[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1714255, member: 234411"] Well, if your main goal is to produce photo prints, then [I]Preview[/I] would allow you to crop and resize your images to a pixel density that will look well depending on the overall dimensions desired. Keep in mind that when printing photos, usually a 300 dpi 'dot density' is desired which requires a LOT of pixels for decent quality - see the first image below - even a 4-6 MP camera can produce decent 'small' prints. On the second image, I brought in a pic taken w/ my 12 MP Panasonic camera - notice the circled 'height & width' of the image which would produce an excellent and fairly large 300 dpi print - I could easily reduce the size w/ Preview to say 6 MP and still get a nice smaller print. Finally, the third pic below shows the 'Print' option available in the File menu of the app, where the image size could be adjusted. Dave :) .
