Photoshop is a raster graphic editor. Ubuntu has Gimp and Krita
PageMaker and QuarkXPress are both desktop publishing applications. It's interesting you mentioned those because Adobe InDesign is currently a clear leader among commercial applications in this area. Open-source equivalents are Scribus, KWord and (to some extent) Lyx
CorelDraw is a vector editor. In Ubuntu, Inkscape provides similar functionality.
These are the best alternatives to the softwares you have listed above:
1) CorelDraw - Inkscape, Xara Xtreme and Scribus (for desktop publishing only)
2) Pagemaker - Scribus, Lucidpress and Spring Publisher
3) Photoshop - GIMP, Krita, CinePaint and Pinta
4) Quark Express - Same alternatives as Pagemaker and probably CorelDraw too.
Source: I manage a website which publishes free and open source alternatives to commercial softwares so I have to research about lot of softwares. You can check it here.
I would also like to add MyPaint as an alternative to Gimp and Krita for raster painting. And though a bit dated at this point Xara Extreme is an alternative to Inkscape for Vector Graphics. Still perfectly usable for most tasks.
... Scribus for page layout. Not exactly pagemaker though, probably better. Not sure how it compares these days to Quark these days. Or InDesign for that matter.
