Creating and Editing Templates

Image Editing

GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) (wiki). Open source, cross platform. Can do most anything Photoshop can (in the right hands). Make sure you install the GTK+ libraries first.

Paint.NET (wiki) is based on the .NET Framework by Microsoft. Some call it what MSPaint should have been.

Obsolete info

  • Store Templates to use so that you don't have to type in the names off all the enhancements a store sells
