Last time I did a download article I mentioned that good free downloads (for my use) had been few and far between. However, I’ve been downloading a bunch of new free apps and utilities lately. Here’s some of them (ALL FREE!).
This is Avery’s new Mac software package for printing to their labels, cards, etc. It is full of templates and much better than their old software for the Mac (which for some reason was only available on the Avery UK site). It even has Quicklook support.
I’ve been reviewing a lot of 2D animation software lately. In fact, I have two more reviews coming this month. For those that want to dabble in animation without paying any money Pencil is a great free animation program. It is still in beta, but worth checking out.
