I need an image editor, an alternative to Photoshop, that is Intel Mac-ready, as in universal binary. I want to be able to apply filters and effects like Photoshop, do those sorts of things, although it doesn't have to be quite as professional-studio ready as Photoshop.
No GIMP. I don't want any GIMP or GIMP-related suggestions because I don't want to install X11. If there is a Cocoa native version of GIMP that would be fine. But no X11!
It can be freeware, shareware, or commercial product, I don't care -- just needs to be universal biinary, reasonably powerful with effects and filters, and no X11 or XDarwin.

The last four are all based on Core Image, I haven't tested any of those.
You know I came to about the same conclusion by downloading demos that between Seashore, GraphicsConverter and in rare cases Pixen, I'd have all I need. Photoline is cool in that it reaches high, but it was so confusing to use I just gave up after a few minutes of trying to work with it. My needs may be simpler than requiring even Photoline, too.
I figured the Core Image group might be a little too not ready for prime-time; I don't want to pick up hassles just to get a few things done. If I wanted to do that, I'd install X11 and use GIMP, or, gads, go back to using Photoshop under Rosetta.
Thanks for thorough, helpful answer.
