I've spent so much money on software this past year that I can't possibly shell out more money for photoshop. And, since I'm completely renovating my business (name, website, EVERYTHING) I've come across some cool utilities that are also simple to use.
Today I needed a favicon to add to the new site and was able to do it using these two little gems:
Ultimate Paint - It's a CNet download and better than Paint.net IMO.
Favicon Generator - web-based and really easy to use.
Hope this comes in handy to someone!
