For mac people on any program
I'm not completely happy with the algorithm used in photoshop for resizing pics, so I did some research. With some digging I found: PhototoolCM. It plugs into Mac OS, so that when you ctrl click on a file or folder, it activates a drop down menu. The PhotoExif Tool gives you all sorts of neat stats that may or may not be helpful. What is helpful is PhotoTools itself.
1. It allows you to batch change lots of things, including, lossless orientation, cleaning (reduced size), file dates, renames, resize and add frames. Check out this screen shot for what I'm talking about.
2. The resize option opens another dialog box. This is where things get interesting. In addition to size changes, you have options for image quality and a sharpness filter. Playing around with this gave me much better results than I got in photoshop.
3. The frames dialog box gives you all sorts of neat frames to add to your pic, 56 to begin with and these can be rotated.
What is extra nice is all this can be done to a single pic or a batch and since it is a plug-in is independent of any graphics editing program.
I thought I'd pass that along.
