Image resizer - power toy's style program for osx ?

I hope this is the correct forum. I am new to the mac way of life and I have just began to explore my new (and first) mac (17" G4 powerbook).
I have Adobe elements that came with my Canon 300D, so I do have an image resizer, however I was hoping someone had information to a resize program that worked similar to the Microsoft power toys. Simply right click the image and choose the size you wish it to be.
If this exists, please point me in the right direction
Thanks a million!

I think??? what you're looking for is QuickImageCM (a contextual menu plugin).

    Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

    First you need to make sure you have a supported machine, and all the current updates (Core 2 Duo, i3/5/7 and 10.6.8.)
    If you are using Microsoft Office 2004/8, then you will need to buy Office 2011. If you are using older versions of Adobe Photoshop before CS3 that are PPC only, then you will need to buy a newer Adobe CS.
    If you are running iWork 08, it will work, but there will be no support for full screen unless you have 09 version. If you use Apple software like Final Cut or Logic Studio, you will also need the latest versions to use full screen support.
    Basically, if you have any software installed that is more than 2 years old, you need to check if it is Intel, PPC or Universal. Because anthing that is listed as PPC will not work at all. And most Apple apps older than 2 years do not have any support for the new Full Screen or Versions features.
    If you want to see if you have any PPC apps that are not supported at all, simply click the Apple icon at the top, click about this Mac, then click more info. System Profiler will open, on the left side click on "Applications" and you will see a list of every installed app. The far right column will tell you KIND, Intel, Universal or PPC. Anything in the list that says PPC will not work after installing Lion.

  • Image resize quality not saved in Save For Web Preset?

    L.S.,
    I have been working on an Action to create 12 separate PNG's for further use in my icon-software. What I do is basically this:
    Start out with a 256x256px image, save it for web four times in steps from 256, 48, 32 and 16px, (32-bit)
    apply some masks / layers, save it for web again four times from 256-16px,  (8-bit)
    set the mode to indexed colour / apply other masks and layers, and save it for web again from 256-16px. (4-bit)
    I let the sizing be done in the Save for Web step.
    The 256-sized pics give me no problem as they are not scaled down.
    The 32-bit pics give me no problem as they are scaled down, and antialias comes along, but they have 8-bit transparency: no problem.
    In the 8-bit and 4-bit versions from 48-16px, I definitely want no antialias in the sized down versions. So I set the resize quality to 'Nearest Neighbor'.
    However, Photoshop seems not to be able to remember different resize qualities in one Action.
    In every Save for Web-action that I do, when I set it to resize, it does so. But the resize quality is not taken from the setting. It seems to be taken from the last used or recorded setting.
    That is pretty annoying, because:
    - When I let the downscaled ones of the first 4, be downscaled 'bicubic sharper'
    - And I let the downscaled ones of the second 4, and third 4, be downscaled 'nearest neighbor'
    Next time I run the Action, all downscaling is done by 'nearest neigbor'. That ruins my downscaled 32-bit icons - they get jaggy.
    If I alter the steps in the action manually and set the first ones to 'bicubic sharper' again, suddenly all downscaled ones are done by 'bicubic sharper'.
    That ruins my downscaled 8-bit and 4-bit icons: they get antialias, to lime green, and that shows...
    I can save Presets in the Save For Web dialog, but as the groupbox already tells me: these presets only apply to the Image quality parameters, not to the sizing parameters. Those seem to be taken from the last run.
    I have one alternative to this: before every Save for Web step, I downsize the image myself, and undo the history step after saving. It's quite some work and I would just rather see that the sizing parameters saved in the Preset!

    That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

  • Benchmark program for OSX?

  • Does anyone know of a good genealogy program for OSX?

    Most of the offerings in the app store whilst being relatively cheap really do not come anywhere near the quality of software such as Family Historian or even Family Tree Maker.  The graphics are at best "jazzy" and quite often hard to understand.  Quite often they concentrate on pretty pictures which most genealogists don't need - they need a good database! Gramps is the only package that comes up to my expectations and runs on practically everything except OSX - and it's free!
    Any suggestions would be most welcome as I continue to use a PC and windows for my genealogy pursuits.

    Reunion
    Not cheap, but extremely robust. The company has been producing and supporting it for as long as Macs have been in existence.
    If you ever need support (you probably won't) don't be surprised if Frank Leister picks up the phone himself.

  • Free Image Resizer for Pix?

    just wondering if the apple has any power toys such as windows. i use to always use the image resizer power toys for windows. does the macbook pro have it as well? or is there any applications that is already installed on here that i can use it. i swear i looked through all of the apps,and could not found anything that could help me.

    I don't know what you mean by 'power toys'. But if it is image resizer that you want, try ToyViewer at http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~ogihara/software/index.html
    It's light, and fairly easy to use. Lots of basic functions as well.

  • Fontek character chooser FOR OSX?

    does anyone know if there are any programs for OSX that do the same types of things as the lovely OS9 FONTEK CHARACTER CHOOSER?
    I have suitcase fusion but it does not show ALL the characters available for each character set in a preview window .. which is what I'm really looking for.
    The international panel doesn't use all the fonts that I have functioning, only the ones the system is using (I think, because there are only four or five fonts to choose from in the drop down menu in the keyboard)
    thoughts? ~KT

    Things have changed since OS 9 and you can no longer normally use the keyboard to enter the kinds of things you want. In the Unicode system used by OS X, special characters are no longer mapped to Latin codepoints that the keyboard reaches, but to their own standardized codepoints beyond this, for which there are no keystrokes. You need to use the Character Palette, either double-clicking or the Insert Button at the bottom right, to input such characters. You can use the Glyph mode of Character Palette to see all the glyphs in a font and try to input them. Some apps may work with older fonts that replace Latin with symbols, but some will not.
    Have you found and looked at Character Palette yet? This is the tool you need to use, not Keyboard Viewer.

  • Image resize in CS5 vs cell size in LR3 for large print quality

    What is the benefit of image resizing(larger) with resampling in photoshop than creating a larger cell size and increasing the DPI in LR3 if the file is to be printed just out of LR3.  Is there a significant improvement in image quality if this is done in CS5, if so then what about the need for fractal program.  I am taking my images with a D3x and making prints up to 20x30 on Epson 7900?

    Interoperation from LR is far superior to the basic in PS CS 4, whilst this may have improved in CS 5 I haven't tried it and wouldn't expect it to be any better than LR 3. The print module in LR can also make it all a lot easier to do than using PS. Some may still prefer Genuine Fractals (I have a copy), however I have felt no need for it since LR 2. Any resizing I require is done using LR

  • I need an action/script for image resizing with a "special" attribute

    Having a headache, nothing work so far the way I want it...
    So here's the deal: I have a bunch of psd files and I need them saved as jpegs in a fixed size - 450x590px.
    The filename of the jpeg should be the same as each psd and the images should be resized proportionate.
    The psds have irregular sizes, some are tall, some are square, some are wide, etc.
    I tried using the place function on a template, but that requires my input - choose what to place, then type the filename.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your input!

    So have both Portrait and Landscape images with varying size. and want to create jpeg from them that are 450x590 pixels in size.  Can the have Portrait and Landscape orientations.  If they all must be Portraits 450px wide by 590px high  your landscape images composition will not fair well.  For cropping landscape image to portraits image normally crops away  to much image content.   Content aware scale may work somewhat better then cropping to portrait the introduced distortion may be acceptable.
    If Portrait 450x590px and Landscape 590x450px is an acceptable solution.  I would go with a cropping solution for there will be no distortion and centered crop composition are usually acceptable.   It can also be done with a two step action used by an image processor script.  If you download my crafting action package. It has a plug-in script that can be recorded in an action to set a 45:59 centered aspect ratio selection which you follow with an Image Crop step.  You run the Image Processor  script have the action make the crop and the Image processor to resize the crop to fit into a 590x590px area.

  • Default Program for Viewing Images?

    I want to download and try the Photoshop Album Starter Edition while updating my Adobe Reader. BUT, if I don't like it I want to be able to return to using my Windows Photo Gallery. Does the Photoshop Starter Edition automatically set itself as the DEFAULT program for viewing pictures, etc? If so, how do I reset it to my Windows Photo Gallery or other program? Thanks!

    Hi Alan,
    To set some program other than Photoshop Album Starter Edition as your default program for viewing images of a particular format, say .jpeg, right click on any .jpeg image and then select "Open with" and then "Choose Program. In the open with dialog box select the application that you want to use for viewing .jpeg images and check the check box at the bottom of the dialog box which says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
    Cheers,

  • When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

    When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

    You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
    View>Print Size
    Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
    (apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

  • Any free Universal software for image resizing?

    Hi all,
    Most of the time i downloaded huge image files from the net and have no tools to covert it to smaller size (e.g. 176x220)so that I can send it to my mobile phone as wallpaper.
    I tried using the Iphoto but it does not resize, it's more like cropping.
    Any ideas?

    I use a really neat little program called ImageWell. It works great.

    I remember having to search, like you, to find a good image resizing app. Then I found ImageWell. The current version of ImageWell is a Universal Binary.
