    GIMP 2. first install X11 from online or use the Additional Installs on your Mac OS install cd, then go to gimp.org

    its almost as good as PS actually

    Insane can you give me a link to a download place for X11? Ive got OSX 10.4... I found the X11 thing but couldn't figure out how to download it, and there didn't seem to be any for version 10.4

    Muchas gracias

    i got mine from the install cd, its really easy like that, just pop it in and doble click on Additional Installers, X11 is right there...you can look around and i think its for every OS but im not sure

    Ok, do some clicking, get X11 and gimp and a key step is to go to software update in the apple menu thing. That is a key thing, that I did not figure out to, about, 5 minutes ago...

    Just got GIMP AND IT ROCKS!
