Need image editor for Jpegs

Hello:
I am new to Mac and I need to find a way of editing JPEG files in a manner similar to the editing capabilities of MS Paint. I.e., nothing very fancy, but cropping, changing color fills, adding text, and saving in high or low resolution. Can you help me find out how to do this on an OS X Lion Macintosh?
Thank you for your time.

I've used this app for 15 years. Always evolving, too.

What's the best freeware image editor for Mac OS X 10.5.5?

Hi.
I noticed Mac OS X 10.5.5 doesn't come with an image editor (mainly for photographs) like Microsoft Windows' simple MS Paint (and free Irfanview to download and use). Are there similiar ones for Mac OS X? I was going to get Paint.net, but it has no Mac support. Gimp is nice but too complex and bloated. And yes, I did a Google search but got too many hits.
Thank you in advance.

Takes about 9 seconds till it's ready to do from the moment I click the dock icon, but from that point onwards it's as fast as anything else I've used.
I love both the app and the price.
Hmm, I will try again. Which native Mac OS X port do you recommend? I see a bunch now compared what I saw one in the past.
You can download the source and compile, but there are also Leopard binaries available for slightly less new versions.
Actually 2.6.1 has just been released
http://www.gimp.org/
but the most recent binary for OS-X is here
http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/
Mine runs with the version of X11 that comes with Leopard.
And BTW, the latest version of fink for Leopard is great. Much better interface and much easier to install, update and maintain.
Thanks. I am surprised there are no native ports still.

Need video editor for 603

i need video editor and photos editor for nokia 603

have you checked that the video and photo editor isn't in the Gallery application? if it isn't , you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
as for other photo editors/video editors, whatever is available in the Nokia Store is your best bet.

Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY). The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it. When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great). However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure. Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
Thanks

The Photoshop 13.0.1 Update fixes this issue. Excellent.

Use of Photoshop Elements as external editor for JPEGS

Hi,
Aperture (1.5.4) only gives me two options for file format if I want to use Photoshop Elements 3.0 as my external editor. They are TIFF and PSD. I store my images on Aperture in JPEG.
How can I edit them in JPEG format in Photoshop Elements and back to Aperture?
Thanks
MST

To stay in the JPG world, you would export from Aperture using the export function, Import into Photoshop, edit, Save or Save As JPG, then Import into Aperture. Then re-group by manually selecting the original and the edited version and Stack.
Do-able but not effective.
The issue with JPG's is cumulative errors leading to visible artifacts every time you save. Artifacts very visible in solid color areas such as sky or painted walls as contours and bands.
So, using the "Open with external editor ..." option allows you to round-trip as a PSD. Yes, it consumes incremental disk space vs. JPG, but the upside is substantially better quality. This is I assume why Aperture does not support JPG round-tripping, and I certainly wouldn't advocate the approach either.
Note: JPG is an old standard by technology standards, which is its blesssing (universality) and its curse (poorer than needed performance). JPG weaknesses are well documented and Microsoft of all people created a new format recently and submitted to the JPG committee for standards approval: I believe this has been granted, and camera manufacturers are already starting to adopt. Thus the days of JPG as the preferred lossy compression algorithm for image files are numbered.

File>Open to open your eps file
File>Export to export your image as a jpg.
In the export dialog box just below where you type in the filename is a file type, that is where you choose jpg.
What ever you do, do not delete the eps file. Should you ever need to access the original you will have have.
I recommend that instead of jpg you choose psd, tiff, or png and use jpg only for sharing. Jpg is a lossy format meaning each time you edit the file and save it, the quality of that file degrades. The formats I recommend are lossless formats, you can edit them all you want no data is being discarded unless you choose to do so.

Saving JPEG from External Image Editor (CS2)?

When I purchased Aperture I'd hoped it would store three copies of each photo; the original untouched RAW and a Photoshopped TIFF and JPEG, but 70mb+ TIFF files appear to be taking their toll. I will probably store them in another app, leaving the RAW and JPEG in Aperture.
Anyway, to cut to the question.
I send a 16 bit TIFF to CS2 directly from Aperture using the 'External Image Editor' option. When I've done all of the necessary work in CS2, save the 16bit TIFF, and then convert to 8 bit and 'Save As' to JPEG.
Aperture appears to be able to automatically retrieve a TIFF file, but not a JPEG.
Does anybody have any ideas of a way round this?
Currently, I'm saving JPEG's to my desktop, then re-importing into Aperture. I hoping it doesn't need to be quite so long winded!

Fast is a relative term. However, I will say this: I shoot primarily RAWs, and my largest megapixel count is the 11 megapixels of my Canon 1Ds. On my PowerBook I felt Aperture was fast enough for image sorting and metadata editing, but was a bit jerky and slow for image adjustments. Also, the PowerBook video card was not up to the task of switching views because it would regularly get scrambled and then settle down when switching views. I bought a MacBook Pro C2D w/2GB RAM and I'm very happy with the performance of Aperture on this machine. Adjustments are smooth. Even loading the Masters from 7200 RPM external drive seems much snappier on the MBP.
I haven't had much time with Aperture on my G5 Dual 2GHz w/3.5GB RAM because I severely fractured my ankle shortly after I bought Aperture and only one hour after I arrived home with my new Raedon X800XT graphics card. (My G5 is up a flight of stairs in my studio and I have to sit with my leg elevated 24/7.) I've read in this forum that this combination is workable, but perhaps I'll find myself wishing for a MacPro. Given how happy I am with the MBP, I can't imagine being unhappy with a MacPro.
I keep Activity Monitor running on my machine and have set it to load on boot. I set the icon to show the memory usage pie chart. I keep an eye on it as I run my programs. I only keep essential programs open when I am working in Aperture.
I have found that smaller projects are quicker. Like you, I originally had multiple thousands of images in projects. Then I changed my structure to have many projects under blue folders. My projects are all under 1,000 images now.
BTW, have you seen this post?

Why does Raw image open in PSE 11 Editor as jpeg instead of as RAW image?

For several years I have been managing my photos in iphoto and using PSE as an external editor for editing images. I currently use PSE 11 on an iMac with OS X Lion (version 10.7.5). My iPhoto Library is divided into a number of sub-libraries via iPhoto Library Manager. I have unexpectedly encountered a problem attempting to edit a RAW image (in this case a .NEF image from a Nikon D200) in a sub-library containing images shot in 2007. When I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor the image opens in PSE 11 Editor, but it opens as a jpeg and not as an .NEF image. This is in spite of the fact that in iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced/RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor."
As an alternative approach I tried dragging and dropping the RAW image into the PSE 11 Editor icon in the Dock, but I got the same result.
I can't recall having this problem previously and would appreciate knowing what might be the source of the problem along with a suggested fix.

I took a clue from both of your responses. I exported a copy of the original RAW file to my desktop. Then I went to PSE Editor and clicked File/Open and selected the RAW file on the desktop. This automatically changed the Format setting to Camera Raw. I then clicked Open and lo and behold my RAW file opens in Camera Raw!
I’m now where I want to be to edit this image in Camera RAW, but I never before had to go around the horn like this to get there! This is very similar to the procedure I follow when I edit jpegs in Camera Raw.
I’m happy to report that this workaround did the job, but I have no idea why it was necessary in this instance. Hopefully this issue will be confined to this one particular iPhoto sub-library!

Need a recommended image editor

Can someone recommend an image editor that doesn't cost zillions or is free
95% of the time, all I need is:
- image resizing and cropping
- adding shadows
- saving as optimised jpg
- or saving as a png with transparent background
I've rarely ever done anything else not mentioned above
I've done some googling, and pixelmator looks pretty good
I just looked in the Mac App store... seems pretty good at $14.99!
Should I consider anything else?
I'd love Photoshop - but way too expensive
Thanks

Preview can do all that but add shadows.
GIMP is free photoshop equivalant http://www.gimp.org/
There is a plugin for iPhoto that can do borders and shadows. http://www.iborderfx.com/

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

Please add support for JPEG Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF)

It seems that now Adobe® Illustrator® can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF). We should have an option to produce the JPEG Exchangeable image file format (EXIF) as well (just like Photoshop does!). Why this is so important to me? I generally work under Illustrator and I often post my work on Behence. I work with 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' color profile. When publishing I use *.jpg with embedded ICC Color Profile. But it looks like Behence doesn’t fully support the JPEG JFIF – for example it cannot read its icc data correctly. The effect is that my work looses its quality! The only option to produce the JPEG EXIF I have now is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded. This guarantees my files are being processed correctly.
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison )
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (an app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is the result:

Marydee-You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images & how 2 get info

Marydee- You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images. And you also asked how to get photo info for each image in iphoto
Here's what I found in the iPhoto6 Help Menu:
Showing a photo's image and camera information
iPhoto stores EXIF information with each photo in your library. This information includes the photo's image size, the date and time it was taken, and the type of camera it was taken on, as well as important exposure information, such as the shutter speed, aperture, and film ISO.
To show image and camera information:
Select the photo and choose Photos > Get Info.
You can also see a photo's title, date taken, rating, format, and comments by clicking the Information button in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window.
