How to get GIMP- Mac

[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


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

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!!

(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!

once you use PS you wouldn't use gimp.

Gimp has a better price though.

yes, the price is better.

btw, i was comparing it to my *ancient* version of photoshop, Photoshop Elements 2.0..

^one little thing, u dont have to have X11 running Gimp automatically activates X11 through apple script. , yes i agree its better then photoshop

yes, it does.
it auto-opens and hides when you open GIMP.
