Here are some reasonable free graphics tools. A larger list can be seen at Libre Graphics Meeting 2014 Leipzig.
- irfanview: is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer (MS Windows only)
- darktable: is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable light-table and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them. Said to be better than Adobe LightRoom. Runs on MacOSX and Linux.
- Entagle: provides a graphical interface for “tethered shooting”, aka taking photographs with a digital camera completely controlled from the computer.
- Inkscape: is professional quality vector graphics software which runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is used by design professionals and hobbyists worldwide, for creating a wide variety of graphics such as illustrations, icons, logos, diagrams, maps and web graphics.
- Open Font Library: promotes your freedoms as it relates to the use of type. All the fonts that appear on this site come with the freedom to use, study, share and remix them.
- Font Squirrel: Free fonts have met their match. We know how hard it is to find quality freeware that is licensed for commercial work. We've done the hard work, hand-selecting these typefaces and presenting them in an easy-to-use format.
- Scribus: is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to Linux, BSD UNIX, Solaris, OpenIndiana, GNU/Hurd, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4, eComStation, and Windows desktops with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design.
- GiMP: is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.
