Preferences>Image Editor for MAC

Thank you. That is a direct answer. Everyone, you were all so very kind to answer and I really do apperciate it that you all tried so hard to help me. But yes, you weren't quite understanding.
No paint doesn't do anything much and we'll problably do no more than some silly scribble on the image.
I suppose even iphoto would do even if it does nothing just to show that we can exit and re-enter.

If you could just confirm the path????? Thanks much.

Susan, the path to iphoto is:

Macintosh HD/Applications/iphoto

As was mentioned before, though, iphoto is basically useless and you may be doing your students a disservice in steering them that direction. Perhaps better to suggest GraphicConverter, Photoshop, Gimp, etc.

The path to those would be identical to the one I have above, though with some (photoshop, for sure) has an additional folder you need to bore through to get to the actual program.

Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3 for example

This really is a remarkably painful thread Susan..... Good luck,

iphoto is more of a picture organizer. macs do not ship with any app for photo editing.

Funny, you guys are so good at reading and understanding very complicated instructions on using software applications.

If I could ask just one more thing, and please if you don't mind, no more kind suggestions of any other program to use, Iphoto will do for the demonstration: wouldn't the correct path end with iphoto.app as in the visual example from sketchUP way above with gimp which is gimp.app?

Thanks much. Thanks Chris.

yes.

/applications/iphoto.app

Thank you!!

Susan:

Preview is built-in to the Mac OS and has basic editing abilities. Check it out and see if it does what you need. I discovered this when I was needing to resize and touch up some images.

If I can just add my two bob's worth hopefully answering your question about mac image editors - if you set your Sketchup preferences (Applications - applications for editing image files - /Applications/iPhoto.app), as mentioned; and then set your iPhoto preferences (General - edit photo - full screen) you end up in the iPhoto editor.
This is an image editor for photos more than anything else (and not a bad one) but at least it will show the functioning of the in-Sketchup edit texture image process.

Cheers
