WEB DESIGN and FREE PROGRAMMES

• KarriCountry Graham Evans Web design & training

• The Gimp 2.6 Gnu Image Manipulation Programme
  Originally a free Photoshop equivalent - With the 2.6 version GIMP is in many ways superior to Photoshop CS2 - Particularly GIMP's cropping tool which includes the option for precisely setting image aspect ratios and Golden Mean guides - I prefer the UFRaw RAW worksite to the Photoshop CS version
• Arachnophilia HTML programme. Arachnophila is the programme I use to write this website
