two things: have any of you upgraded to leopard or snow leopard. if so, do you by any chance use CS3. how have CS3 and plugins been impacted. also, is anyone using a version of paintshop pro for mac? there seem to be some wonderful things you can do in there.

CS3 is sadly neither tested or supported in Snow Leopard and Adobe say they aren't going to either. Bit harsh of them but there you go. CS4 works fine apparently in the new OS.

i just got my first mac.. is photo filtre mac compatible? if not, are there any free programs that are mac compatible that have resizing features?

I'm not using a mac, but I did find this.. which indicates that there should be no real compatibility issues with CS3 and Snow Leopard;

Do Adobe Creative Suite 3 products support Snow Leopard?

I don't see that Corel Paintshop Pro X2 has a version that is compatible with macs.



Alternatives that I found;

GIMPshop

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Not sure about Snow Leopard though.

"is photo filtre mac compatible?" Apparently not.
Start with iphoto. It is included with your mac. It is a photo management program that has some useful editing features. To re-size you will have to choose export in the file menu.
or-
To resize only - just double click the image file to open in preview and choose adjust size from the tools menu.

For any serious editing and such the GIMP is excellent free software as tealeaves has linked below.

Carol.. I don't see that Photofiltre supports macs, but have you tried the GIMP?

GIMP for Mac OS X

Here are some other free editors for the mac

thank you both! going to try those now :-)
