I bought a new MPBr and it's my first mac. I bought it from the education store for college which I start next week as a freshman. I'm wondering what you all recommend I spend my $100 Mac App Store gift card on. I've been looking through all the Apps and I just wondered what other college students or anyone thought were the best apps.

The one thing I want to get for sure is a photo editing software. I sell a lot of things on eBay and I want to be able make the photos look the best possible so people can see what I'm selling them. I've looked at Aperture and Pixelmator but I'd be open to any suggestions.

Thanks!
 
Couple of Apps that are "must have" at least for me:

SmartSleep (saves ur SSD) (on Mac App Store)
Flux (for night working) (Free)
Alfred (fast searching / running apps via shortcut and many more..) (Free)
smcFanControl (Free)
Reeder (RSS Reader) (on Mac App Store)
HyperDock (not only a window snapping tool) (on Mac App Store)
JumpCut (History of copy/paste) (Free)

Also while it's free, grab this bundle on http://maclegion.com/
