The tools listed in this category will help beginners create and manage a wide variety of imaging tasks: editing photos, creating web images, finding the right colors for a website, perform screen captures, and even a recommended video tool or two.
As always, the tools recommended here are beginner and wallet friendly. Unfortunately, because of the complex nature of most image software, most are not free. However, we tried to find ones that were relatively inexpensive. You won’t find a recommendation for Photoshop here. Not because it is bad software
(it isn’t), but because it is way beyond the price range for beginners (and beyond their learning curve as well). Neither will you find a recommendation for GIMP. Though free, we felt it was not beginner friendly.
What determines beginner friendliness in an imaging tool?
- great user interfaces
- intuitive design
- built-in easily accessible tutorials and/or excellent help
- the ability to easily manipulate and understand imaging tasks
Look over the list of tools below, click your need, and learn our recommendation. As also, feel free to disagree. Better yet, contact us with a tool you feel is better. We will review it and give our own opinion.

Color Schemes
Some of us have an eye for color. Even some have the ability to actually create palettes of color that work well together. But for most of us, we need a tool that helps us develop color schemes for our websites.
RGB Hex Converter
You say tomahto, I say tomayto. You say RGB. I say Hex. When dealing with HTML colors you need a tool that will convert RGB values to hex and vice versa.
