“Bring out the Gimp!”

“Gimp’s sleeping.”

“Well, I guess you’re gonna have to go wake him up now, won’t you? “

What are you thinking???? Not that GIMP!!!

I mean Theeeee GIMP, the open source (image editing program) alternative to Photoshop.

And I’m here to tell you that it has taken a major leap forward in ease-of-use ( at least installation wise) for us Mac users. Although it is completely free and a great program, installing it has been a major pain in the @%&!!! and has required that X11 be installed (Inkscape, another great program that still requires X11 also). All that has changed with version 2.8! The app is now a self-contained native app that installs by simply “draggin and droppin” from the .dmg.

First, lets dowload GIMP:

Download

Ok…the only thing left to do is mount the DMG and drag the app to you Applications folder. That’s it!!! Installed!!!

GIMP Install
GIMP Install

 

 

Now Bring out the GIMP!!!!
