Use 2.8.14p1 instead.Īs far as free bitmap-based graphics editors go, GIMP is probably the best. Note: version 2.8.14p2 is pretty much unusable, it crashes about 50% of the time when opening an image (this includes effects that spawn new image windows), and it also sometimes crashes while trying to save.

It didn't have as many features, but at least I could figure out how to work the features it did have. I wish I could still use the ColorIt program that came with my first iMac in 1999. It goes from frustrating to maddening to infuriating. Nothing works as you expect.Įxample: click the airbrush tool, set the color in the dialogue box, try to use the airbrush, and it DOES NOTHING. The problem is figuring out how to make it do them. Opaque, anti-intuitive, complex, user-hostile.

It's a powerful graphics tool that is available for free on multiple platforms. GIMP's developers never claimed it was a drop-in clone of Photoshop or any other commercial application. It's not fair to expect one program to work just like another, unless the second program specifically claims to do that. GIMP has its own interface paradigm, as do other complex programs like Blender, and you have to learn *GIMP* as it was meant to work. With regard to the reviews criticizing GIMP for not being easy to use, I think those people are expecting it to work like Photoshop or other applications. My reason for this is that installing your port is extremely easy, so in this context I interpret the 'ease' category relating to the port and packaging and not to the application itself. Thank you so much for your efforts in porting this and maintaining it so conscientiously on a continuing basis! I'm giving your port 5 stars, although GIMP itself would get only 4 stars for 'ease of use'. This is an excellent and reliable port of GIMP to OSX.

Top 4 Download periodically updates software information of Gimp for Mac 2.10.4 full version from the publisher, but some. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition, and image authoring. do not see any interface easier than photoshop. Resizing an image doesn't work how it should doing the whole photo, it just does either length or width. You can't even save a photo as a jpg, let alone tif, eps. The reason not to use it, its super slow. The people saying this is a must for any photographer out there is a stay at home mom with a hobby and no training. As an avid Photoshop user and photographer, this is worthless in my eyes. Tho people are saying you can't complain because it's free, is not not.
