I’ve used the ‘native’ version for a few years it seems from Macports, native-GTK hasn’t impressed me much in the past neither in the ‘nativeness’ or speed department. Gimp is pretty great, I spent about 2 minutes and made this silly star thing, but if you have any artistic ability at all you will easily exceed my capabilities. Try Gimp out yourself, it’s free, cross platform compatible, and it beats the fudge out of something like MS Paint. Though Pixelmator remains the best Photoshop alternative for Mac users it also costs $15, and Gimp is a perfectly adequate solution for anyone looking to do some quick image editing and adjustments without shelling out any money at all. Once in Gimp you’ll find many of the familiar image editing tools, like layers, brushes, filters, text tools, color adjustments, and much more. Note if you have GateKeeper enabled you’ll want to right-click Gimp and choose “Open” to temporarily get around Gatekeeper‘s developer restrictions in OS X. Just download, and launch the app like any other.ĭrag Gimp to the /Applications/ folder like any other Mac app to install it, then launch as usual. Yes, I can imagine that it is possible, but I've not tried this.The newest version of Gimp for Mac OS X is bundled as a self-contained native app, that means no X11 installations, no Xcode, nothing but a simple dmg download. (6) If my display environment problem is fixed, then is there somewhere I can make an alias for gimp on the desktop and use an icon or do I have to keep invoking it from the command line? Is is still free (as in beer)? I've heard that there is a pay version of gimp-2.x for Mac about somewhere. (5) Should I uninstall gimp using DarwinPorts and then download & install the packaged gimp.app by Aaron Voisine? Sorry, I don't know anything about DarwinPorts. What should I do? I tried to install x11 and the installer won't let me by stating that I had a new version already installed. Make sure a proper setup for your display environment exists. GIMP could not initialize the graphical user interface. (3) When I tried to run it from the command line by typing in: (2) It placed everything under /opt/local/ It is just going to be called "gimp" not gimp.app (I don't think). (1) Couldn't find the executable gimp.app anywhere on my hard drive.
