Paint Final graduation project for a college senior class mentored by the Microsoft Corporation which
boasts many of the same features and special effects as the very pricey Photoshop software
package. We actually built our Jamrock Entertainment Logo using this free software. Useful for
both computer graphic and digital photos. Supports layer capabilities. A bit of a learning curve.
Check out our personal favorite features.....the magic wand selection tool, and artistic special
effects (stylize, blur, red-eye removal).
GIMP Developed in Europe as an alternative freeware version for the Photoshop program. Very useful for
digital photo retouching and image authoring. Supports layer capabilities. A bit of a learning curve.
Lots of special artistic features.
MANAGING YOUR DIGITAL MUSIC LIBRARY
Media Monkey The program that Jamrock Entertainment uses to organize our 70,000 song plus music database.
Free personal use and paid professional versions are available for download. This is extremely
powerful software to batch edit tags and manage your own personal digital music collection.
COMPUTER PRODUCTIVITY AND PROTECTION
Active @ Data Recovery NOT FREE but very reasonably priced and excellent to have on-hand in case of a computer
emergency. This software saved our business when our main back-up drive crashed and we lost
over 50 gigabytes of music and most of our web site. This data recovery program does exactly what
it says it will, and even restores folder structure to your hard drive (it doesn't just recover files for
you- it restores the original hard-drive structure). We simply can not say enough great things about
this software product.
Ad-Aware Very popular free program that removes spy ware from your personal computer. Free versions
and professional versions are available. If you have never used software like this – try it- and
clean your personal computer up today! In many cases, home computers run noticeably faster
after unwanted spyware is removed.
