Graphic Converter from <http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphcon.htm>is a brilliant 30$ shareware that is pretty good for a lot of graphics things. A non-upgradable version came included with my 15" AlBook, but I am tempted to pay the shareware fee anyway, just because the application keeps getting better and better, see the history for the past versions to see how it evolves here: http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphversionsueb.htm Three places to look for Mac applications, and not just for graphics apps are: <http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/> <http://www.macshareware.net/index.php?page=0&only=x&alpha=> <http://www.macupdate.com/index.php?os=macosx> If you for instance need a button application and not a full fledged graphics app, there are quite a few of them too. To illustrate, I just made a quick search at versiontracker here: <http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=b utton&plt%5B%5D=macosx&x=13&y=8> And if you should want something that is allowed to cost money, there are both Adobes Creative Suite and Macromedia Studio MX 2004.
