You just put a target in the sky in a google-earth like screen and it will tell you when the moon will be in the target. It's good for precomposing and planning moon landscape shots.

For some photos, I've found that the "Curves" feature in the GIMP works better than Photoshop's! @Delme - I use a mac too, and agree.. there's not as much "free" software on macs as there is on PCs. Luckily though, most of the <strong>really good stuff</strong> is free and open source, and ported well to the Mac (i.e. GIMP). @Heather – the GIMP is definitely an awesome program.

Love the idea of using google earth for chechking out surrounding terrain on future photo shoots. I am a mac user and often battle to find great software that is free.

My husband is very pro open-source software, so he actually turned me on to it. I still don't know how to use half the features available in it, but I do like what I know how to use. I too am a fan of Picasa. That's my main program for dealing with my photos at present, and it works well with the Blogger platform. Glad to see you mentioned the GIMP.

I was thinking about mentioning it in the article, but I've never used it before (I just use Apple's iPhoto for organization).. always hear good things about it though! @Jenny – that screensaver software looks pretty cool! too bad there’s no mac version :(

Between the two of them, I don't really need Adobe's programs. I like Picasa as an image organizer to complement GIMP’s image editing capabilities.
