Editing Images

Part of good web design is having the resources to effectively edit images.

The industry standard is Adobe Photoshop, however it is a very expensive program.  Nevertheless, Adobe provides a “Try It” download version.  You can install and use it without limitation for 30 days.  The same is true for Dreamweaver.  You can get both at http://www.adobe.com/download.

A free open-source editor that is similar to Photoshop is GIMP: http://www.gimp.org
