them. There is no 
photoshop-filter like effects, though. What do you expect?

Cairo also has some naive text support, but you probably want to 
use Pango for text, which is closely integrated with Cairo.

I used Cairo (via GtkD) to produce pdf documents. The pdf and png 
backends are probably pretty unique for a graphics 2D library. 
Most just target a screen.
