Hi all,
I have GraphicConverter. I am trying to find a program that will let me modify small .jpg files with things like text (I know GC does this, but I'd like more control over the size and type of font), as well as brackets, lines, et cetera. I know I am probably missing something obvious.

Any ideas? Preferably freeware. I also have Acrobat Pro, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to do what I want.

OK. I am trying to install it, but it needs something (X11?) from the optional install disk. I do not have this disk, because my workplace installed OSX. Can I get this elsewhere or get around this somehow?

What more control over font sizes and types do you want? You can set different fonts and sizes by double clicking the text icon in Graphic Converter.

Thanks!

GraphicConverter also does not allow me to do some other things I need to do--the brackets especially are important for what I am doing. I love it for other reasons, though.
