GIMP is now a native Mac App! Yayy!

GIMP version 2.8.2 is now a native Mac app!  Starting with this version, it uses the Mac Aqua UI instead of the X11 interface-- which means it will work like a Mac app should and you can access options in the menubar.

GIMP is a graphics editor program, much like Photoshop and it can do almost everything Photoshop can do and it is FREE!  GIMP stands for Graphics Image Manipulation Program.  You can draw and paint with it too just like MS Paint on Windows or MacPaint on the Classic Mac OS.  You can also edit and tweak photos and graphics with it.  Need to retouch a photo?  GIMP can do it!  GIMP is great for artists and anyone who wants to dabble in art or graphics or photoshop work.  GIMP's potential for graphics and creative works is unlimited.  Why not download it and give it a try?  You got nothing to lose.  GIMP is multi-platform, with versions available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.

About the Mac OSX version of GIMP-- version 2.8.2 is for Intel based Macs only. . . sorry.  Users of PowerPC based Macs can get an older version of GIMP and will need the x11 interface installed.
