while working on this site, two programs which are quite powerful and freely available were very helpful.
the first is 'the gimp', an image editor. in some ways it is similar to adobe photoshop, in others missing some of its features or being better than it. so if you have to create, manipulate or otherwise edit images or photographs on the computer then 'the gimp' is definitely worth a look.
the second is 'audacity' a simple and also freely available sound editor, which might be handy for recording and editing sounds and music or convert them for instance into the widely used mp3 format.
both programs are available for recent versions of either windows, the mac or linux. just click on the icons on the left to get more information about both projects.
