GIMP on OS X

  • Reported by Nate

For any os x users itching to try out the legendary GIMP application, install instructions are available from frownland. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), is an open source application which is often compaired to Adobe Photoshop in terms of it's feature set. Despite the comfort in knowing that an application of this magnitude is available at no cost, I think I'll skip the 13 easy steps towards installation. On the other hand, if Adobe doesn't get with the program and make ATM for os x sometime soon, I might get upset enough with the company to be tempted. Don't adjust your brains, that indeed was a very disjointed association.

I'd like to know how to do layers in Gimp. Aside from gif optimizaton, this is one of the big deal-breakers for me.

... and the $609 pricetag isn't a dealbreaker, Andy?

I think improved productivity justifies the price. After all, you need only a few saved workhours to compensate.

The increased productivity using Adobe definitely makes up for the cost. Especially if you pirate it. jk.

No CMYK = No printing more complex than desktop quality. Try sending your print shop an RGB document and watch them take your head off.
