A Free Gift for You! Happy Holidays!

Box-icon

Today is Christmas Eve here in the U.S. It’s a very exciting day in our home. Our kids are up early, cleaning their rooms, all without any arguments. They are truly on their best behavior today. It’s not the norm trust me. Usually my wife and I get all kinds of grief when we make the kids do their chores. But I can tell they are both super excited for tomorrow to come.

For me, I find myself thinking about the past year, looking at my taxes, closing out another quarter and seeing some great progress in my business. I’m no online millionaire- -by far… but this year has been a great year. The business doubled last years earnings and I’m very excited and thankful.

In the spirit of the season, I want to thank everyone who stops by my blog and give you a special Christmas gift. This is from my latest product “Rockets to Success” where I interviewed 6 of the top product creation experts. I had a really great time talking with these guys and creating the product. I wanted to give you one of the interviews that are part of this as my way of saying Merry Christmas.

This interview is with Jason Fladlien and if you follow Jason’s advise that he gives in this interview I can guarantee you will have a prosperous new year!

No Photoshop? Don’t Worry Get Gimpy

paintbrush

paintbrushThis post is another in a series of posts I’m doing on free stuff! Every one loves free stuff and today I’m going to show you how to get some cool free image editing software.

Everyone who has ever setup a website or done any kind of work on the Internet has, at one time or another, needed a good image editor to either create a cool graphic or edit a cool graphic.  Whether you simply need to resize an image, crop an image or create an eye grabbing header, software tools like Adobe Photoshop are a necessity.  But what if you don’t have the $400 or so needed to buy the software?  Outside of piracy, what do you do?

Well, beleive it or not, there are some really great image editing software packages that are a great replacement to Photoshop and best of all these applications are free!!

The Gimp

The Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program) has been around for a really long time.  As long as I can remember, this open source application has been a great alternative to Windows based image editors.  Originally only available on  Linux and Unix, the Gimp is now available for Windows and Mac as well!  The Gimp supports a range of common file types like JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, PSD, TIFF to special use formats such as the multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files.  This tool is very similar to Photshop and most anyone familiar with Photoshop should have no trouble getting going with the Gimp.

Paint.net

Paint.net has been touted as an advanced replacment for Windows Paint program (which is almost useless).  Paint.net is another great free image manipulation software package that will allow you to do most any web graphics work you need for your website.   With supported files types such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TGA, DDS, and TIFF as well as its own PDN format to preserve layering similar to photoshop. Natively however Paint.net does not support PSD files. But never fear Paint.net does support plugins and there is a cool PSD plugin for Paint.net to give the needed PSD support.

There are more free image editors out there, but these are my two favorites.  I actually have all three loaded on my system as each one can do things a little easier than others in certain areas. Overall though if you can’t afford Photoshop there are alternatives out there that will get your website looking bright and shiney with the eye popping graphics we all love!
