Opensource or freeware alternatives to all the software we can't afford

Let's say you are a web designer you need some software to make your job easier so you need Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium, that's $1699,00! Or Design Premium $1799,00! Or for the 3D designers 3ds max $3495. That's just to much for a piece! Sure, it's great software but $3495 is more than twice my PC! (And I got quite a good PC). Then there are 2 choices: 1. Use pirated software, or 2. Use freeware alternatives. Because choice 1 would get me in trouble I chose 2. So I made a list for all the expensive software I needed.

Photoshop alternatives
Photoshop has more than one alternative GIMP and Paint.NET

GIMP

A graphic editor wich does not look like Photoshop and UI just sucks.

GimPhoto

That's more like it :p

PAINT.net



Illustrator alternative
Inkscape


Flash
Synfig



Dreamweaver alternative
KompoZer



After Effectss alternative
Jashaka

UI seems like as hard as the name itself ( Jahsjaka, ja shaka, jas haka?)


Haha! Take that Adobe! They are going bankrupt in no time! Now let's take down some other companies too.


3ds max alternative
gmax

Ofcourse Blender is seen as world's best free 3d modeler but it doesn't even comes near to how 3ds max looks like. So if you want it to look like 3ds max you should try gmax, howhever it's more for creating game models.


Fl Studio alternative
Linux MultiMedia Studio

Fl studio is probably one of the cheaper audio softwares around but still quite a lot. So there's an alternative Linux MultiMedia Studio, and guess what! It's also availble for windows!
