Brilliant site where I get all my fonts , just thought I might add it/

edit : maybe www.blender3d.org aswell

CuLT

Cheers guys.

billstraighten: tbh, that list is so bad you may as well not have posted anything at all. I mean, really, can you not spend the time and effort to post a set of links that are actually usefulll? Perhaps categorise them and include descriptions?

At any rate, I don't have many right now, but at least I can verify they're useful. There's more scattered around my different machines; hopefully I can locate more

Stock Photos
http://photocase.com - Mostly german site, but you can get by with just English

You sign up for an account and get three free downloads every day. If you don't use them in 24 hours, you lose them. For the most part, very high quality photos.

http://morguefile.com/ - Nice photo site, but the part I like is the classroom

http://pixelperfectdigital.com/ - undergoing a redesign currently, but you can still grab images. Decent selection, but mostly abstract photos.

http://www.openphoto.net/ - An ok site, not as high quality as some of the others, but highly classified by section.

Fonts
25+ Best License-Free Quality Fonts - Kickass list of fonts with links

I forgot, if anyone needs patterns here's "THE" website http://www.squidfingers.com/patterns/

Color Schemer Gallery - very handy site with predefined color schemes. Nicely tagged so you can pick from something in real life, say iPods, and get their related scheme.

Also, GimpShop - add to The Gimp to make it look more like Adobe Photoshop (Still doesn't work like it.. *grumble*

I recomend photoshoptv.com
http://www.photoshoptv.com/
subscribe to the podcasts.
It's a video podcast with a load of tips and advice on Photoshop, various websites that are usefull etc.
Really handy for those of us new to this lark

Painting:

- MSPAINT

- Corel Painter (IX) - quite possibly the most powerful Natural-Media software out there.

- ArtRage (2) - Wonderful UI, and FUN! Free version available & the full version is a mere $19.95US

- TuxPaint- GPL (Free!) Painting app. aimed specifically at younger computer users.

It goes without saying that each can be used with a mouse, but for full benefits a graphics tablet is desirable

CuLT

Image hosting

- http://wthax.org - set up myself, should be going as long as boards.ie is

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/12/13/adobe-cs2-and-the-case-of-the-disappearing-thumbnails/

This fix brings back the .psd support for thumbnails in windows so you can preview you photoshop files just like a jpeg or gif etc...

(if your are currently using ps7 (or earlier) or had it previously installed you will have this anyway , but after that version adobe removed it due to issues)

!!WARNING!!
Read what it says on the page first , this can screw up your computer in the process ,though it is rare , it can happen so don't forget a system restore point before installing and restart the computer afterwards. I have installed it and so far have had no issues with it but I can't guarantee the same for you and I will take no responsibility for anything that happens to your computer.

101 Photoshop Tips

Lett

i see blender is mentioned, heres a couple similar free programs, still in beta:

MoI

3D Modeling for Designers and Artists.
Powerful, accurate, yet easy to use!MoI’s sleek intuitive UI blends a fluid easy workflow with powerful tools, making it the perfect choice for someone who has been frustrated with the complexity of existing CAD tools.
MoI is also a fantastic complementary tool for a polygon-based artist since its CAD toolset and advanced boolean functions enable extremely rapid creation of mechanical or man-made type “hard surface” models. The icing on the cake is MoI’s unique polygon mesh export that generates exceptionally clean and crisp N-Gon polygon meshes from CAD NURBS models.

Wings 3d

Wings 3D is a subdivision modeler inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware.
It is possible to assign materials, vertex color, UV coordinates and textures, but there will be improvements in those features before Wings goes 1.0.

Just came across this

nice basic clone of Photoshop for anyone looking to experiment!

Serif 6:
http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/default.asp

It's free and it's a really good image editor etc. far better than the GIMP in my opinion...

Resources have three main characteristics: utility, quantity (often in terms of availability), and use in producing other resources. However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.
The quantity of a resource refers to the total amount of a given raw material, rather than reserve which is an economic term.I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/URL][/I Bottlenecks may form, making some resources unavailable, producing supply shocks. Resource prices are prone to increases as speculators add commodity value to a resource or when risk, such as from geopolitical issues, are seen as an influencing factor in relation to the security of resource supply.
Resources are those things that can be physically combined to produce goods.
