Here is a free app: http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ Also, as mentioned in this thread, Preview can rotate and crop as well. And if you just bought a Mac you should have iPhoto on it. -- Dan Juarez Cedar City, Utah --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Preview -> Tools menu. A simple and yet powerful editing tool could be Torsten Lemke's GraphicConverter from www.lemkesoft.com. Free demo available.
