GIMP 2.8 in native Mac environment GIMP 2.8 in native Mac environment

Partha.com always was a nice place to get up-to-date Windows versions of GIMP in the past. Now he offers a Mac OS X build too.

The difference between the one that was made by gimp.lisanet.de is that parthas build is now a native one, that doesn’t use the X11 graphics server. We’ve included both downloads in our downloads section. I myself cannot tell you which one is working better since I’m not a Mac user.

Some of the important plugins (G’MIC, wavelet, etc) are preinstalled in this build.

You need Snow Leopard or later to run parthas build. Have fun!

Mitch actually fixed all of the shortcuts and mac menu bar a while ago, it's just that now we actually have fixed some of the main bugs that caused gimp on osx to crash. And we support tablet pressure with a patch. As well as properly ordered open/save dialogs.

its the command /apple key from my experience on Lion so probably the same on Mountain Lion…if not I'll let you know

Does it use the apple key for keyboard shortcuts, or still ctrl? (I don't run OS X anymore, just curious …)

Probably should also mention that I have it running sweetly in both Mountain Lion and Lion on 2 different computers.

Thanks partha for this Mac native version of GIMP 2.8. Its a very nice build and runs smoothly and has some nice extras built in to it as well. Very easy to use. I love the look and feel of it.
