First of all some free things do work well. I use Mozilla Firefox for my browser and one add-on available is ZOTERO which labeled as the "next generation research tool". It allows you to take snapshots of web pages. It sits at bottom of the browser window and you can access files from there.
I also use Google Docs and Notes, which is another method of copying and storing things of the web. Google docs can render a great PDF for down load also. Its also great to access from other locations and retrieve later from home.
As for photos I use Faststone Image Viewer available at Faststone.org. It has some neat viewing options, quick resizing and editing tools. I discovered this week I could use in the photo properties the "jpg comments" feature to add info to the photo. I'll be posting some soon to see if the info can be accessed in Blogger. I tried Picasa awhile ago but found it lacking.
I finally took a look at Roots Television and found a video on adding comments below a photo using GIMP . So I viewed it 4 or 5 times and opened my Gimp program (it has always scared me) and did it. The man giving the demo gave me the clue about the photo properties option. Good stuff on there. I saw videos for retouching photos which I will be going through real soon.
