One of the most popular pieces of free and open source software is Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It is the free and open source alternative to things like Adobe Photoshop. I've used Gimp for many years, even before I was a Linux user since Gimp is cross-platform, meaning it's available on Windows, Mac and Linux!
