Paint Shop Pro
If your goal is to retouch and edit digital photos, the closest you can come to Paint Shop on the Mac is probably Photoshop Elements, a terrific Mac OS X program (about $100) that belongs on the hard drive of any serious digital camera owner. (Any digital camera owner who doesn’t own the full-blown Photoshop program, that is.)
If your goal is to organize and use your photos, rather than paint on them, remember that iPhoto is already on your hard drive.
Finally, if opening and converting graphics to other formats is your main concern, try Preview (Exporting Shots and Movies), whose exporting feature is surprisingly powerful. You may also want to investigate the beloved shareware program GraphicConverter (find and download it at www.versiontracker.com), which may be the last graphics editing/converting program you’ll ever need.
