How to get GIMP- Mac

Post by taty MDTKL »

YoI've seen a few tankers talking about GIMP, so i'm gonna tell you how to get it. GIMP, run by X11* (see bottom) has many more features than photoshop!
GIMP NOW WORKS WITH LEOPARD AKA MAC OS 10.5.3. IT WORKS WITH LL WONDOWZE COMPUTERS AS WELL


:monkey: How to get this amazing editing program, just follow these easy steps: :monkey:

Install X11, on the install disc under 'Optoinal Installs.'

Ok, now you have X11 on you're computer. Next, you get the source code from http://www.gimp.org/macintosh
BUT, this will require you to compile it into a Gimp.app, with instructions here: http://www.wilber-loves-apple.org/topic.php?id=8
When you open the app, you'll get a X11 icon in the dock as well. IGNORE THIS! :!: X11 MUST BE RUNNING TO USE GIMP! PS it auto opens!:!:

Also, all of the key commands are control instead of command (the apple key).

You have succesfully mad a GIMP application, and now you're ready to SKIN!! :hello1: :cool: :trampoline:

(from top*)X11 stands for X Window System, version 11. This is the standard graphics display system in the unix world.

Topic moved to Skinning forum as it has everything to do with graphics :)..

Photoshop CS3 is better though, due to its massive amount of functions it is harder to learn and therefor less interesting. Good luck!
