Hey, there. It seems to be a good choice for Linux users, but for Mac users, i wanna introduce an image resizing tool called PhotoMagic, which is poweful and easy to use. It has a serise of functions including crop, flip, rotate, resize etc. You can set the images to any size you want, and make wallpapers for your iphone or PSP.
If you are a Mac user, you might as well go have a look.
