OS X: GIMP is a fantastic free alternative to Photoshop for all desktop operating systems, but on Mac it was a bit of a pain to set it up, because you needed to install X11. Gimp now, however, comes with a standard DMG installer.


Now to install GIMP on your Mac, you just open the downloaded DMG file and, like you do with other Mac apps, drag the GIMP.app to your Applications folder. Easy as pie.

The latest 2.8.2 update fixes some bugs, while version 2.8 added a new interface and features like layer groups, on-canvas text editing, and more.


Here's the link to the download file:
