Resolved Question

Simple image management software required

Nov 16, 2011 3:13PM PST

I have found Preview almost useless for reliably resizing and printing images - my particular interest is in DVD covers which I either download or create in EazyDraw. On a PC, I use IrfanView which is absolutely fantastic - I can annotate and resize images and vary their resolution with just a few keystrokes.

Graphic Converter may well work for you

It does all that you have mentioned.

For CD covers, design and downloaded, I use an application called Discus

Try Seashore

I looked at Graphic Converter - it's more complex than I need and it's expensive. I found Seashore, which does exactly what I want and it's free! It's the only editor I've found which facilitates resolution management. For instance, if I download a cover that's four time the size I want it to be (surprisingly, this is often the case), I can increase its resolution by a factor of four and its size will automatically reduce to what I want. Seashore does this as easily and as well as IrfanView.
