I've been "collecting" free software for ages, and now I think it's time to start sharing the fun. Here's a list of come of my favorite software that you can have for FREE!
Graphics
GIMP - Adobe Photoshop-like image editor
Sumo Paint - Online Photoshop-like image editor

Inkscape - Adobe Illustrator-like vector editor
ColorPic - Color picker (i.e. "Gee, I want to use the color of her shirt" *uses ColorPic*)
Blender - 3D content creation
Desktop Apps
Freez Screen Video Capture - Take a video screenshot of anything you're doing
Handbrake - Converts DVD videos to computer formats
DVDVideoSoft - Converts pretty much anything, anywhere from YouTube to PSP to MP3.
Skype - Online phone and video calls
Plaxo - The ultimate online address book
Audio
Audacity - Incredible audio editor, plug-ins available
Juice - Organizes and captures your podcasts
EphPod - Similar to iTunes, but does more, including moving music from your iPod to a new computer!
WavePad - Audio editor (make sure you get the free version!)
Screamer Radio - Record internet radio in many different formats
Others
ADRIFT - Text/Interactive Fiction/Game generator

That's all for now. Have fun!

I've been collecting Photoshop tutorials for a while, and these are some of the best I've seen! If you don't have Photoshop, try out the GIMP. it's a free program that's very similar to Photoshop.
Here's my list:
How to draw hand-crafted pixel art
Create a digital camera with wooden accents
Create an ecological fairy tale wallpaper
Create a cartoon car similar to the Cars movie
Create a glass shatter effect
Make an egg planet
Super Easy Typographic Portrait
Design a grunge style portrait
Make an Avatar-style movie poster from your own photo
Create a stock photo orange drink
3D Car tutorial
Create cartoon characters
Defy Gravity
Again, if you don't have Photoshop, never fear!! I highly recommend the GIMP (click it to go to the homepage). It's absolutely free, and the tools in it are almost the same as Photoshop. If you need help learning how to use the GIMP, go to this website.
Have fun!

I found this and was very impressed. Pixlr is a sort of online Photoshop tool that lets you creat graphics and edit photos all online! There's no downloads required (however you can download one of their little applications to open images directly into it), and it's completely free! Pixlr "brings you advanced online image and photo editing tools, just choose your flavor, jump in and start creating!"
