Master List of FREE Software for Photography

I am always reading, buried in different threads about a free piece of software. problem is I never, ever remember the thread it was in or write it down or bookmark it.

So I thought it would be a good idea to put together a single thread where people can share different free software/tools related to photography.

Please post directly with a link and a category it should be listed in, especially if I do not already have that specific category listed. I will try and update the list daily.

Raw Therapee is not a RAW viewer, Joe - it's an excellent, full-featured RAW converter.

Can I suggest two categories? Raw Viewers and Raw Converters?

As it is now, it looks like RT is a converter and a viewer - it would be an awful RAW viewer!

the lightsright.comhas plenty of incredible LR, ACR presets and photoshop script and actions.
just look under the tool tab

You seriously forgot the best free RAW converter? You do realize the title is "FREE" not "OPEN SOURCE" or "SHAREWARE" right? DPP FTW

I have been torn as to whether to include places to get free actions. There is a sticky that is specific to that already. Maybe I will add it.

I added it. Didn't know if I should include it as it is a Canon specific thing (i know we are on a Canon forum).
