Today I’m sharing something I found on tumbl’n teachers, a micro-blog that has become one of my favourite sources. I highly recommend subscribing to it. You might even want to consider becoming involved in contributing to it.
Freebyte’s Guide to Free Graphics Software offers an extensive collection of links to sites where free graphics-related software is available. This is free software for download and installation on your computer. (The site does not link to online applications.) The majority of programs listed run in Windows, but there are some for Mac and Linux.
The list of programs is organized helpfully by category, as illustrated in the screenshots below. The quality of the listed titles I am already familiar with is generally high, so I expect it will be worthwhile to explore more of the software listed here.

“Gizmo” Richards has some really useful utes and resources, too, via his newsletter. Freebyte may even be among the links. I haven’t checked these for ed uses, per se, but he often has basic, makes sense types of recommendations.

Thanks for these links! I’m sure they’ll be helpful. Is the overall collection of free resources in the ether growing exponentially? Or, am I just becoming more aware?

Hi any chance of a link to my new site http://www.freegraphicscentre.com
There are thousands of cost free graphics available for immediate download plus a very cheap subscription if you want much larger images.
Graphics include photos, logos,backgrounds,fractals,illustrations and vectors
The images would be great to use with the free software you are showing
Thanks
