GIMP is another free image editing software tool. It is more advanced than Paint.Net, if you need the added funcationality, and it supports linux as well as Mac OS X in addition to the standard Windows.

GIMP, is a full featured image editing application, supporting layers, plug-ins, as well as standard features for editing your images. Standard editing tools include perspective fixing, wide range of image reading and writing, photo editing, and more.  So it is full of strength.

Unfortunately, it is not as easy to use as some other tools. However, some people have added plugins and skins to make it easier to use.  Well look at those shortly.

If you are working on brainstorming ideas, using a “Mind Map” tool is often a great tool to see how things interrelate to one anonther.

Here is a tool I found recently Mind Node , which works on the Macs for developing Mind Maps. Designed to be simpler to use, it might provide what you need if your looking for an easy to use tool.

Mind Node has a free as will as a paid ($14.95) version. Something to look at if you run OS X (10.5 or greater is required).
