An image viewer/organiser designed for BeOS-compatible systems
Album is a file browsing and tagging utility for BeOS/Haiku. The idea is to have a work pad for pictures from different locations so they may be viewed and tagged. The program is not limited to pictures and BFS (Be File System) volumes, although that makes most sense since some of the functionality has to do with file attributes.
ArtPaint is a program for painting and image processing that won a Be's Masters Award in 1998. Since then ArtPaint has improved in leaps and bounds.

This is technically a port of KGhostview for X11/KDE. However I had to rewrite most of it, so only the basic architecture and the ps-parser remain as in the original. Thanks to Tim Theisen and Mark Donohoe for the original works. I'd also like to thank Jake Hamby, whose port of Ghostscript and helpful advice made this port possible..
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.

OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, MS Windows and macOS. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous application Blender), OpenSCAD focuses on the CAD aspects rather than the artistic aspects of 3D modeling. Thus this might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but probably not the tool for creating computer-animated movies. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeler. Instead it is more like a 3D-compiler that reads a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file (see examples below). This gives you, the designer, complete control over the modeling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modeling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters. OpenSCAD provides two main modeling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. As the data exchange format for these 2D outlines Autocad DXF files are used. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.
Optimize your images with OptiImage, a useful image compressor that supports PNG, JPEG, WebP and SVG file types. It supports both lossless and lossy compression modes with an option whether to keep or not metadata of images.

Pencil2D lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Pencil2D is free and open source.
Photivo is a free and open source (GPL3) photo processor. It handles your RAW files as well as your bitmap files (TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PNG and many more) in a non-destructive 16 bit processing pipe with gimp workflow integration and batch mode. Photivo tries to provide the best algorithms available; even if this implies some redundancy. So, to my knowledge, it offers the most flexible and powerful denoise, sharpen and local contrast (fake HDR) algorithms in the open source world. Although, to get the desired results, there may be a quite steep learning curve. Photivo is just a developer, no manager and no “Gimp”. It is intended to be used in a workflow together with digiKam/F-Spot/Shotwell and Gimp. It needs a quite strong computer and is not aimed at beginners.
A tool to download/delete pictures from digital cameras
Photograbber has a plugin system which is based on the BDCP2 API created by Graham Wharton (Creator of 'Exposure!'). With this system it is possible to add support to more cameras. If you have developed a BCDP2 compatible plugin for your camera (or just found one somewhere), just copy it into the 'plugins' folder and PhotoGrabber will detect and use it. At this moment PhotoGrabber only supports PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) cameras. In the future Mass Storage and Bluetooth support may be added.
QCAD is a free, open source application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams. QCAD works on Windows, macOS and Linux. The source code of QCAD is released under the GPL version 3 (GPLv3), a popular Open Source license. QCAD was designed with modularity, extensibility and portability in mind. But what people notice most often about QCAD is its intuitive user interface. QCAD is an easy to use but powerful 2D CAD system for everyone. You don't need any CAD experience to get started with QCAD immediately.
QElectroTech is an application to create primarily, electrical, electronics, automation and control circuits. However, QElectroTech can be exploited to create mechanical objects to illustrate processes, instrumentation drawings among various creative possibilities. QElectroTech is a good professional quality drafting application for various drawings that form a project. QElectroTech has a large collection of standard and custom symbols, referred to as elements, that describe most of the commonly used components in electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, computer systems. These elements can be selected drag dropped with mouse on to a diagram editor and connected with lines to represent or describe a system. A large number of such diagrams can be drafted under a project. QElectroTech also consists of an inbuilt element editor that permits creation of newer elements that do not exist in the collection. Elements in the QET collection are not editable i.e read only. But, once the element is drag dropped into a diagram, it is automatically added to “imported” collection in a duplicate copy. This copy of the element will be available for editing to effect suitable changes to create customized symbols.
qView was designed from the very start to be as visually minimal and space efficient as possible. No cluttered interface, just your image and a titlebar. qView opens practically instantly, and switching images is just as quick, all while having low memory and CPU usage.

Better Thin walls (anchored inside the print, no more random bits at the ends, embedded in perimeter loops).
Options to change holes dimensions and/or geometry, to print them at the right size.
Better overhangs (add perimeters if needed, slice them in opposite direction each layer).
Brim rework: many more options (inside, outside only, 'ears', per object)
Some new seam options, to help hide them.
Built-in calibration prints
Built-in object generation script
Can join perimeters into a big one to avoid travel moves.
Many other little options and corrections (like the filled concentric pattern).
It has also all the current slic3rPE/PrusaSlicer features.

WonderBrush is an editor for bitmap and vector graphics. The main window holds any number of documents, which are called Canvas. Each canvas can have any number of Layers, arranged as a list. Each layer represents an individual bitmap in the size of the canvas. Depending on each layer's blending mode, they are composed on top of each other to form the final canvas bitmap. Each layer can contain any number of Objects, which are created with WonderBrush's tools, e.g. brush strokes, shapes, text objects or filters. Each object has a set of properties which define the unique appearance of the object on the layer. At any time, it is possible to reorder the layers, or edit the objects they contain. This could be called non-linear editing. It is also possible to change most of an object's properties later on. This could be called non-destructive editing, because adding another object (like a filter) does not actually destroy any pixel data. An open WonderBrush document references up to two files: one is a file in some export format (e.g. an SVG document, some bitmap format like PNG or JPEG, etc.). The other is a full-featured project file. The canvas resolution can be changed at any time, with all objects being resized accordingly. This makes WonderBrush a kind of hybrid of bitmap and vector editor.
