Hello all!

I was looking for a small, fast graphics editor for Mac OS X. Sure you can manipulate photos with iPhoto, but I was looking for small imaging editing program (similar to Photo Editor or Paint.net for Mac).

I prefer using Chocoflop for pure speed, features and interface (even though it's still in Alpha):

My second choice would be Seashore or The Gimp. The Gimp has a Universal package but you need to run with X11. Seashore has nice Aqua and Cocoa interface but it only has PowerPC version. Ideally, I would vote for Seashore for Universal for second choice (if they ever come out with).

I'm sure there are lots of Photoshop users, but I was looking for lightweight image editing program.

What are your thoughts? What do you use?

Hi Proteo:

Thanks for the link. I've downloaded and installed on my "Mac". This version works great and loads fast.
