RapidoResizer is free, fast and simple but it is yet another application and doesn't let you crop. PhotoShop Elements maybe most on-cue for these tasks, if it weren't like much of Adobe's software, bloated and slow. Pixelmator seems to be being talked up a lot which is amazing for a beta which still does relatively little. I'd be more impressed if his responses actually addressed my issues. I think this must be the basis of his reputation as "responsive". The developer is always quick to respond to queries but not with useful answers. Why these relatively simple and mundane functions can't be achieved directly with a straightforward, non-concealed toolset has me puzzled.ĭespite owning GraphicConvertor for over a decade, I rarely use it because of its primitive, awkward and obtuse interface.

Preview can be surprisingly adept at some things (like converting eps or ps to pdf) but cropping and resizing is so arse about face, it's hard to believe it is part of the "easy to use Mac interface". You can resize images in Preview on Leopard. I have iPhoto set to edit directly into photoshop (photoshop elements would probably also do the same) under the iPhoto/Preferences/General/Edit Photo menu, and edited photos are automatically saved and tracked by iPhoto when using this option. A golden rule is 'never replace an iPhoto file with an externally edited version'. Also, don't save the photo in it's current name and place, or iPhoto goes haywire (or at least it used to, I haven't tried the procedure with the current iPhoto).

It's free to try, but it's only downfall is photos have to be dragged from the iPhoto window and dropped on it's dock icon they can't be set to edit direct from iPhoto. It allows batch processing, opens heaps of different formats, and allows photo adjustments.

Thorsten Lemkes Graphic Converter is a great buy, I've only had to buy one major update in 10 years (that was last year). Having said that, clicking on a photo in the print panel will bring up a simple dialog box that allows re-sizing and dragging of the photo within the bounds of the size you have set. Printing from iPhoto could use some work, such as rotating, dragging and dropping within a print panel. It's possible, if you rotate the photos if necessary, to fit 3 into an 8x10 inch panel, but iPhoto wastes paper by only printing 2 per sheet. These capabilities don't include easy photo resizing (in pixels per inch), although sending photos to email in a range of sizes is very easy.Ĭropping is also easy, but you can end up with photos of varying resolutions, which if added to a page/sheet in photoshop or photoshop elements, cause mismatched sizes, as all photos printed on a sheet must have the same pixel count per inch.Īlso a pain is the inability to print 3 6x4 inch standard sized photos on an A4 sheet. Also added was the ability to store movies from digital cameras, but if you think photos have a lack of adjustment, movies have none (except a few basics if you have Quicktime Pro), not even the ability to rotate the often taken Movie-On-Its-Side (©). IPhoto started out as a photo organizing tool, and basic photo adjustment capability was added during successive iterations.

But if theres ways to do what I want with iPhoto, I would love to do that. Thats why I'm looking for a better photo editing software.
BASIC PHOTO EDITOR FOR MAC SOFTWARE
But from the research I've done, pretty much everyone switching from PC to mac has found iPhoto to be bunk compared to the photo editing software they were used to. I'd love to make use of it rather than buying a new program. Like I said, this is only my first month with the mac, so if you know something that will make iPhoto not seem like junk, please share. And I'm not seeing an option in the print dialog box that lets me do that. Sometimes I need to take a picture and print it out in a specific size, like 2.5in x 3.75in.

I would need to do it because I don't want everything I print to be full page.

Besides that, why the heck should you have to try to export a photo just to change its sizeĪs for the resizing for printing. Even with the "custom" option, its still very limited compared to most photo editing software. I would hardly call the options availible in the export function as "resizing to my hearts content". I've tried the whole export to resize thing.
