General Info: Downsize is a handy image resizer. It allows you the basic functions of re-sizing and goes that bit further to provide you with watermarking, adding image borders and adding shadows. Downsize neatly intergrates into your iPhoto library, allowing you to choose albums to Downsize. Although it does not let you choose custom pictures from your iPhoto library. If you don’t use iPhoto, or have a folder of images you need resizing then you can do that too. I found Downsize best for batch resizing photos in albums or in folders. I added watermarks, borders and sizing options to a batch of 24 photos, and it wasn’t long before I had a folder of resized images with my watermark all over them (what I’m trying to say is, its quick). So then, in conclusion, Downsize is great for batch resizing, where you don’t need individual control over each image, its preview function is quick, it took seconds to get a preview for my iPhoto library (over 3000 photos), but if you need greater control over each image, I’d personally use QuickScale. Saying that, Downsize is very intuitive, and if you just need a simple resizing job done, it does it very quickly, easily and with no fuss at all.
