Use 2.8.14p1 instead.Īs far as free bitmap-based graphics editors go, GIMP is probably the best. Note: version 2.8.14p2 is pretty much unusable, it crashes about 50% of the time when opening an image (this includes effects that spawn new image windows), and it also sometimes crashes while trying to save.
It's a powerful graphics tool that is available for free on multiple platforms. GIMP's developers never claimed it was a drop-in clone of Photoshop or any other commercial application. It's not fair to expect one program to work just like another, unless the second program specifically claims to do that. GIMP has its own interface paradigm, as do other complex programs like Blender, and you have to learn *GIMP* as it was meant to work. With regard to the reviews criticizing GIMP for not being easy to use, I think those people are expecting it to work like Photoshop or other applications. My reason for this is that installing your port is extremely easy, so in this context I interpret the "ease" category relating to the port and packaging and not to the application itself. I'm giving your port 5 stars, although GIMP itself would get only 4 stars for "ease of use". Thank you so much for your efforts in porting this and maintaining it so conscientiously on a continuing basis!
The size of this image is 22 kB.Ĭongratulations! You have been successful.This is an excellent and reliable port of GIMP to OSX. Go to Finder or terminal and go to where you exported the image to check size. Then click Export on the right botttom side of the window and export the image where you want to. Move image so you are satified with what you see, as seen below. Note: Gimp will save/export only what you see on the screen. For this example, lock the width and height together by clicking on the broken chain, and choose 750 px. You can see the boundary of the image is a dashed line.Ĭhose the scale button on the toolbarto scale the image. Keep doing this unitl you see the top let corner of the image. Start at the top left and drage to bottom right, you may need to do this multiple times. If it is like my images it will come in huge and you will only be able to see small portion of it. Go to the folder you have your uncompressed image stored. Note: The white box is the only part of the image you will be able to see and export. Resize the window to see more of the gray area. This is a header image size I commonly use. For our example, width = 600 and height is 100. Press Command N to open a new file and a "Create New Image" window appears.Ĭhoose the image size width and height. It is free to download and is good for compressing many image files to web size. Gimp is a GNU Image Manipulation program.
