So, you want to become a digital artist but paying several
hundred dollars for Photoshop seems too much. Don't worry, there
are dozens of very inexpensive tools you can use available on
the Internet.
Icon Constructor
Icon Constructor converts BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PSD, TGA and TIFF
formats into Windows icons. You can find many images on the
Internet and convert them to icons for use on your Windows
desktop, in applications and much more. The program supports
Windows XP icons in 32-bit color depth with an alpha channel;
now you can create semi-transparent XP icons easily. With just a
few clicks, any image you find on the Internet or create in a
paint program can be turned into an icon. Plus, proprietary
FriendlyLINK technology allows creating icons using pictures of
your friends and family.

Pics Print
Pics Print has a built-in photo editor that lets you crop,
resize, rotate, and color-correct images. Users who enjoy adding
artistic effects to their photos can blur, emboss, and sharpen
the images, add borders, and produce an unlimited variety of
creative touches. There is even a red-eye remover that takes out
the red circles that the camera's flash often adds to portraits.
You can create instant greeting cards with Pics Print's card
wizard. Simply select an image, add text, and print. Using the
built-in templates, or templates which you create yourself, you
can create family album pages, sales sheets, and any kind of
printed pages in just a few minutes. In addition to that, Pics
Print lets you create huge posters that are up to 20 sheets tall
and 20 sheets wide.

Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker
Why let the record studio artists have all the fun? Create your
own CD/DVD labels and jewel cases with the ultimate in ease and
flexibility. If you have CDs or DVDs with no cover and are sick
of guessing what songs are on what CD, get the label maker that
automatically puts your track list on your CD/DVD label.
Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker comes with a chock full of custom
art for holidays and special occasions like Christmas,
Valentines, birthdays, vacations, weddings and more. You don't
need to be a real artist or designer to user the software.
The software automatically imports your track information from
Acoustica MP3 CD Burner, iTunes, WinAmp, Easy CD Creator or any
other popular play list or previously burnt CD. Print the cover
on standard paper or stock sticker labels and jewel case
templates for more professinal-looking results.
