Well, since I'm using a Mac, there's no way in hell I'm gonna try a Windows piece of software.

However, I glanced at the website, and you may be interested in GraphicConverter for the image editing capabilities of that program. I really don't know what you want, since that piece of software obviously isn't available for the Mac, and you didn't specify what features of the application you want in an application for the Mac.

If you'd really, really love to have that program, then get it for your PC. Otherwise, I'm sure the Macintosh has a TON of image manipulators/viewers that will satisfy your needs. A simple search on http://www.versiontracker.com will find you what you need.

I used to use IrfanView on my PC, 3 years ago. Since switching to Mac, I've found GraphicConvertor to be more than up to the task, and far superior to IrfanView in many regards.

Hey guys, tried GC and it's exactly what I was looking for!

One question, how can I use it to do Batch Resize on images? Like, say I wanted to resize all the images in a particular directory to 640x480 or something.

I'm sure that function is in here somewhere... just not sure where to find it.

Thanks for any help!

Just look at 'batch conversion' (I'm using it in German, so it might be called something else...). There you also have actions and stuff. You don't _have_ to choose a different file format, if you just want to do the action stuff.

Hello all,

Trying to do the Batch Image Resize in graphic converter, think I figured out how it's supposed to work.

When the program starts up I select do batch conversion, then I see that I can chose a directory. I see the destination folder. The "Filter" option I really don't understand. The "Destination Format" is understandable, I'm fine with leaving them the same JPG format.

Use Batches - Bring To Size - I can pick the target image size myself and target directory.

Looks good, but Batch Processing is only available with a registered copy. I hate to registering before I see it go at all... But... I trust it. Time to make a purchase!
