::Question::

Can you Mac users recommend an image editing freeware program to tide me over ‘till I buy Photoshop again?

I’m looking for something very basic that will handle photo cropping and re-sizing. Being able to convert an image to .jpg would be a bonus.

I sadly don’t have the option of using the Photoshop on my old PC laptop because the poor exhausted 6 year old thing has officially gone kaput [it mercifully waited until I had transferred almost all of my files to the new Mac!]. 

So basically, I’ve got a huge backlog of images that I’m dying to post from The Green Living Show and beyond, but find myself without my trusty old Photoshop. Needless to say, for a blogger, this is a real dilemma. 

I’ve had some kind folks recommend the following:

I downloaded the Skitch program and right off the bat, there were major glitches in opening it. I haven’t been able to use it. I’ve sent a msg to their tech support about it. 

So before I try downloading anything else, I’d love and appreciate some feedback from my fellow Mac bloggers. Again, I’m just looking for a temporary solution, so anything basic but reliable will do.

Please drop me a line at greendesigngirl at gmail.com 

Thanx in advance!

p.s.: Can I tell you how much I’m enjoying the Safari “tabs” feature?! The de-clutter freak in me is smitten.
