PhotoShop "Lite"?

[ConqSoft]

Hello. First post on the site. New to Mac's. Just picked up a 14" iBook last week.

I'm a long-time windows user, and for my graphics needs, I use Paint Shop Pro (www.jasc.com). It has almost all the features of PhotoShop, but at 1/6th the price.

Is there anything similar for OSX? I just do basic editing/cropping/resizing/text overlays for the most part.

Thanks

End when you will master the Mac... try The Gimp !

Yep! Looks like that will do it. Dunno how I overlooked that on Adobe's site.

Thanks

That's probably the software you will prefer as a Mac beginners: it looks really like its Windows counterpart.
Later, you will probably use GraphicConverter that is the most powerful software to generate any kind of format (shareware of incredible quality).
The Gimp is for you if you need something with more functionalities, but this requires that you use the UNIX face of Mac. or maybe by the time you need it, it will be completely ported to MacOS-X.
