I figure I'd open this up because there are a number of awesome open-source image creation and editing softwares around that noone seems to know about...post your own if you find some...

Modelling-
~Blender(3ds max/Maya)- an awesome 3d modeling and animation tool, the interface is a bit unlike the normal modellers, but it certainly is possible to create quality models with it.[Windows, Mac, Linux]

Image Editing(Photoshop/PSP)-
~The GIMP- forget the low cost alternative of Paint Shop Pro...how about the no cost alternative? The GIMP offers everything that Photoshop has to offer: layers, filters, image creation, manipulation, as well as many of the plug-ins that you would have to buy to get(such as the fractal makers FractFlame and FractExplorer). Must also download GTK for it to work properly. [Windows, Mac, Linux]

~Irfanview- a fairly popular and useful image viewer that can be used to manipulate images, but it's major selling point is the amount of different file formats that can be used(such as icon and animated cursor formats) and it's speed.[Windows]

Landscape Renders(Bryce)-
~Terragen is a software that is free for non-commercial use. I debated whether putting this one up or not because it's truly not freeware, but still it's good software. This is a very good program for creating realistic landscape renders. It's also quite easy to use. [Windows, Mac]

Fractals-
~Tierazon is a good program for creating abstract fractals. The software used to be freeware, and still is, but he's started having people pay money to keep his server online. However, it is still possible to find the freeware installer.[Windows]

~Gnofract 4D has similar features to Tierazon plus a few. I've never used this one, although it looks good.[Linux, ports to Mac]

~Apophysis is a very good freeware frax flame editor and renderer.[Windows]

~ Quat is a 3d fractal making program that can be made to create quality images.[Windows, Linux]

~Note: The GIMP(mentioned earlier) can also be used to make fractals.

Other Stuff-
~and for those who like to mess with audio, Audacity[Windows, Mac, Linux] is great for sound manipulation, and Anvil Studio[Windows] is about as good as it gets freeware-wise in the composition department.

~Messengers
Trillian[Windows] a very good all in one messenger, GaIM[Windows, Linux] is another.

~Spyware and Antivirus
AVG[Windows] or Clamwin[Windows] both very good virus removers and shields. I'd also recommend Lavasoft's Ad-aware[Windows] and Ccleaner[Windows] for other various errors and spyware removal.

Have fun!

Let's not forget other tools which might not be related so closely to Caedes...

Mozilla Firefox - the best web browser out there; more secure, faster, easier to use, and better for the web than Internet Explorer. Get it now if you haven't yet, and you'll never go back.

CDex - A great CD extractor program to make your CDs digital.

Ogg Vorbis - An audio codec, like MP3, except much much higher quality and free of any licensing fees or restrictions. CDex comes with the ability to make Ogg Vorbis files

Winamp - The best all-around audio player for windows. Plays all formats, even videos.

And for those of us who are really nerdy, Gentoo Linux - the most diverse, powerful, and coolest Linux distribution out there.

There is so much more out there; check out Sourceforge for most of it. And if you didn't get it from my sig and from the first item, go get Firefox already! :)

I posted this on another forum and thought I should add it here:

The "Exif Image Viewer", displays the EXIF data your camera encodes during shooting.

The screenshot shows pretty well how it works. Details mode allows you to sort by different exif fields which can be handy. At the bottom of that page is an explorer shell extension that creates a tooltip of exif data when browsing in explorer, which can be really useful as well.

Too late. I handed in the school project today. I used The Print Shop to design the cards, but then it occured to me that it was engineered for making many copies of one design instead of one copy of many designs. My partner and I exported them as images and then arranged them in Word to be printed on card stock. I think it worked out rather well, but I spent over 8 hours staring at a computer screen yesterday. Thanks for the help, though.

We mustn't forget RawShooter, the RAW image manipulation program. Technically you're supposed to pay for it, but there is no price mentioned on the website. I think they're trying to build a user base before they start charging. For now, though it's free, and MAN! Can you do stuff with it!!! It takes those RAW format images, and lets you change the camera settings after you shoot the photo. What a rush!

Somone in here mentioned OpenOffice.org and I have to say it works excelently.

I use Linux now more than I do Windows, and also set my home network up as a linux network, so Knowing some Open-Source software is a must :)

Also, for any of you who also use Linux, even though Apophysis is only for Windows, WINE handles Apophysis very very well. In most cases, it works faster for me.
--for those of you who don't know what WINE is, WINE is basically an emulator for windows apps (I know it's not actually an emulator, but for a good explainations sake, I'll describe it as one).

If any of you are interested in looking at some other open source software that may not necessarily be just for linux, take a look at Gentoo Portage's website and click "Browse portage". It will show you a list of open source softwares, including games and various applications, along with the homepages of their developers.

Announcing the "FREE" release of MICROSOFT Programming Packages .. (Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions)

per this Download Page

Quote:

Visual Studio Express is free for one year

Until November 7, 2006, we are promotionally discounting the downloadable versions of Express to free. This doesn’t mean that the product turns off after a year, but rather that as long as you download the product before November 7, 2006, you can get it for free and you can use it forever.

The FAQs for these packages

and ... from what I understand the above download link is "Direct Install From the Web" .. If you'd prefer to archive and install at your leisure .. use THIS PAGE

note: .. spotted this at Octopus Overlords

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I, of course, know nothing of this programming mumbo jumbo, can't teach an old dog new tricks .. My idea of programming is that I Love Lucy comes on after Laverne & Shirley ... so I leave you with this view of things free

The .. SmartCurve .. plugin from EasyFilter was developed for Photoshop Elements as a compensation for the missing Curves command, but you can use it in Photoshop and other applications, too. It supports RGB and Grayscale images with 8 and 16 bit color depth, displays a histogram and an Auto correction button.

Here is a program that people wanting avatars (their way) might appreciate. It will turn any picture on your hard drive into an avatar with sizes up 150x150 (just a 50x50 is what we need here at Caedes). This little wonder can turn just about anything into a little icon. So for those of you interested....................

Free Domain

These dudes give you a free domain name for your webpage! Whats the catch? Well the blahblah.CO.NR and the fact that you have to put a link from your webpage to theirs (its like a 30x10px button). The way around the problem number 2? Just put a lotta br's and make it way off the screen so no1 sees it. =P For example of a webpage that uses this: Here.

One more thing, all this thingdoes is forward users when they type in blahblah.co.nr to another webhosting site. They dont actually host for you (i dont think). Like on that one link i gave, that site is hosted on geocities, little do you know that that is true. =P

Btw, i made that longer than it shoulda been.
