WEB DESIGN and FREE PROGRAMMES
- KarriCountry Graham Evans Web design & training
- CCC Tom Keller, designer
- The Gimp 2.4 Gnu Image Manipulation Programme
Originally a free Photoshop equivalent - but with the 2.4 version GIMP is in many ways now superior to Photoshop - particularly GIMP's cropping tool which includes the option for precisely setting image aspect ratios and Golden Mean guides - also I prefer the UFRaw RAW worksite to the Photoshop CS version - XnView a really good image catalogue and file programme with convenient batchworking tools
- Arachnophilia HTML programme
- FileZilla FTP programme
- OpenOffice.org 2 Beyond Microsoft Office - better and it's free!
- Mozilla Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email
- SCROOGLE search engine
