GraphicConverter GraphicConverter is one of those tools that most longtime Mac users have or at the very least know about. It also, to my knowledge, still gets bundled with pro Macs. There are users that bought it many, many years ago and haven’t paid a penny to upgrade until this version. I believe this may be the first paid upgrade ($19.95 for upgrade, $34.95 for purchase) [Macworld Senior Editor Peter Cohen informs us GraphicConverter 4.2 was also a paid update -DM]. MacUpdate promo bundle buyers also got a free upgrade. The new version contains a ton of new features including:

  • Lossless jpeg cropping added to convert & modify
  • Optional footer to open images added (UB only)
  • Save for web function added
  • Polygon selection tool added
  • Basic layer support added
  • Set gps coordinates from Google Earth added
  • Go to photo position in Google Earth added
  • A ton more

The lossless jpeg cropping is neat trick. If you do a lot of image file conversion or need basic image editing without the hefty Photoshop pricetag, check it out.
