GraphicConverter

Why not get Gimp itself? It is a nice graphics program. It has a lot more drawing tools than Seashore does. Granted, it does need X11, but that is not hard to install and the ability to use additional tools that require it is worth it.

GraphicConverter is shareware but is ideal for the job. There's also SmallImage 2 (free), Photo Drop (free, creates droplets to automate batch tasks), iZoom, ImageWell, and finally, a must-have for really powerful and complicated image-editing tasks is The GIMP. You could also try searching VersionTracker or MacUpdate for words like "Photo" - there are hundreds of...

which is the cut down version of Photoshop, that's meant to be a rival to applications like PaintShopPro. Before you try that, you might want to have a look at GraphicConverter which is a very good image editing tool, and Seashore which is based on GIMP and is free. ...

Preconceived ideas like what? I am. Html-Kit is probably the best windows-based Html editor out there for writing in code and following webstandards and best practices. It's also certainly not a Microsoft product... I'm trained in using Dreamweaver, but nowadays I never use it anymore, I do all my html, css and scripting in an editor. Yes, I'm starting to...

The tasks that you want to accomplish can be best performed on the Mac, for the most part. You need to think about your end product rather than the specific applications used to produce your product. You have some preconceived ideas that you need to reverse if you make the switch. Use standards-based HTML editors rather than Microsoft products. No commercial software...

I tend to use ToyViewer for most basic image editing stuff that doesn't require Photoshop's horse power. Unlike GraphicConverter, ToyViewer is free. Unlike Gimp, ToyViewer is Mac OS X native (predates just about all other image apps in Mac OS X except TIFFany). If you have to spend money, Photoshop Elements would be my first recommendation. Oddly, this isn't the first...

You need to convert the photo (probably in JPEG format) into PICT. Then you can drag your image into a Word document. GraphicConverter will do this for you.

This question gets asked and answered a LOT. iPhoto has more editing functionality that most users will ever use. If you want more, I strongly recommend GraphicConverter, which Apple bundles with its professional computers. It is something of a cheap-skate's Photoshop even accepting Photoshop plug-ins. If you prefer an Adobe product, there is Photoshop Elements. However, PSE...

MacOS X icons can be created with just about any raster graphics application that produces standard format files. A MacOS X icon file has extension *.icns. Photoshop is a favorite of professional software developers. This format is explicitly supported by GraphicConverter. GC also supports Windows icon files.

native" massively cutdown version of the GIMP called Seashore. IMHO, Seashore looks like dog vomit. Professional level Macs ship with GraphicConverter and Apple pays the shareware fee for you. This wonderful app can handle just about every graphic format since 1937. ...
