This program is a professional, yet easy to use tool for designing and
retouching
icons, cursors, animations and static images, and assembling
icon libraries.
This program is an easy to use but powerful font manager, which allows you
getting a quick
overview of both installed and non installed fonts. It can install
and uninstall fonts,
and organize them in categories. Some of its features are:
Supports TrueType and OpenType fonts.
Supports Type1 fonts.
Installation of fonts from a folder (one by one or from a list).
Installation of fonts temporally (until the program is closed).

Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT for short) is a free image optimizer that will let you to visually adjust compression parameters while keeping minimum filesize. It uses with a side by side (dual view) or single view interface to compare the original with the optimized image in real time and instantly see the resulting file size.
Main features:
open many image types including rare/scientific types
save and optimize JPEG, GIF and PNG with a simple, clean user interface
works in dual view: (original – optimized image) or single view (optimized image). Automatic preview of resulting image
in-place compare function (alternativelly display the original image over the optimized image to notice small pixel changes)
compress files to desired filesize threshold
fast processing (all is done in memory); see instant results including resulting filesize
batch support (process multiple files at once)
transparency handling options
decide if you want to keep metadata (comments, IPTC, Adobe XMP, EXIF profiles, ICC profiles).
Unsupported metadata is removed
transfer metadata between image formats (destination format must support them)
visually reduce number of unique colors for PNG and GIF images in order to reduce filesize
(two quantization methods are available: Xiaolin Wu and NeuQuant neural net)
resize image by using well known resample filters (ex: Lanczos3, Catmull Rom, Bicubic, and others)
out-of-the-box support for external PNG optimizers (optipng, pngout, etc)
the compression and the results are comparable to those of commercial products, even higher.
Adaptive logarithmic tone mapping algorithm (Drago) used for HDR images
PicPick is provided as freeware for only personal use.

Installation InstructionsAnim8or
is very simple to install and run. It is composed of a single
executable file that can be put anywhere on your disk. I have
plans to add a plug-in capability sometime in the future, but for now,
at least, life is simple:
Download
the latest version of the Anim8or program in the file animv095.zip.
Optionally
download the PDF Anim8or user manual in the file animv095dPDF.zip ..
Unzip
them into your target directory.
Run
the file anim8or.exe.
That's all
there is to it. (If you've never heard of
a "zip" file is, see the comments below.)
Activepixels is a neat full-featured photo editor. Interesting auto
enhance options (including shadow/hilight recovery), many filters,
correction and denoise settings.
