GraphicConverter and GIMP Graphics Editor of Both Low Cost for Mac OS X

Everyone who has a web presence need to do some image editing, from time to time. Check out these great, image editors at low cost for the Mac.

GraphicConverter

GraphicConverter (Lemke Software - $ 45 shareware) should be included in any discussion of graphic editors. Do not be fooled by the name: while it may import about 200 file types and export of 80, it is much more "just" a graphic conversion utility. It is a basic tool for image editing, a paint program, a slideshow viewer, even a simple animation maker. Many PC users have lamented the lack of GraphicConverter in Windows.

Although some basic painting tools, it is not a photo editing program, you will want to make your image editing here. GraphicConverter is great, but when you want to make some basic changes to an image without firing a larger program, heavier.


GIMP

If totally free is your thing, then GIMP (open source - donations accepted) is the choice for you.

As HTML editing and office productivity open source alternative world offers, the more the world of image manipulation. GIMP is a freely distributed program for photo retouching, image composition and image editing (GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program). For advanced editing fully supports alpha channel layers, including editable text layers, transformation tools including rotate, scale, culture and medal selection tools including Bezier and polygonal selections , quick masks and convertible paths.

Then you should go with paid or free? GraphicConverter is ideal for basic tasks such as opening and conversion.

Recommendations: GraphicConverter is low in the creation of the image, but large opening, managing, converting and renaming the image. GIMP tries to be more like Photoshop and is ideal if you are a beginner, or if cost is your main concern.
