Updatex2
I have started playing with another image editor for OS X that is closer to MS Paint or Paint.NET than Pixen, which is called Seashore. So far, it seems pretty good.
For serious photographers, editing on the Mac is still the best way to go about it. While Apple gives you the built-in Photos app, which does have some basic photo editing tools already integrated, sometimes you need a little more oomph. Here are the best photo editing apps for Mac. 0 (fr) mac os.
Original Post When I posted about my first Mac OS X annoyance, I had already known about a couple gems for image manipulation on OS X, but these didn't fit my pixel pushing needs. First up is ImageWell, which is a very good and free image editor, but its not Photoshop Lite. It's more like a blogger best friend. Mac-nipulation In William Shakespeare's play 'Macbeth', manipulation is a very effective device.The main character Macbeth is a puppet controlled by the words coming from the three witches and Lady Macbeth. Verdict: Openshot is an open source Mac video editing software. It may remind iMovie with its easy to use drag-and-drop interface. However, Openshot contains more features than iMovie, including an unlimited number of layers and sound mixing. This free video editor for Mac offers a good balance between advanced features and a simple interface. Mac OS Image Editing Apps Many of us have become frustrated with the payable versions of such software but what makes this app financially comfortable is the price of $30 for Mac OS X users. Just think of an image and you will get it soon with Pixelmator software which has got amazing filters and a wide variety of color and editing tools.
UpdateAnthony from On Various Things pointed me toward Pixen in a comment on this original post. To create the screenshot for my most recent post I had to crop the Parallels image from a full desktop screenshot (CMD-SHIFT-3) and then scale it to fit in the space Blogger has allocated for posts on this 800x600 template. Copying the Parallels pixels in Pixen, no problem, creating a new image from the pixels on the clipboard, slow but usable, trying to scale the image with any of the 3 supported algorithms, Pixen crash! I then went back to ImageWell to get it done. Sorry Pixen, you have been Trashed.

Get an image processed maybe with some text on it, and then send it off to the net. This is working out pretty well since I can post an image to my .Mac hosting folder I use for all my images in 1 click.
The other one that has been very cool is Ping!. This app is very simple, you just drop PNGs on it and it optimizes the file size very small without any degradation in image quality. I kept the icon in my Dock, then I drag any number of PNGs onto it. Ping! will launch, optimize, save the images in place, and then quit. For example, I take screenshots in OS X all the time (Apple-Shift-4) and OS X saves these to your Desktop as PNG files. A recent screenshot I took weighed in at 20 KB, but after Ping put it on a diet, it was down to 16 KB. The only thing I don't like about the application is the name, to me
