We are big fans of free, open-source alternatives to brand-name software, and one of the best examples of this is
GIMP, the full-featured Photoshop rival. Like any good forward-thinking software project, GIMP has a plugin architecture which allows for any shortcomings or missing features to be remedied by a helpful developer taking the time to create the necessary add-in. techZilo has compiled a
handy list of its top 40+ plugins for GIMP including "Snow" (just in time for winter!), "RedEye," and "Light Filter."
Installing the plugins on Linux will require the use of your trusty terminal, and some plugins even require running install scripts (new Linux users will probably want to consult the
GIMP docs for help). If you're running GIMP on Windows, you'll have to look for a precompiled version of the plugins you want since most GIMP plugins are uncompiled code that your Windows machine will not understand.
GIMP is available for Linux and Windows, and also for Mac OS X via Darwinports or Fink (so you would follow the plugin installation instructions for Linux).
