ImageJ is a free Java application for processing images. You can do the basic stuff of image processing like sharpen/blur, set contrast and colors, convert between different file formats, scale and crop. But you can also measure distances, lengths (even of non-straight objects), areas - you can create histograms of these values, too. Another really useful feature is the analysis of gel pictures - you can even integrate your bands in each lane. Quite useful is an algorithm that counts particles on your images - e.g. to get a size distribution of micelles, polymers or nano-particles.
And last but not least: it is free, extensible and runs on almost any platform!
[update]
There is a huge list of extensions/plugins available - some are just plain amazing.

The Adblock Filter Set has moved to a new address!
This folder contains a huge list of Filtersets that you can import into Adblock. The lists are updated almost daily - thus ensuring an almost perfect anti-ad-coverage of the main internet sites.
The function of this anti-spam list is really easy. It contains the following:
A list of domains that are know to provide spam and advertismenet banners
A list of URL snippets, folder names and file names which are known to be used for advertisement and offensive images.
Generic expressions which filter out most known ad formats.
As a consequence you will be able to use adblock with firefeox without actually needing to manually block everything yourself. Enjoy ad-free web surfing without hassle and all that is for free!
But also remember: there are many sites out there which are useful and which are free - as their content creation is somewhat sponsored by adverts. Make sure from time to time to turn off your adblock on those sites and do click some adverts or buy something from their sponsors!
An interesting take on this fact can be read at coffeegeek.com.
I just created a little rule for Pithhelmet that automatically sends me to the printable article version at Howstuffworks - much better on my eyes and my attention span.
