==Drawing and Image Editing==
Freeware and shareware for picture editing: 

*[http://gimp.org/ GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program] &mdash; Open source, free, available for Mac, PC, Linux, etc.  Allows quite a bit of editing and drawing; '''highly recommended'''.
*[http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/index.html XnView] &mdash; Excellent for image viewing and editing, and format conversion.
*[http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/?Easy%20Thumbnails=2800 EasyThumbnails] from Fookes Shareware (just like it says, great to create thumbnails in batches.)
*[http://www.photofiltre.com/ PhotoFiltre] &mdash; Mostly useful for photos, allows retouching and post-production filters.

Not freeware or shareware, but darn affordable:
