Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
True to its name, this popular and affordable app's main functionality is converting graphic files--importing from some 200 formats and exporting to about 80 at last count, with a tremendously time-saving batch processor thrown in for good measure. But GraphicConverter also proves invaluable as a high-speed image editor that lets you quickly browse, resize, sharpen, adjust color, and optimize for the Web, all at a price that makes commercial packages blush.
GraphicConverter's interface hasn't quite kept up with its ever-growing feature set (and many of its most useful features can be accessed outside of the app anyway, through contextual menus), but what this app lacks in simplicity it more than makes up for with copious features. The app also includes extensive documentation, and the program's uber-diligent programmer (whom even Apple has called "one of the most conscientious developers in the shareware universe") provides frequent fixes and updates. Recent changes have included the ability to view images in a "digital light room" browser mode, a completely rewritten backend for support of 64-bit, added support for large images with more than 16,000 X 16,000 pixels, and many more fixes and minor feature enhancements.
If you're looking for a low-cost way to make quick edits to images or batch convert to other formats, this app is a no-brainer for Mac.

"Bad file or what?"
Version: GraphicConverter 8.2
Pros
Not a clue. Can't seem to stop downloading yet.
Cons
The CNET site indicated 124.85MB upgrade to ver 8.2. Tech Tracker & my slow connection have downloaded over 750 MB, and still going, while I was out. What the h---?
Summary
I'm removing this from the tech tracker list... again... but it keeps restarting download anyway.
Good product in the past. -
"Fantastic software! Works on Mac OS X 10.0 you said"
Version: GraphicConverter 4.9.3
Pros
So many graphic types convertible without loss of quality!
Cons
This page doesn't download 4.9.3 as it says. If people want the new version that is easy, those of us who keep old computers working should be able to access 4.9.3 as advertised or are you false advertising?
Summary
Lempke is an angel, the software is heaven itself! Download.CNET is a fantastically useful function - please make version 4.9.3 available or stop listing this page (and a dozen other versions that you don't provide) at the top of google. Make it easy for me to get version 4.9.3 please. Thank you!

"Remains THE Master for Me for Graphics Manipulation"
Version: GraphicConverter 7.6.1
Pros
Truly the "Swiss Army Knife" for graphics. While it has far, far, more tools than for what I've, so far, found need--and when I do have a need, I've found it handled with ease by GraphicConverter. Also, the developer is very responsive to questions and, in the rare instance where I've found a problem, he has implemented a fix very promptly.
Cons
None for me.

"Excellent and I have been using GC for years."
Version: GraphicConverter 7.6.1
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
In version 6 the Tool Box was attached to the window image, so if the window was moved the Tool Box moved with it. It was very convenient.
For whatever reason it wasn't incorporated into version 7 -
"You put up the wrong version again"
Version: GraphicConverter 7.6

Summary
