Does anyone know of a good image resizer for OS X?
I am not entirely happy with the standard output of LR (directly or through Mogrify) as i feel the image quality is being reduced.
In my Win7 system i use this awesome app called PicResizer (or IrfanView), but not able to find the perfect solution for the MAC (Am still taking baby steps in the mac :) )
It would be great if i could use something seamlessly in the LR workflow...
Looking forward to your thiughts

What are your "export" setting with LR? I think you probably could create a custom export setting just to post pics on the web. Just a hint is that you have to make sure your export settings are actually resizing the pics (down to 1200x1200 @ 72 dpi) and do not use the jpeg compression too much. I see some pics that have kept their 3200x2600 and that are compressed too much by jpeg and they look terrible. Better get the file small first and compress less.

You can also resize using the Mac picture viewer. Look under "tools" but just make sure you save under a new name otherwise you'll loose your original definition.

Why not just use Preview!
