MenZa Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Unless you know how to use GIMP, don't bother installing it. It does absolutely nothing that makes it feel more like Photoshop, unfortunately.

Alucard! Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I thought the same way at first. " the gimp sucks and the photoshop is good" What is mostly right. But when I installed my hackintosh then I thought different. The fact that jea photoshop is great and u can do a lot of things in there and it is very comfortable. But! THe fackt that it takes allmost all your ram ! And that when u deal with photos with size like 2 mb or more then I seem to be likeing gimp more. Gimp is like paint. It is small and there is nothing to eat my ram. It just runs faster and works more stable.

errandwolfe Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I don't know, for me I am just more comfortable with GimpShop. It does feel more like Photoshop, and barring some miracle where I can actually afford CS3 (or someone can send me a valid key), it is the program I have decided to stick with.

Kousotsu Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have used gimp for a while now but still never installed this. And the only version I use of PS is 7 (cause I own that one) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41989-gimpshop/#findComment-300774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you're undergoing any type of education, you can get quite a bit of the price down with Adobe (CS2 is a tenth of the price as an Edu version).

You know that there are always cracks and hacks for it? :-) if you use Google wisely then you should be able to find it within five links.

errandwolfe Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Oh I know such things exist, was just saying for the "average" person it is a great alternative to Photoshop. Been running the beta of CS3, and have to say I even prefer Gimpshop. But hey, that is just my opinion.

track09 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Sorry, but GIMP sucks no matter what. It's the one piece of open source software I absolutely still loathe.

jrrjrr Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 There is a sort of native Mac fork of The GIMP here, but it has been a quiet project in the past year: http://seashore.sourceforge.net/index.php Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41989-gimpshop/#findComment-303456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
