GTK+ was originally designed to run on an X11 server. This is no longer needed as version 2.8.2 and later run natively on OS X. MacPorts was listed as the recommended provider of Mac builds of GIMP.However, this article is more of a demonstration than a tutorial. Introduction to Layers.Since writing an introduction to the GIMP I’ve been asked to write some short tutorials for the GIMP, which I’d love to do. Once youve installed the application, youll learn.The application does not actually load properly. A menu item comes up that says ‘Gimp’ but all I can do is ‘Quit’. Rather than following step-by-step, I hope you’ll be able to use the principles behind each tool to enhance your own photos.I downloaded Gimp and installed it but when I try to launch it, nothing happens.
Introduction To Gimp Mac Builds OfYou can see other screenshots here.This is my original photo. Today, I’ll walk through editing a photo I took on New Year’s Eve.All the screenshots show GIMP with the UbuntuStudio theme, the default theme is more like the Mac aqua themes (I just forgot to change it back before taking these shots!). The GIMP can be used for simple tasks such as resizing and cropping, or for much more. A frame-by-frame retouching tool, it’s often used for removing dust or making other. Introduction GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program.Film Gimp, an open source tool for feature motion picture work, is now available in a Mac OS X version. Sim city 2000 for mac downalodStraighten horizonThe first thing I wanted to do with this image was rotate it anti-clockwise so that the bottom of the bridge is horizontal. I wouldn’t mind having all these things in one window (dialogue windows are a bit passe!) there is a rumour of a single window option being in the works.You can find a list of the tools in the GIMP documentation. (I wish I’d read this guide to shooting fireworks first!)The tools dialogue is on the left, the image window in the middle, and on the right: layers, channels, paths, brushes, patterns and gradients. ![]() Voila!As with many of my productions I think there’s probably room for improvement. This is done using the clone and heal tools.To use either of these tools: select the corresponding button in the tool dialogue ctrl+click on the part of the image you want to use as the source (the bit you want the bit you’re fixing to look like) use it like a paintbrush on the area you want to fix.After filling in the smoke I added some final touches: filling in the bottom of the fireworks (by copying the top of the fireworks, flipping it and using the heal tool – as before) there was a tree over the fireworks before, so I tried to add that back in with a foliage brush to make it seem a bit more realistic I smoothed out the sky a bit more with some simple black painting (with a fuzzy round brush). Sometimes it’s just fun to flex these photo-manipulation muscles! So, I removed the obstructive concrete cylinder.The cylinder was blocking the south pylon of the bridge, so I copied the north (left) section of the photograph, flipped it (Layer > Transform > Flip Horizontally) and merged it with the ‘Fireworks copy#1’ (right-click on the layer and ‘Merge Down’).Now the edges need to be blended in and the smoke that was drifting south needs to be added back in. ![]()
