    Major Release: MacGIMP 2.4 Set for September 2007
    Email Article To a Friend   View Printable Version   Post a comment   view comments
    ReleasesThe MacGIMP project, led by Mat Caughron, is pleased to announce that the first build of the GIMP 2.4 release candidate for Mac OS X has been compiled. This build is universal, meaning that it will run natively on both PowerPC and Intel x86 platforms. It is a goal of the MacGIMP project to remain faithful to the GPL and to provide complete source and build information to all who request it. This is a major step forward in the availability of the GIMP for the Macintosh platform, and the software will be available for sale shortly on MacGIMP.com. Please support our efforts by having your company or school purchase their own copy of MacGIMP in September. Upgrade pricing will be available.

  • developer.imendio.com has complete information on the effort to port Gtk+ 2 to Mac OS X natively so that you can run Gtk+ applications without X11 on Mac OS X. The imendio port of GTK requires Mac OS X 10.4 or newer.
  • The sourceforge project called SeaShore is a Cocoa effort by Mark Pazolli to make an image editor.
  • wiki.gimp.org has various helpful comments on building GTK and various components required to compile the GIMP if you are a developer or comfortable with a compiler and associated dependencies.
  • Of course, MacGIMP remains the favorite and is the easiest and most supported way to run the GIMP on Mac OS X and is aggressively priced at $29.95. You can expect the price to increase significantly before this coming academic year begins.

    Digital PhotographyMacGIMP is a great tool for cell phone background image customization. Resize or crop an image to 172 x 143 pixels for Nokia Series 60 phones and to 128 x 128 for Nokia Series 40 phones. Nokia devices support .bmp, .jpg, .gif, and .png image formats. If your image is in a different format, you should save it to one of the supported formats. See hack number 46 in the
    Nokia SmartPhone Hacks book from O'Reilly.
