Seashore, open source image editor

To do basic image resizing, cropping etc you can use

It's an online image editor.

lol, I think the point with these apps is indeed NOT to have to load photoshop just to crop an image. Any lightweight cocoa-native app like Seashore will load in 1 second on a cheap G4 while photoshop takes forever. PhotoShop is way way beyond any of those apps in terms of functionality but it does take ages to load.

The reason I didn't post ChocoFlop on macupdate or any other website is because it's _alpha_ as in unstable, buggy, crash-prone. I really need to fix about a hundred bugs before I will call it alpha and dare to release it to the public.

Photoshop Sux!

Only if you don't know how to use it. I've used it for 10 years professionally. In advertising and design, it's one of the best programs out here. Fortunately for me my company pays for it.

If you need to crop an image, you can do it in Photoshop easily.

Trust Adobe. They're single-handedly making the world better.

#6: Photo resizing doesn't require Fireworks. Try Graphic Converter. It's shareware, but it's not crippleware, so it'll go on working. You can resize based on percentage, pixels or inches. Give it a shot.

Chocoflop does more than Seashore and is still free. I much prefer it over the latter. For some reason its not listed on any sites like macupate, i found it via a forum post, weird.

Anyways, heres a link:

Hey Chewie, Photoslop sux! I echo Zach's comment - If Seashore had a decent crop function, it'd be in my daily rotation.

My fervent wish is that Serif would get off their lazy butts and port PagePlus PhotoPlus, et. al. to OS X; those apps are real Adobe killers!

Why not Photoshop Elements? It probably came with the last scanner or camera you bought. Ask around. Someone probably has a CD laying around because they use full-version Photoshop.

Oooooh! You guys should try the image editing program I use. It's awesome! It can get a bit pricey, but hey, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette (did i spell that correctly?). It's called Adobe Photoshop. Go for the latest version, 9.0, but they call it CS 2. All the functions you asked from the previously mentioned programs in your comments. You'll totally dig it!

I'm shocked at the lack of basic image editing functionality that is in iPhoto or Preview. Or maybe I just can't find it. For example, Image Resize. It's a pretty basic function, reduce an image to 50% of it's dimensions, or whatever. To do that now I have to run Fireworks, which takes forever to load and is freaking expensive.

You know, why can't someone just add good crop functionality to one of these open source apps. All I want is a function that can crop to a certiain pixel size but neither Paint.net or this can do it. I am not sure about The Gimp.
