SCN: Freeware Image Editing Tools

[patrick fisher]

Actually, I just need something simple for web pictures: resize, crop, auto-adjust
color, and "save as" at different resolutions. Photoshop is overkill. Photoshop
light is overkill.

Actually, Gimp is on the Mac, if you have OS X: Gimp originated on Linux and it was
rather easily ported over to Mac OS X which is Unix. You can have a gander at
www.macgimp.com.

Which is nice, because a lot of Linux apps are being modified to run on Mac OSX. And
Unix apps run well in the shell portion of OS X.
