GraphicConverter is good at what it's meant for (converting formats)
and the batch processing (if you register it) can be handy, but its
image editing functions are horribly kludgey and messy. I use ColorIt
under Classic to do any image editing / resizing / resolution changes
and then, if needed, GraphicConverter to change the format.

I use other more modern apps like Pixelmator or Affinity Photo for that.

Preview has its strong and weak points - but as a quick looker it's 
great, and the odd "tools" it has are often time savers.

(No idea what GC is/was).

GraphicConverter - a shareware Mac image conversion utility that's been
around since the dark ages.

Oh.  Something like me still using LView in WinXP because it is 
lightning fast when one wants to hunt through a lot of photos or watch a 
straight or randomized slideshow with no fuss  (I don't mean little fuss 
- I mean no fuss).  (Can also do some basic image edits but I don't use 
it for that).

Dark ages of Mac popularity and development, perhaps, but I'll always
love System 6 and even System 7 with it's additional UI clutter :-)

I really just mane "ages ago", but I agree with the rest of what you
said anyway, and still run older systems myself. Say hi to Zippy:

Easier to right click and use an Automator action. And Automator is free
(and comes with OS X).

I have to use GC for that, among other uses. Very useful.

Is there a way to resize in memory without saving as files? Like always 
set 50% of the screen captures I take? I usually screen capture and then 
paste directly into Word 2011 documents.

Nope. You'll have to take a screen shot to a file and resize it. Again,
this can easily be automated with tools built into OS X. 

BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into
Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life
harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word
files to. Word screws up images pasted into Word documents such that it
is often impossible to get anything but a low-resolution copy of the
image out of the document, which can be especially bad if there is text
or other fine details in the image that someone needs to be able to read
easily. I hope you aren't using Word needlessly for this purpose.

Good point. For some of my classes I have students send me screenshots...
and some INSIST on doing it in a Word document no matter how much I tell
them not to.

Interesting. What's the best way to collect screen shots in a document 
file to share with others (Windows and Mac users)? Basically, I screen 
capture into a document with texts for each image online. :)
