Hi guys, I was wondering does anyone know of any software which will allow me to resize my digital camera photos, I don't need anything advanced but I have photos which are too big to email :(

Thanks!
 
GraphicConverter. Shareware. But really, really good stuff.
 
Resize Script

Open Script Editor, and create the following new script:

-- save in Script Editor as Application
-- drag files to its icon in Finder

on open some_items
repeat with this_item in some_items
try
rescale_and_save(this_item)
end try
end repeat
end open


to rescale_and_save(this_item)
tell application "Image Events"
launch
set the target_width to 120
-- open the image file
set this_image to open this_item

set typ to this_image's file type

copy dimensions of this_image to {current_width, current_height}
if current_width is greater than current_height then
scale this_image to size target_width
else
-- figure out new height
-- y2 = (y1 * x2) / x1
set the new_height to (current_height * target_width) / current_width
scale this_image to size new_height
end if

tell application "Finder" to set new_item to ¬
(container of this_item as string) & "scaled." & (name of this_item)
save this_image in new_item as typ

end tell
end rescale_and_save

=================================================================================

Save this as an application, and then place its icon somewhere easy to reach (dock, desktop, whatever). Drag and drop an image, or a number of images, onto the icon, and a few moments later, you'll have a file named scaled.Original_File_Name sitting in the same folder as the source image(s).
You can pick another width other than 120 pixels (just change the noted line in the source).
 
Gimp :)

Install it via fink, or there is some OS X package somewhere. Very functional, but uses X11 so it doesn't look as good or integrate with the rest of the OS as well as other applications.
