Hi David, I have had Graphic Converter on my mac for years. It is a very useful program. I had an Epson Album that someone sent me that even Graphic Converter could not open, so I emailed Thorsten Lemke and he wrote a patch and updated the software with the new file type. How's that for service!
As an alternative to Photosh*** I use Pixelmator http://www.pixelmator.com/ It's much cheaper and a lot of the actions are the same so you do not have to learn new short cuts.
