Pixel Image Editor
Pixel is lightweight and suprisingly fast (the PowerPC app ran quite fast on my MacbookPro). The application is still in development, but you can download a copy and purchase a license if you like what you see. Pre 1.0 purchases are $32. The price will go up in the $70-$100 price range once the app reaches 1.0.
