Powerful photo editing suite
When editing, converting and even managing images on a Mac, the obvious choice can tend to be to use iPhoto, Aperture or Lightroom. GraphicConverter (formerly known as GraphicConverterX) is not as well known, even though it's definitely a contender.
Most recently, GraphicConverter has been updated with a slick new Cocoa interface which makes it look more like iPhoto. Regular users may or may not like this shift closer to iPhoto but it does make GraphicConverter slightly easier to use. The functionality is till pretty much the same though. GraphicConverter comes with two browsing views which let you dig in deep in folders and find your images. It can also convert images into most of the popular image formats out there.
Although there clearly aren't as many editing tools as in Aperture or Lightroom, GraphicConverter comes with a very wide list of filters and effects that you can place onto your images all of which are accessible from the menu bar. GraphicConverter lacks the more advanced web sharing features that are integrated into iPhoto however.
Thanks to a revamped interface plus some powerful and accessible features, GraphicConverter is a solid photo application for managing, converting and editing your pictures.
