Using Gimp or Gimpshop

Hi, I recently installed Mac Box Set with version OSX 10.6.5 on my Macbook Pro. Since then I cannot use My Photoshop 7.0 anymore. From other topics I learned that I was not the only and I had to install the free X11 and Gimp. Problem is that this is complete different and I don't know how it works and I cannot find users instructions. So I also installed Gimpshop because this should be more users friendly. But this refuses to open and crashes immediately. Can somebody help me with an easy and clear users manual for using Gimp and how can I solve the problem with Gimpshop ? Thanks for all help !

Agreed Gimp/Gimpshop has nothing to do with Photoshop other than the fact they are both photo editors.
"Gimpshop" has not been supported since OS X 10.4 the last stable release May 17, 2006.
You can read more of what Scott Moschella has to say here: http://ask.metafilter.com/144788/What-are-my-intellectual-property-rights-here
You can reference this site for *Snow Leopard* for workaround with Gimpshop. http://www.strayprocess.com/blog/gimpshop-snow-leopard
You will need to install X11 for Gimp... X11 is installed in the Applications folder. If not, to install X11 insert the Mac OS X installation disc and double-click the Optional Installs package. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8568.html
Hope this solves your problem.

  • Gimp VS Gimpshop?

    I am learning how to do photo editing and I am not gonna buy photoshop so please do not tell me to buy it but
    so should I use Gimp or Gimpshop?
    I have to learn an interface anyway so I figured I should use Gimpshop so that if I needed to I would be able to use photoshop
    so would learning Gimpshop pretty much teach me how to use photoshop?
    and is it worth it? because some people say it's buggy and this or that
    or should I just stick with Gimp?
    thanks for your help in advance

    As my last sentence suggests it may be worth your time to dig deep and go for Photoshop as it provides more for you. The more a program offers the deeper the learning curve.
    So yes you could get along with any editor, but how much time learning that program cpu have been put to learning Photoshop.
    Sooner or later the easier program will fall short. It is just a matter of when.
    So really the only one that can answer how's much time and money you are will to spend is you.

  • Video to Frames is no longer in photoshop. Any Alternatives other than using gimp-gap?

    As some have found out like me, you can no longer edit any video in photoshop. I have elements 13 and import video frames is missing and was removed since 12. Right now in order to make gifs, i either have to do it frame by frame manually in photoshop, which for anything more than 3 frames is bogus, OR.. hilariously enough use GIMP 2.8 with the GAP plugin that has been out of date since gimp 2.6.... it still works but is a little wonky.
    So gimp currently has a feature that WAS IN photoshop but doesn't work anymore. Import video to frames was one of THE reaons i bought elements because EVERY SINGLE TUTORIAL for making gifs used.. you guessed it... import video to frames.
    So now i would really like to use photoshop so is there any 64 bit compatible plugin or program that can do this or did photoshop just lose the ability to pretty much do any gif's at all... in a time where its become a pretty big thing?

  • Using GIMP and X11

    I originally posted this elsewhere in discussions; however this may be a better placement for it.
    I use GIMP which requires X11 and recently it has stopped working. I rolled back to an older version of GIMP, installed the Xll upgrade on the Leopard DVD but all to no avail. Right now, GIMP crashes and X11 won't even start when I double click from the applications/utilities folder.
    Thanks in advance for any help that any may provide.

    Did this coincide with any other changes? (e.g. OS update, software changes...)
    I rolled back to an older version of GIMP,
    So which versions have you tried? Which package are you using? (There are various pre-packaged versions of GIMP for OS X from different groups.)
    installed the Xll upgrade on the Leopard DVD but all to no avail.
    So which version of X11 were you using before if not the one from the DVD? There may be updates to this version available from Apple. Is it possible you actually installed the DVD version over the top of a later version? /Library/Receipts may show packages installed for X11 if they were separate packages and not part of more general updates.
    Right now, GIMP crashes and X11 won't even start when I double click from the applications/utilities folder.
    The former is expected given the latter. What exactly happens when you try to open X11? Do you see any useful messages in the log files? (Look at system.log and console.log using /Applications/Utilities/Console and/or open X11 from Terminal and see what error messages you get.)
    Are you on ppc or intel?

  • Anyone using Gimp on OSX?  Compared to PS Elements?

    Looking to design my own logos/leterhead etc.  My PS Eelements4.0 is not working on iMac (too old a version).
    before I buy the latest PS Eelements, I'm downloading Gimpfo rfree.  Anyone compared both?  Would love your feedback.  Will let you know how I find using Gimp once I play with it.

    Just tried playing with gimp and I see what you mean.  If I take the time to read the manual, I can see it has most the same features for my purposes.  I also just tried Inkscape (free also) and that has some interesting features as well.  Worth investing some graphics playtime in both before I buy a current version of PSE.  I suspect you're right though - when pressed to complete a project, I'll run out to buy what I know - PSE.  Same reason I'm still using MSWord and Excel instead of iWork.

  • I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out.  I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them.

    I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out.  I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them. I opened & printed the image on my PC using PAINT.NET.  No lines appeared. I sent the image to my daughter. She printed it and found no lines. I printed the image using Seahorse on my Mac and the lines still appeared. I used basically the same print settings on Mac and PC.

    did so now, only now I'm getting a slightly different error: could not find udevd no such file or directory. I checked both grub.cfg's and my mkinitcpio.conf and there's no listing for udevd ....which I've never heard of, so I assumed it was a typo?
    For clarification: udev is in the mkinitcpio.
    I'm not sure whether I yet have a good intuition for how you have your machine set up, but I suspect you need to include a cryptdevice flag to the kernel in your grub config. The file isn't found because the kernel doesn't know your root directory needs decrypting first.
    My setup is an LVM over LUKS over LVM sandwich. To boot into my system, the grub.cfg contains the line:
    linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/cryptvg-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root rootfstype=ext4 pcie_aspm=force acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 ro
    Now, most of those flags don't have anything to do with your problem, but note the cryptdevice. It tells the kernel it's dealing with an encrypted filesystem sitting in a logical volume called crypt on a volume group called vg. The bit after the colon tells the kernel to associate this encrypted filesystem with /dev/mapper/root.
    As for how to fix your system, I'm afraid I still feel a bit fuzzy about how your LVM and encrypted layers relate to each other, whether you have LVM over LUKS, or LUKS over LVM, or something else. Was there a particular how-to that you followed?

  • Is anyone here using GIMP 2.5?

    Before I jump back into the development branch of GIMP, I want to know if deep color support is enabled yet. Is anyone using GIMP from subversion right now? If so, is it stable? Is 16 bit color in yet?

    As Larry says, you've just trashed your Library.
    You may have removed files but the database is now bunged up, wuth entries that point to photos that no longer exist, thumbnails that persist and so on.
    Restore from your back up.
    For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator This flags duplicates in iPhoto and you then trash them via iPhoto.

  • Why do I need to use GIMP to batch process?

    Dear Adobe,
    I'm grinding through thousands of display and template images for an online retailer. Photoshop layering and masks came in quite handy when I was making the templates
    but now that it's got down to reusing those templates, I have to look elsewhere.
    1 Why does every other piece of software on the market have a batch processing section, and yet you hide yours?
    2. Why does Image Processor refuse to resize both horizontal and vertical, although it claims to? It actually refuses to distort the image to resize, which I actually want it to do. I had
    to download GIMP to get this capability, as well as to specify the output file and change the dpi. These are all included in GIMP but not Pshop. Thanks for that. And don't tell
    me to go to Actions. THat may be useful for something things, but it's hardly the optimal way to do it, recording your exact actions, and then saving or not saving, and then
    seeing what happens. The way I wanted it was in GIMP, and its pathetic that 20 years in, Pshop still doesnt have a credible batch processor, or tell me where it is now.
    Charge extra for that perhaps?
    3.What has changed in Bridge CS6 since CS4? I see absolutely nothing different, but then output is still limited to PDF and 'WEB GALLERY' a dysfunctional glob
    of code bested easily by jquery, but maybe you've impoved that end. My last experience with web gallery was so dysfunctional that I'll just stick to fixing what's
    under the hood myself. I mean web gallery used to be flash, then something else that's not current. Let's just agree its a hobbyist option. Of course,
    I don't know why 'output' might include other options for the batch processing of files, since batch rename does actually work, but you guys are the deciders.
    4. Its too bad. This job has taught me a lot of new stuff about layering, masks, and the functionality of the pattern section, which I have no great qualms with, though,
    considering how many companies you've bought, you could include tons of patterning capabilities that used to exist in these programs, but that would be too much
    expenditure from MGMT. Maybe let's just fix the window views we broke in CS4, and call it a new version.
    5. Thanks for forcing me to discover GIMP, who dont ask a thing. I dont really like being in there yet, but we'll see if that changes with time. They actually have some
    different filters and rendering options that Adobe could've included years ago for gun, but again, there's just not enough money to go around at Adobe.

    Thanks for both of you proving both that the function doesnt exist.
    When the Image Processor resizes image it used the Photoshop Plug-in Fit Image to do the resize.  Both height and width are resized and the image aspect ratio is preserved so the image is not distorted.  That means the image will fit within the height and width  used in the dialog.  Only image with the same aspect ratio will fill the area.  It sounds to me like you want the image the size id the height and width you entered in the dialog.  In which case you need to use Photoshop features the can accomplish that.  If you do not care the the image is distorted you use Image size check resample uncheck constrain as set the height and width you want to resize to.  If you do not want to much distortion you can try content aware resize. That will still distort the image some what but try to maintain some areas perspective it finds object in.  You can also help that process by selecting areas.  If You want no distortion you need to resize the image to fill the area and mask off  the excess to virtually crop the image the the areas aspect ratio. To automate that you need to use some Photoshop scripting. Knowledge is required to get the most out of Programs like Gimp and Photoshop.  The function doesn't exist because of your lack of knowledge.

  • Hey I want to know what resolution a personas 3000x 200x is because I am trying to make one, but the middle part of the picure is movin to the left so some thing is wrong with resolution and interpolation. PS, I use Gimp.

    I use Debian and Gimp program to make my own personas but it seem like I have to know what resolution or interpolation is needed for the best result. I am trying to make one in size of 3000px wide x 200px high but don't know what resolution and interpolation is matching the requirements of Firefox or personas. For ex: in Gimp when scaling an image the interpolation possibilities are 4 like:
    None
    Linear
    Cubic
    Sync

    Try the Personas forum.

  • HP Deskjet 840c not printing properly on tiger 10.4.8 using gimp

    Hi
    new to macs.1 connected my printer via usb and tiger automatically recognised it.2 went to print and and some of the print was missing and incorrect characters appeared. 3 thought the driver was at fault so reloaded it from back up dvd. 4 didnt work yet so i downloaded driver from hp website. Tried printing again works fairly good but its using the gimp driver. so i dont have access to full printer control panel e.g print quality, ink volume and printer tool box.
    What can i do about to give up!

    Hey @moonitones ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand you are able to print and scan with USB but can not do either when trying wirelessly.
    So knowing this we can rule out a printer driver error, printer hardware and computer software. We know this issue is with the printers internal modem or the wireless router.
    Do you have other devices that are working on the wireless router?
    Have you set up both the printer and the computer up on the same wireless network?
    When you go into your printer folder what does the printer say on it?
    Get back to me. Have a great day!
    I worked for HP.

  • Using GIMP with Mac

    I cannot get the  the Foreground select tool in Gimp to work. I can select the part of the image I want but then I am asked to press the enter key to accept the selection. Nothing happens.
    Am I using the right key (the return key) or is there some other problem?
    Thank you.

    As GIMP is not an Apple product, you may get better answers on their support pages.
    Best of luck.

  • Lack of detail in Preview vs. GIMP using same image file.

    Originally posted at usenet group: comp.graphics.apps.gimp
    I am in the process of working on an image using GIMP's propietary
    format, XCF. The image in question is approx. 6200x3200 px in size, at
    a resolution of 72x72 dpi, RGB, True Color, 24-bit. The problem is
    that when I export it to a more portable format, the image loses
    clarity. I've uploaded an image to Photobucket demonstrating this.
    This image consists of three windows, each displaying the same portion
    of the piece I'm trying to export. The window top-left indicates the
    original XCF format image at 100%, displaying in GIMP; the top-right
    image is the same image at 100% exported to TIFF format (with no
    compression), displaying in GIMP; the centre image is the latter TIFF
    image, displayed in Preview.app, zoomed as close as possible to the
    same degree as the GIMP images above - though in reality just a touch
    larger, more like 110%. As is clear, the centre image is far less
    detailed. <edit: I made this image forgetting that you can use "Use Actual Size" to view it. Nevertheless, when viewed at actual size the image is substantially smaller and less detailed.>
    Could this be partly/altogether because i configured/calibrated
    GIMP's display preferences to more accurately reflect my LCD screen's
    resolution? in GIMP->Display Preferences, I manually set my monitor
    resolution to 106x106dpi. However, the monitor resolution reported by
    the windowing system, according to GIMP Display Prefs, is 75x75dpi.
    I have tried saving as PNG without the resolution data, but the result is identical.
    Can someone please explain this to me? Or, at the very least, suggest
    a work-around? Is this, in actual fact, a problem with Preview.app or
    my Quartz Extreme rendering?
    I hope someone can help with this.
    Thanks,
    SiR G.

    >I wish the developers could give us a switch to defeat this. PS displays, or at least hints at, sharpening when zoomed out.
    They are quite set against it so I doubt it. Photoshop is really lying to you in many different ways when you judge sharpness at zoomed out levels. Of course, the only reason you see it in Photoshop is that it is a pixel editor. If you have rendered 1:1 previews, in Lightroom, you always see the effect of sharpening in the Library module when zoomed out as it is rendered from the preview image. In fact what you see there is the same when in Photoshop at power of two zoom levels (25%, 50%, etc.). So it is there, they just don't show it in Develop when you are zoomed out, where it would not tell you anything anyway.

    Not sure why typing 'gimp' is bringing up 'gimpshop', but anyhoo...
    I just punched in 'http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archl … po/os/i686' into Epiphany and it 404's, so I'd assume it's down at the mo. Meantime, if you go into your mirrorlist and uncomment whichever 'Server = *' is closest to you (you could just do any of them, but the nearest ones will give you better performance) and comment out that bottom line.
    All going to plan, that should sort it.

  • Help with Gimpshop crashing please

    I need help getting Gimpshop to work on my macbook pro.
    Please see this archived topic, which completely describes what is happening for me:
    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdi scussions.apple.com%2Fmessage.jspa%3FmessageID%3D9894235&ei=3eYTTeHDDc79nAfs1Onl DQ&usg=AFQjCNGDNqMWMJu8cJFU2SNYldW70pTN2g
    The solution proposed there, of using Gimp rather than Gimpshop, is not one I'm interested. I used Photoshop for so many years, and after moving away from them because I could no longer afford them, I tried Gimp several times. But the user interface is just so different from Photoshop I could never make a go of it.
    So you can understand my joy when I discovered a version of Gimp called Gimpshop.
    So...has ANYONE out there come up with a way to solve the installation crash I'm experiencing? Again, pls click the link above which is exactly what I experience.
    I have just yesterday done a full software update so I know my Snow Leopard is all up to date.
    Many thanks!
