SO, I have a G4 Powerbook Mac, and I need to change the size of an image. I have no idea how I can do that using any of the programs on my mac. On PCs, there is paint. But there's nothing like that on Mac. Is there something I am missing? Please help.

mac has paint, its in the aplications folder. i actually think its way better than pc paint. but you could buy adobe photoshop for mac and scale it down.

you can scale pictures using the unix terminal, but don't ask me how Big Grin

i don't have paint - never heard of it for mac - are you sure ktabes?

i also think iPhoto can scale, can't it? in some sort of export menu or something? And doesn't Image Capture have some sort of scale down helper apps somewhere?

sorry - i just use PhotoShop so i can't remember the specifics of all the other ways.

iPhoto can do it.

There may be shareware apps too.

I've tried everything in iPhoto and I cannot find ANY way to scale pictures whatsoever.

And I have a Powerbook. There is no Paint on my computer from what I can see.
