The open source community The GIMP have been working hard to develop a polished, user-friendly, and freely distributed image editor. Gimp's interface is divided into seperate windows so you can move them around to your ultimate desire. As with any complex software there is a learning curve but it has a good community support and is well worth the time. Gimp remains has one of the most powerful image editors around. The lastest version pushs this software even further into the top tier and is very comparable to photoshop. You will find it has most of the same features and is organized rather nicely. The application provides professional tools that can stand against the big boys without the hefty price tag. Even the installation process has gotten simpler over the years. Extremely powerful and easy to work with, GIMP is ideal for both amateur and pro photographers, Web designers, or anyone who wants to create and edit professional-quality digital images on a budget.

TortoiseSVN is a really easy Revision control/version control/source control software for Windows.
Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE or interface you can use it with whatever development tools you like.
TortoiseSVN is free to use. You don't need to get a loan or pay a full years salary to use it. I have been using this software for about 2 years and it has saved my but numourous time. I just role back revisions when my release doesn't go right. It also has a excellent difference viewer so that i can figure out what went wrong with my recent changes. Whether its a simple html website or a full blow development project this stuff is a must. Check it out here for windows: 
If your not a windows user or wish to run a server version go here to learn more:

Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. Eclipse has a huge support community consisting of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities, research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse platform. I have been a professional PHP programmer for 3 years and this remains my central tool for developing PHP. While eclipse was created to develop java the extensive support allows this IDE/platform to be used simply for everything. I highly recommend this software for simple or complex projects. Plus its completely free to use Check it out here:  |
