Best program for resizing photos?

[tam]

I used to used Irfanview on my windows-based lappy, and now I've come to find they don't have a mac version. What programs do you guys use and recommend? [besides pshop of course..]

Read in this forum that you can do it in 'preview' but im a PS man myself

Imagewell is fun. I suggest to do a search of the forum because this question comes alone all the time ;D

If you say not Photoshop because of money, try the Gimp, an open source version similar to that. http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/

If the application is JUST resizing, ImageWell is excellent and very fast.

Another vote for ImageWell here.

I think there is an app called something like QuickResize, but I can't remember exactly.

I enjoy photoshop, you can setup a script to do the work for you.

Open a photo to resize.
Go to the action menu
Click to start a new script and name it (recording begins automatically in CS3)
Go through the process of changing the size and saving the file (overwrite the file). Once you've finished and the file is saved, click the stop button i nthe actions script to stop recording.

Then go to File -> Script -> choose the folder of images, set the output folder, style, etc. Select the script and run it. Will resize your scripts, not super fast and I'm sure there are better ways.

Personally I just use the feature of my website to resize them as I upload them (I get the option of choosing original size, 1024, 800x600, 640x480, or custom) and then host from there.
