Ahh Yes but GC is less than 70 dollars while Photoshop is about 5-6 times that much. If I was Professional Photographer I would have no choice but Photoshop. But when the most I do is scan old photos to put in a Family Tree website I have. Does as much as I need. I use to be a Deneba Canvas user but when it went to almost the same price as Photoshop I never upgraded when I made the switch to OSX. -- Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T.

Say you wanted to convert an entire folder of PICT images into GIF images or some such. One of GraphicConverter's claims to fame is that you can turn it loose in such a folder and convert the entire pile while you go have lunch or dinner. There was a time when anything that came out of the Windows world was either in PICT or BMP format. These were impossible to deal with on web sites without converting them to a more web friendly format. Thus, GraphicConverter was a very useful utility for dealing with large quantities of images from the Windows world. The built-in image editing stuff, while very useful, was not the primary goal of GraphicConverter when it was produced. The primary goal was, as the name implies, to convert graphics from one format to another. GraphicConverter's built-in slideshow feature seemed to crash from time to time in the early versions. -- -Glennl Please note this e-mail address is a pit of spam, and most e-mail sent to this address are simply lost in the vast mess. |
