Does what I need it to do

It definitely has its limitations, but I will typically create an image in Pages page layout mode first. Pages has its own limitations in that area as well, but I just use Live Quartz to make up for it. I typically use Live Quarts for easy, proportional size adjustment. Pages and Preview simply dont have the right tools for that. The image editing software in Live Quartz works fine for me, too, for my needs. While Ive only ever heard people gripe about Gimp, Im always pleased whenever I use Live Quartz.
