GIMP: anyone tried it?

[BJ Bignell]

Something else that could change about The GIMP: the name. Although it's currently very descriptive (GNU Image Manipulation Program), something I've heard and thought more than once is, "I'd recommend it to my boss/friend/mother, but I think they'll reject it when they hear the name." The word "gimp" does not have very positive connotations.

After reading about LightZone on this thread, I downloaded the Linux version. It has some pretty heavy hardware requirements.

Payasam, if my lowly HP laptop can run it, anything else will be able to as well 🙂

Thanks, shadowfox. I will keep your comment in post #20, and try LightZone. I have seen it mentioned and I went to their site, I liked what I saw. But the Linux thing discouraged me. I will try your method.

Thanks for the advice!

I just updated.

Btw: there's a nice (imho) b&w-converter for The Gimp:

I have been trying to install gimp on my Intel iMac, but I can't seem to get Apple X11 to install for some reason.

Are you installing the version on the original disk or the downloaded version from Apple?

You need to install the original version on your setup disk..
