Here's a good, free graphics program.
GIMP
Wilber loves Apple
This one works with Leopard. It also has some new features we needed, like Fade.

Don't want to derail the thread, but I can't narrow it down to just 5. These are the apps I use every day.
• CODA
• CSSEdit2
• Billings2
• AppZapper
• OnyX
• IPMenu
• Snapz Pro X
• CandyBar3
• Wallet
• OmniGraffle Professional
• PixelStick
• Integrity
• Sapiens
• TinyAlarm
• Renamer4Mac
• Transmission
• Audio Hijack Pro
• Anxiety
A few of these are even being sold at a huge discount right now through MacHeist: MacHeist » Bundle.

So the previous problem with Gimp crashing on Leopard (when you try using specific tools) has been fixed?

PS. does anyone know of a download manager for OSX that you can enter rapidshare username and password details too? Essentially Internet Download Manager but a mac version.
