I bought v8 after many years of using it very occasionally as a free
program.I've not updated to v9.

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

I remember when you used the actual camera. When and what did you switch
to for screenshots?

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.

I just bring screenshots up in Preview and save them as smaller files,
so that's an option if you don't want to use Automator.

That's usually what I do as well. And if I am doing it a lot, I use
AppleScript or Automator to automated it.

Instead of the fully automated script I quoted before, I would likely have
a System Service set so any image I want can be resized to 1/2 resolution.
I am not on retina so no need here.

I'd make it a service too, since that would let you simply right-click the
image(s) on the desktop to resize them. I've written image conversion
folder actions in the past as well.
