Good app for graphics like Fireworks?
Anyone know of a good app for the Mac for creating or editing images for the web? Something like Fireworks? I have Gimp but it is not so easy to create/edit images for web pages. At least I have not found it easy ;-)

As you have mentioned Gimp, I guess you are looking for a free app. Try <a href=“http://www.versiontracker.com”>versiontracker</a> as it is the most complete list of mac sw that I know.
Off my head I would suggest image ready (not free and coming the photoshop), Graphic converter (shareware) and not that easy to use as it provides no layers.

I don’t mind if its not a free app, its just that Fireworks is quite expensive. What I would use the app for is to take an existing image, then resize it for a web site and compress the image size. Fireworks does this really well, and I don’t know of any other alternatives.

I was just looking for such an app myself and stumbled upon this one: Imagine.
I haven’t tried it myself yet (since I just found it this afternoon), but there are some cool-looking automator-tasks for the program too:…Prrrrrrrr…

Imagine did not work for me, downloaded and installed but it did not work. Maybe the download is corrupted.

Checked VersonTracker but I did not find any similar apps for web graphics. Imagine did not work for me. Other ideas from anyone?

I’ve heard good things about xara , and an open source mac version is supposed to come out soon.
Inkscape is also quite a good vector package, which does currently have a mac version.

Thanks for that Kemie. Mainly looking for something that can take .jpg’s and optimise them for the web. Or .png’s.

If you just want optimisation and simple stuff, try imagewell

Hi, ImageWell does not really optimise very well. What I would really like is something that takes an image, then crops it to the desired size easily and optimise the file size. Image Well is very good but not really for that.
