Mediachance

The Mediachance site is a source for some nice photo & graphics related software. Although I haven't applied it yet to astronomical subjects I have been using Photobrush for a long time now on general photography to good effect. It boots very quickly and is optimized for painting effects onto areas of an image and much else. It also allows the use of Photoshop plug-ins....Real Draw is a nice piece of software for easily producing some classy graphics and there are some useful freebies & plug-ins to be found as well....Website is here.
