resizing for Mac

...hi all. I do alot of batch resizing and have been using Pixresizer in my windows machines...well, ,now I'm using a new Mac and there is no *free* equivalent that I can find. Any clues out there?

The above methods are good for general reduction or perhaps enlargement if you are after a "standard" result... For a very different result when enlarging one can use SmillaEnlarger (similar to some expensive commercial enlargement software):

...thanks for the info, guys. Lightroom I've owned since it came out and it's not the ideal for what I want...neither is Preview (although it works well)...I ended-up getting an app called "Pixillion" which fits the bill (although it cost a few bux); it's fast and just a few clicks. It does the same job as Pixresizer on the PC side, only not free!
