Inkscape is a vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to those of Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Xara X. Inkscape supports advanced features for manipulating Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files, including markers, clones, and alpha blending, within a streamlined interface. It lets you easily edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps, and much more.
An easy to use cross-platform panoramic imaging toolchain based on the Panorama Tools project (see http://panotools.sourceforge.net/). With hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.
GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition, and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, or an image format converter. GIMP is expandable and extensible. 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.
OpenOffice.org is the leading open source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, and databases.

Seashore is an open source image editor for Mac OS X's Cocoa framework. It features gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes. It supports multiple layers and alpha channel editing. It is based around the GIMP's technology and uses the same native file format. However, unlike the GIMP, Seashore only aims to serve the basic image editing needs of most computer users, not to provide a replacement for professional image editing products. Seashore was created by Mark Pazolli who, together with a handful of other developers and helpful users, still develops it to this day.
Ghostscript is a package of software that provides an interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the ability to convert PostScript language files to many raster formats, view them on displays, and print them on printers that don't have PostScript language capability built in. An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with the same abilities. The ability to convert PostScript language files to PDF (with some limitations) and vice versa and a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics and filtering (data compression / decompression / conversion) capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language and in PDF. Ghostscript is written entirely in C, with special care taken to make it run properly on a wide variety of systems, including MS Windows, Apple MacOS, the wide variety of Unix and Unix-like platforms and VMS systems.
