Usually I do all my stuff with Photoshop, Dreamweaver and maybe some Fireworks. But, since the “rules” (what douche came up with those) say no paid software my suite tools (like creative suite – bad pun) are out the window.

So, here’s what I’m using:

Graphics: Paint.NET (check it out) w/ PSD Plugin (check it out too) & Editable Text Plugin (def. check this out) or Adobe Photoshop 30 Day Trial (check it out)

HTML: Notepad++ (check it out) & lightly KomPozer for visual editing (check it out)

Mindmaps: Freemind (check it out)

Process Maps: Microsoft Visio 2010 Beta (check it out)

FTP: Filezilla (check it out)

Audio: Audacity (check it out)

Video: Camtasia Free 30 Day Trial (check it out)

Affiliate Management: JAM by JROX (check it out)
