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.

    That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
    Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
    Academic?
    Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
    So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

  • What's the best duplicates finder application for Mac OS X?

    What's the best duplicates finder application for Mac OS X?

    Thank you both!  I ended up going for DupeGuru because it was free and it worked well.   Easy Duplicate Finder baited me with the promise of free download then when the search was over I got the "buy the software" if I wanted to delete more than 10 files.
    DupeGuru worked well and so far I have not been asked for money.
    This solves my question.

  • What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?

    What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
    We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
    Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
    Opinions?

    Hi
    For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
    http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
    It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

  • What is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    what is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    Three issues to consider about an external HD:
    1. Connectivity. In other words, USB 2.0 and Firewire. If you intend to move large chunks of data at once, such as when streaming audio or video for professional applications, then Firewire is better suited for that. Otherwise, for normal applications, USB is ok.
    2. RPMs. In other words, how fast the HD platter spins around. Most consumer HD have a 5400 rpm (rotations per minute) speed. Some HD have a 7200 or even 10,000 rpm spec. The faster the rotation, the faster the access time, the faster information on the HD can be accessed. Not a critical factor unless you deal with audio or video.
    3. Brand. In other words, reliability. Best ones, form my experience, are Seagate and Western Digital. Go for Seagate if you can. I've never had any issues with a Seagate drive. You can also go to your local computer shop and they will have separate drives and enclosures, so you can customize the look and connectivity of your HD.

  • What is the best video editing software for Mac?

    I am trying to edit videos, specifically .wmv and .mpg files to put in PowerPoint presentations. What is the best software for cropping movies as well as cutting different scenes out of video (i.e. making a 2 minute video into a 30 second video). Thanks so much for the help.

    iMovie will not edit WVM nor MPEG-1. You would need to convert the movies to one of the formats iMovie can accept before you could edit them. If you will need the movies to remain or end up in WMV or MPEG-1, I'd suggest looking to a different editor. StreamClip might work for just doing basic editing:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    To edit WMV you'll need the paid Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream:

  • What is the best free invoice software for Mac?

    I'm curious what is the best software for creating invoices on a Mac that is free?
    Thankyou

    http://www.neooffice.org/ as a stand alone software spreadsheet.
    http://www.editgrid.com/ as a web based spreadsheet.
    Both are free, and both give you as much customization as you need to create invoices and have automatic calculation that is never "assumed" by the software and only directed by you how it should proceed.

  • What is the best hard drive cleaner for mac book pro

    I am wanting to clean up my hard drive , any suggestions as to what is the best product for this . I read reviews about ccleaner , which is in the app store but there was some really scary stories ... any suggestions .Thanks

    AppStore software has restrictions on what it can do.
    If you don't like CCleaner for OS X downloaded from their site (not AppStore), then OnyX for OS X at MacUpdate.com has been a long time favorite to clean the caches, log files and what not for privacy and troubleshooting corrupted caches. Followed by a reboot.
    Then a Disk Utility > Erase Free Space with Zero is recommended afterwards to scrub deleted files off the hard drive if that level of privacy cleaning is necessary as deleted files remain on hard drives until overwritten.
    If your having performance problems with your computer then look at this for solutions
    Why is my computer slow?
    If your selling the machine or have to clean it for security reasons
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?
