Useful graphic apps

Here is an app that I use quite frequently:
Wood Workshop (Freeware) by Spiral Graphics
http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/ww_overview.htm

It's not only great for creating wood textures it is also great for creating stone patterns as well. It has lot of flexibility and is quite powerful for freeware.

I just visited the Spiralgraphics link that Richard Cherry suggested above and noted that there was a link to another app called Genetica with a Free, Pro, and Studio version. Genetica is similar, but with extended capabilities for those not familiar. I suggest checking it out. I would guess free capability with resolution up to 3000 x3000 would be ok with folks?

Make woodfloor textures yourself with the great free: "Floor Texture Generator" by Martin Chudomel.

Max texture size is 2000x2000 pixels.
Output is not tiling so you'll have to fix that in Photoshop.

To see what can be done here's one I've made:

Bumping an old but useful thread:

MyPaint Windows/Linux and a bunch of free brushes. I like the minimalist interface.

Very nice UI and all the bells and Whistles you'd expect!
