GraphicConverter

The tasks that you want to accomplish can be best performed on the Mac, for the most part. You need to think about your end product rather than the specific applications used to produce your product. You have some preconceived ideas that you need to reverse if you make the switch. Use standards-based HTML editors rather than Microsoft products. No commercial software title...

I tend to use ToyViewer for most basic image editing stuff that doesn't require Photoshop's horse power. Unlike GraphicConverter, ToyViewer is free. Unlike Gimp, ToyViewer is Mac OS X native (predates just about all other image apps in Mac OS X except TIFFany). If you have to spend money, Photoshop Elements would be my first recommendation. Oddly, this isn't the first...

You need to convert the photo (probably in JPEG format) into PICT. Then you can drag your image into a Word document. GraphicConverter will do this for you.

This question gets asked and answered a LOT. iPhoto has more editing functionality that most users will ever use. If you want more, I strongly recommend GraphicConverter, which Apple bundles with its professional computers. It is something of a cheap-skate's Photoshop even accepting Photoshop plug-ins.

native" massively cutdown version of the GIMP called Seashore. IMHO, Seashore looks like dog vomit. Professional level Macs ship with GraphicConverter and Apple pays the shareware fee for you. This wonderful app can handle just about every graphic format since 1937. ...

Give GraphicConverter a go. Not sure if it can resize images, but try it out anyway. ...

For the love of Pete please don't use word or powerpoint to print silkscreens... :|

Hmmm...I don't remember mentioning anything about worrying about costs?? We are worried about finding an app that will do what we need. Maybe I should have mentioned that money isn't an issue. :-) Correct. That is exactly why we want a standard application because we don't want any more custom made crap. However, Word and PowerPoint will NOT work for our needs...that I...

You are trying to replace a $5000 dongle and are worrying about a piece of software that comes in at less than $1000? Get serious! As for software, screen printers today use standard graphics applications. Photoshop and Illustrator will certainly do the job. So too will AppleWorks, GraphicConverter, or Print Shop. Heck, you can use Word or PowerPoint. The software you use...
