The Gimp Macos

Let’s Try and Hit 100 Likes.Hello Friends, in this Tutorial, we would be discussing:- How to Download and Install Gimp for Macbook Air / Macbook Pro / Mac. Welcome to Gimp.cc another alternative website for downloading GNU Image Manipulation Program for Windows, Linux, and MacOs. This website developed by web design professionals who actually use GIMP in their day to day tasks. GIMP is a short form for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Which version of GIMP works well with MacOS 10.12 Sierra? Current version is 2.8.18 but, I read that the last stable version that works with Sierra is 2.8.14. Is GIMP blocked from installing due to being an unknown developer? That is what I get when try to open the dmg. What is GIMP for Mac GIMP is a multi-platform photo manipulation tool. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The GIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image composition, and image construction.

GIMP for Unix-like systems

If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP!

The flatpak build is new and has known limitations, though it will likely provide faster updates, following GIMP releases closely.
Therefore choose your installation medium according to your needs.

Flatpak build available in: x86-64 and AArch64 (note: i386 and ARM-32 versions used to be published, yet are now stuck at GIMP 2.10.14 and 2.10.22 respectively).

Flatpak additional instructions

The flatpak link above should open your software installer and prompt you to install GIMP. Yet it may not work out-of-the-box on some platforms since the flatpak technology is new. If that is the case, ensure flatpak is installed and if clicking the link still does not prompt to install GIMP, then manually install by command line:

flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref

Once installed, it will be made available exactly the same way as other applications (menus, desktop overview, or any specific application launch process used by your desktop).
If this is not the case, we suggest to report a bug to your desktop or distribution asking for proper support of flatpak. In the meantime, you can still run it by command line (not as the recommended method, only a workaround):

flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable

This installation will also provide regular update. You don't have to come back on this page and install again (it will not work!) when a new version of GIMP is released. Instead if your distribution and/or desktop has a good support for flatpak, it should propose to perform updates.
Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:

flatpak update

Systems without flatpak support

GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.

GIMP for macOS

Note: the currently available package provides GIMP 2.10.22 and has not yet updated to the latest version, GIMP 2.10.24. We're working on that, please check back later.

Updated on 2021-01-31: GIMP 2.10.22 DMG revision 3
Performance improvements on Big Sur and on previous macOS versions

The download links above will attempt to download GIMP from one of our trusted mirror servers. If the mirrors do not work or you would rather download directly from our server, you can get the direct download here.

Supported OS: macOS 10.9 Mavericks or over

Since the 2.8.2 version, GIMP runs on OSX natively. No X11 environment is required.

Native build

The official GIMP 2.10 DMG installer (linked above) is a stock GIMP build without any add-ons. Just open the downloaded DMG and drag and drop GIMP into your 'Applications' folder.

The SHA256 hash sum for gimp-2.10.22-x86_64-3.dmg is: 844dc06731cbd8ccaa6ffd4e0c74ad49ed1ecb6ae65db71988102acb6c219d56

Older Downloads

Previous installers for OSX can be found here: download.gimp.org.

Macports

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.

Last we checked, the GIMP port file pointed to the current stable release and we have reports from people who've built GIMP successfully this way.

Homebrew

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.

NOTE! Please be aware that it was announced recently that Homebrew is using analytics. To turn this off in homebrew then run: brew analytics off
You can read more about this on Brew Analytics.

Fink

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.

Disclaimer: we haven't been able to determine if it is possible to install or build recent GIMP from Fink. Last we checked, GIMP 2.6.12 appears to be the most recent GIMP package that is offered there.

GIMP for Windows

Updated on 2021-04-07: GIMP 2.10.24 installer revision 3
Backported GLib fix for very slow file dialogs (issue #913) and custom GTK2 fix for non-functional Wacom Airbrush finger wheel (issue #6394).

Supported OS: Windows 7 or over

These links download the official GIMP installer for Windows (~200 MB). The installer contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of GIMP, and will automatically use the appropriate one.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing system. It works by downloading GIMP from a distributed network of BitTorrent users, and may improve download speed dramatically. Choosing this option will download the torrent file for the GIMP installer. You may need to install a torrent client to make use of this file. Learn more...

GIMP 2.10 for Mac

Hi GIMP Community,

I'm brand new to this user list, and I had a question about the new 2.10release. I know there's a direct download available for Windows and Linux,but when can we expect a macOS direct download for GIMP 2.10?

ThanksJake

GIMP 2.10 for Mac

The GIMP community does not seem to care about OS X. But a version for OS X is available via MacPorts (www.macports.org). IMHO, wait until 2.10.2 will be released and stay with 2.8 until then - YMMV.

'The GIMP community' does not care, seem is not applicable, for any distroor operating system. 'The GIMP community' does not package or providepackages for *any* operating system or distro. individuals donating theirtime package gimp for . if gimp
is not available or the version you wish is not available, contact thepackager for your system and beg him to update his packages, or pay him orpackage it yourself, or install via source code, or just do without. itis free and open source software.

For a 2.10 working version on OSX https://www.partha.com/
Works great, you just need to watch which version of OSX you are using and Multi Threading as you may need to change that setting in Prefs .

So, the 'Gimp community' should look behind its back, because some miscreants have create a 'dowload.gimp.org' site where you can find read-to-install versions of Gimp 2.8 for Windows and OSX, and of Gimp 2.10 for Windows.

Isn't that a bit misleading, too?

you mis-read or mis-understand. I did not say the 'gimp community' didnot care but said that saying the lower case gimp community did not carefor any distro or operating was not applicable. also that the lower casegimp community did not package gimp for install.

GIMP 2.10 for Mac

[User Manual]
Hope I won't go OT (or, at least, not too much...)

Anyway, I'm on OsX and I'm using Partha's Gimp version (which run great :) !)

I was just wondering if anything is doable about an up-to-date version of the User Manual...

So far, the only way I was/am able to have offline help while using Gimp was: - to create a 'help' folder [share → gimp → 2.0] - to copy in it a folder (downloaded can't_even_remember_where o.O ) containing .html copies of the whole 2.8 GIMP User Manual ( https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/it/ )

Actually I've copied these files and I'm still using them, but I see an updated version of the Manual is out ( https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/it/ )... so, is there any known way to use it offline?

Thanks for help!
