Want something like ImageReady for Leopard

Hi, I just upgraded to Leopard on my MacBook and my trusty old copy of Adobe ImageReady 7.0 will no longer load.

I'm looking for something that can take it's place.

Basically, what I want is something that can resize, crop, and save to variable qualities of JPEG.

(My normal routine is that I have a 20mb photo and want to crop it and resize it and make sure it's under 10mb so I can upload it to Flickr—that's what I used ImageReady for)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Simple edits can be used with Preview.app: read the review!
or
Alternatively, Photoshop!

Preview will do everything you need. Resize, Crop and save as jpegs (in various qualities)

Well, I'm trying out Pixelmator... it's kind of useful but I haven't messed with it enough to know if it's going to be a perfect replacement or not.

Graphic Converter is another great program for the Mac.

ImageReady has been usurped into Photoshop, so that would be one logical successor. Otherwise, I, too, recommend Grahpic Converter. Preview's controls for web-export are too simplistic for me, so I'm staying with Photoshop.
