There are now a variety of open source multimedia software programs which can be freely and legally installed on all computers at school and at home. I would include the audio editing program Audacity in this list of “standard install” software programs, as well as the open source image editing software program “The Gimp.”

Macintosh users may want to use the alternative Gimp distribution “Seashore.” It is also free, and does not require technical skills

Picnik is a handy and free website which permits web-based image editing. Doug McIntosh has created the Visual Imagery Using Still Images workshop website addressing the basics of digital photography, visual literacy, and editing digital photos online using Picnik. Hat tip to Señorita Murrell for this link.

Picassa is a free image editor from Google which also allows users to perform a variety of basic image editing procedures, including resizing and cropping. Picassa runs as a client-side software program which must be downloaded and installed first, before using it. On Apple computers, iPhoto comes as a free, pre-installed software program and also offers robust image editing as well as organizational functionality.
