An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp once you have Macports installed.


Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp.


Fink is a package repository that offer mostly precompiled binaries. It provides the apt-get command known to e.g. Debian and Ubuntu users, and installing GIMP is as easy as sudo apt-get install gimp once you have installed the Fink installer. If there's no binary package, then fink install gimp will compile GIMP from source.


GIMP stands for, simply, Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program). It is free software that was developed by the GNU project (GNU is an open source software license) and is very similar to the widely used free Photoshop and Corel Draw software. Unlike Photoshop, however, gimp does not come with a default variety of features. This software allows users with only little experience in image editing, to create professional looking images with little effort.


Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use).


This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.


This software is no longer available for the download. This could be due to the program being discontinued, having a security issue or for other reasons.


If you're looking for a free copy of Photoshop for Mac, the best (and legal) thing for you to do is to download Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Gimp is free software and is part of the GNU free software operating system Project. This page focuses on getting Mac users started with Gimp, and contains my first impressions of Gimp vs Photoshop. This article is primarily for anyone who has never installed or used Gimp before, and wants to know what to expect in the first ten minutes. Gimp 2.6 is the version I installed for the purposes of this article.


In order to run Gimp on Mac OS X you'll need to install Apple's X11 environment (although it may already be installed, as was the case on my G5 running Snow Leopard 10.6.1). If you don't have it already, it's included on the "Optional Installs" package on the OS X install disk. Alternatively you can download it from Apple.


To download and install Gimp on your Mac, visit Gimp and click the Download link at the top of the site. It will take you to a page where you need to select a version appropriate for your operating system. Once downloaded, mount the disk on your desktop (this should happen automatically) and you'll see a window open like this:


Reece 18 april 2010, 00:53 - Reply Hi David,I am a big fan of your work and your enthusiasm in helping people create better art.I am having difficulty understanding if it is possible to use Gimp-Painter on a Mac. I have searched the web and can't find much about this. Only windows.Do you have any links to where to download mac os x versions of these tools or do they not exist?CheersReece


David Revoy Author, 18 april 2010, 09:53 - Reply Hi Reece ; I didn't tested it cause I don't own a mac. But here the link from the author : -painter/downloads/33685/gimp-painter--2.6.5_081110-1_macppc.dmg/ -painter/downloads/33617/gimp-painter--2.6.2_081103-1_macppc.dmg/Some users complained about, Normally the website " -painter.blogspot.com/" give a mac build, but it look down or broken since few days only. Too bad, first deadlink of the DVD. I saw this if you are interrested to talk with the original mac author : =753764 Happily I've downloaded the build the authors provide and cause it's GPL software, I can redistribute it. I pasted the link on the server of the Blender Foundation, find it here : -v2-6-6-Mac-Intel.dmgThanks for your nice comment ! And give feedback if it works, it will be useful for many users. ( I will report this answer on the official thread of Blenderartist forum )


Reece 19 april 2010, 23:27 - Reply Hi David,Thank you so much for providing this information. I installed the top link download from the author and your Durian hosted link. Both worked. I prefer the one on the Durian server as it is a later build. I also installed your brush kit. For Gimp Painter even though I have an iMac, I needed to follow the linux instructions i.e. I copied the files to my /Users/UserName/.gimp-2.6 folder. I did have a folder in Application Support/Gimp but that was used by the regular version of Gimp I had installed.I just purchased a new Wacom Intuos4 medium and am very keen to try it out with your DVD tutorials.Thanks again.Reece


Uli 20 october 2010, 12:44 - Reply Hi David,first i wanna explain that i'm brand new to this blender thing. I just recieved your DVD Chaos & Evultion (looks fantastic)and was very exited to start the workshop.But i have problems ... maybe you can help me.I work with a mac with snow leo. After copying gimp panter to the application folder it opens well with x11.But i cannot customize it with your brush tool kit. The gimp painter doesn't create a folder inside the application support as it has to do. So i cannot put all these stuff inside it. Second i tried it with a version of GIMP (not gimppainter) especially for snow leopardi found on www. This one creates a folder for the brush kit. BUT in the tools palette aren't TWO brushers, only one. And after newstart theres no splash. But your new brushes are visible/usable. What can i do?Thanks for taking time, best regardsUli


Ulrich Hengst 20 october 2010, 16:24 - Reply @ reecehi, i tried what you did. The Linux way on the mac, cause i, like you, got no folder for gimp painter in my application support.But i cannot do myself a folder in USERS/USERNAME/.gimp-2.6 because its not allowed to name a folder starting with a dot.I get an error telling that filenames starting with a dot are reserved for the system.How did you exactly did it?Maybe you can explain me.I work with a Mac OSX 10.6.4 on a brand new mac mini 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.thanks for answeringregards uli


uli 20 october 2010, 23:32 - Reply Hi David,i got it! I did it myself, and i write it for other mac-users getting in trouble like me.I downloaded an full version of gimp from here -painter/releases/the version: gimp-painter--2.6.10_100627-1_SnowLeopard.dmgThats an older one, than i had first.After installing it the first good sign : I had the TWO BRUSHES!And it did create a folder inside users/username/library/application support.Than, as you told, copying the brush tool kit content in this folder, restart the Gimp .... AND .. I got the splash! Yeah.Now lets try your workout ...Ciao from munich ...Uli


Deevad Author, 21 october 2010, 13:31 - Reply @Uli : Good you found a way to install it :) I'm not an apple user and I would be lost to give you advice on it. I'm happy it work for you. All user have a great patience to take time to install this gimp-painter fork correctly ; but it worth the time spent on it.


Deevad Author, 25 november 2010, 02:32 - Reply @Vibgyor: Hi ! Nice to know you adopted Gimp as a main tool too :) The "read only brushes" belong to the default installed preset ; and can be found on the 'software installation directory'. On Windows, I guess it's "c/Program Files/GIMP/share/gimp/2.0/brushes" folder or something similar depending on your instalation and Gimp version. Here you can rename and clean if you want to keep only the needed ones.Hope it will work for you ;)


Stalcry 30 march 2011, 15:56 - Reply Once again, amazing brushes :) I wasn't really a Gimp fan, but I saw these brushes so I decided to install gimp-painter and I love it to death! These brushes are very useful! Thank you!


David REVOY Author, 17 march 2012, 18:58 - Reply @gimpluver0011 : Use a file extractor. -zip.org/ is compatible with windows. documentation on how to open a tar.gz is easy to find via google , btw.


Dependencies: JHead et Jpegtran (only for Autorotate) are needed to manipulate EXIF datas. Gimp-2.6 can't do it yet. JHead is available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. Jpegtran is available for Linux and Windows. Here you can find a Jpegtran Mac OSX binary and 7zip set of Windows binaries to download. 2ff7e9595c
