Jolie O’Dell presents a great round up of Photoshop alternatives with Free Alternatives to Photoshop With All the Bells, Whistles, Filters, & Layers. Each tool, like Splashup and The GIMP was tested with the same photo and given a numerical rating compared to Photoshop (Photoshop being a 10). The alternatives keep getting better with age!
TypeTester.org is an easy to use online tool that helps you set up your site’s type. Work with three columns simultaneously to test fonts, sizes, styles and color combinations. Your changes show up instantly!
How many times have you stared at a font wishing the name would pop into your head? The font identifier tool at www.Identifont.com can save you a lot of frustration. Say you have the logo for “Widgicorp Inc.” but you can’t quite identify the font being used. Type in the letters you have to go on, then answer a series of questions. I’ve found Identifont to be pretty accurate. Now all we need is Identicash to find some money for buying that font!
