FREE SOFTWARE

Inkscape. Draw Freely.
A great open-source vector editing project similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X.

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program
The most powerful free photo editing software out there. Not only is it free, but is as full featured of an editing program that most amateur digital photographers would use. Works with most OSs.

Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing
Somewhere in between GIMP and Paint. In other words, it does everything you likely need it to do without any bloat. Works on Windows.

Photo Friday: Monitor Calibration Tool
This image should help you adjust your monitor's brightness and contrast for optimal viewing of graphics.

Jon, I hate to nitpick, but Paint.NET isn't open source, it's freeware.

Hey, so.... HOW is a design magazine and company, and they put on a conference every year that is uh-mazing from what I've heard. My coworker went this year, and loved it. They make the handouts available from the sessions on their site, so here you go:
