Yeah, I think that is what I am going to end up doing.
Feh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found what I used: Graphic Converter which came with, although it seems I can buy it. But it was free with Tiger. Where'd it go???? That's not fair.

Hey. New board.
Graphic Converter has never come free with the OS, Tiger or otherwise. However, it HAS come free with various generations of new Macs, just like iLife comes free with all new Macs.

Hey. New board.
Oh, yeah, I do indeed have an Intel Mac. Sorry about that.
Seriously, though, check Preview. With Leopard it added some good color-balance stuff under Tools->Adjust Color, and it can definitely resize and crop just fine.

I paid for iLife '09 when I upgraded, overall I think it was worth it. The new iPhoto is pretty fantastic.
(The new iMovie, on the other hand, I may actually hate EVEN MORE than its predecessors. And my old version of FCX won't run on my new computer because I don't have the right graphics card. Which means I'll probably wind up paying to upgrade - the newer versions can run on the integrated MacBook Pro graphics cards. Oh, and Avid discontinued FreeDV somewhere along the way. BOO EXPENSIVE NONLINEAR EDITING SOFTWARE.)

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Going back a bit to that list. The Blu Ray is doomed but maybe not for a while. Swinburne Uni in Australia has developed a new system that can store up to 64 HiDef movies on a DVD. It's all to do with different coloured lasers n shit like that but even though they've signed a development deal with Samsung, it won't be commercially available for at least 5 years.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holographic storage, which the Swinburne technology is a variant of, has been five years away for the past thirty years or so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Sorta' like how AI was ten years away for 30 or 40 years. Now it's 20 to 30 years away for the last ten years.

I'm predicting that iOverlord will be announced at MacWorld 2015.

Yes, but it will be marketed as iProtector.
