Freeware to resize a jpg image on Mac?
The image in my sigline is too large for DU standards and my license for Fireworks has expired.

:(

2. DroPic!

This was my first resizing freeware. Bare bones, but efficient.

4. Wow - even a bit elegant in it's simplicity.

Definitely bare bones though - you can only choose from 4 different "preset" sizes.

I was able to resize the pic now in my sigline using an online resource that was most definitely INELEGANT - but it allowed me to crop, resize, and add text.

Original:

And the modified version is in my sigline - now DU compliant in terms of size - no more than 200 pixels tall...

5. Cruise through this site
http://www.macupdate.com/

plug in "graphics" in the search window.

You will see Graphic Converter. It is shareware, but it only nags a bit by slowing down the launch. Gimp.app is pretty good and free, but it has a bit steeper learning curve. Graphic Converter is one hell of an app.

Not free, but very powerful.

I believe you can resize in iPhoto. I haven't used it in years, but it seems you can.

9. Check out GIMP
It is the open source version of Photoshop... ( and you can download it for free)

11. Mm, not really
It's a pretty good package, but it's less feature-rich than Photoshop, so I wouldn't call it an "open-source version of Photoshop". Still, it has all the functionality most people need.

12. Tried and true = Graphic Converter
Freeware with a registration countdown. Shareware ($30.00 US) without the countdown

http://www.lemkesoft.com/

They've been making graphics software for the Mac since 1992.

Excellent software (I'm a graphics pro, BTW). Not photoshop, but it does some things that PS can't/won't do.

13. Does your comp have
appleworks on it? If you have OSX, it probably came with it.

It has a paint like program that will do it.
