Gimp.app

p>So, there’s an even easier way to get the GIMP than through Fink. Gimp.app has all the code you need to run the Gimp with a double-click. It still requires X11, but there’s no need to worry about dependencies or libraries – it’s all in one big .app application bundle. I used it to try out Gimp 2.2, which has a much nicer interface than the Gimp 1.2.5, but is not available through Fink anyhow. One thing about the Gimp 2.2 though, it doesn’t seem quite as fast as 1.2.5.

p>Oh for those of you who don’t know, GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program – a free photoshop like program for editing images. It’s not quite as polished as photoshop, but it is free. Alas, it’s really a unix/linux program so it runs is X11.
