You will be downloading directly from other pages
and FTP sites, and as such, you should be sure to check ANY software
you download for viruses. I suggest you purchase Norton AntiVirus for Mac, but a high quality
freeware application exists and it's called Disinfectant.

MacShare recommends:
GraphicConverter
UPDATED!
- Version Number: 3.9.1
- Revision Date: July 9, 2000
- Byte Size: 2484 KB
- License: Shareware
- Homepage
- GraphicConverter converts pictures to different formats. It also contains many
useful features for picture manipulation. GraphicConverter imports virtually any graphic format you can imagine. GraphicConverter exports PICT, Startup-Screen, MacPaint, TIFF (uncompressed, packbits and lzw), GIF, PCX, GEM-IMG/-XIMG, BMP, IFF/LBM, TGA, PSD, JPEG/JFIF, HP-GL/2, EPSF, Movie (QuickTime), SUN, PICS, PICT in Resource, PBM/PGM/PPM, SGI, TRS-80, ppat and SOFTIMAGE. And last but not least GraphicConverter has the special feature to convert complete folders or a set of pictures from one format to another format.
- MacShare comments: I highly recommend this item. If you only
use one graphic application, this is the one you need.
JPEGView
- Version Number: 3.3.1
- Revision Date: January 1, 1997
- Byte Size: 778K
- License: Postcardware
- JPEGView is a fast, powerful image viewer for both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintoshes.
JPEGView can open and display images in JPEG, PICT, GIF, TIFF, BMP, MacPaint, or
Startup Screen formats.
- MacShare comments: I also highly recommend this item. You need this to
view off-line any downloaded images from your web-browser. It does a much cleaner job of displaying JPEG images than GraphicConverter or ANY web-browser.
GIFConverter
- Version Number: 2.4.4
- Revision Date: November 7, 1998
- Byte Size: 2.35 meg
- License:Shareware
- Homepage
- GIFConverter will display any GIF, TIFF, RIFF, MacPaint, Thunderscan,
Startupscreen, RLE, or PICT file on any Macintosh. It uses color QuickDraw on color
Macintoshes.
- MacShare comments: Many of my Macintosh friends recommend that you have this application as well as JPEGView and Graphic Converter in your software library (you should consider buying Adobe(TM) Photoshop(TM), as well). It does the best job of displaying GIF images and has some nice graphic editing tools.
Desktop Textures Suite
- Version Number: 2.1
- Revision Date: February 5, 1998
- Byte Size: 1140K
- License: Send-what-you-like-ware
- Desktop Textures includes: The Installer Application, Texture Randomizer, the
Texture Scroller,and presents four texture files: Textures Volumes I, II and III and a
32-bit Texture Supplement. Unlike other texture installers, this one does not require
an Extension or Control Panel to be placed in the System Folder. The included textures
can add considerably to the perception of depth on your desktop. There are even several which can be viewed (Stare-E-O style) as true three-dimensional patterns.
- MacShare comments: In my opinion, this is THE best texture installer on
the "market". It is very easy to use, much like the Scrapbook that comes with your
system software. Installing a pattern is as easy as a single click. If you are tired
of the standard patterns that came with your Mac, this is for you.
