Photo manipulation and image design:

Photo Studio http://www.stuffware.co.uk/photostudio/

Photo Studio is a multi purpose tool for dealing with photographic images. It greatly speeds up and enhances the process of getting images from your digital camera to the web. It supports everything from downloading the images from your camera or memory card, through rotating, resizing, conversion, previewing, adding comments, creating thumbnails and generating fully customisable HTML index pages ready for uploading to your website.

Photo Studio is also a useful tool for exploring the meta data stored along with your image files. The program supports a wide variety of meta data standards, including EXIF, CIFF, Olympus, JFIF and Photoshop. EXIF data will be of particular interest to digital camera users - it is the format used by most digital cameras to store camera settings along with an image.

The tool also has basic support for some movie formats - AVI and QuickTime/JPEG, as recorded by some older digital cameras. The tool can play back, as well as extract video, audio and stills from these files.

A good free alternative for MS Project is Open Workbench (you have to register on the site first to download)

Its still a beta version, i personally prefer rainlendar over this, but if you dont like a calendar on your desktop there is a standalone application called mozilla sunbird, it looks quite a bit similar to iCal, but its not yet the final version.

Not sure but i think its not possible to copy text from a pdf, but Text Mining Tool is a program that lets you convert pdf and more extensions to text. :D
