The interface for GIMP is significantly different from the standard Mac OS X and Windows interface: for example, the menu bar is at the top of GIMP’s window, rather than the top of the screen. Open the 64 × 64 pixel version of the icon. If you’re asked to set the working current color profile, go with the suggestion of RGB workspace. There are OS X instructions in the GIMP documentation and they suggest installing GIMP from fink or macports. Do this and you can follow the Linux/Unix instructions for plugin installation. Otherwise, the documentation states 'good luck' if you install it some other way. Let’s head on over to GIMP.org to download the latest version and the application needed for your operating system. Once you reach the download page, you have a lot of choices! Unlike Photoshop, GIMP developers only earn an income via donations.

Gimp For Mac Os X
Gimp Mac Os X Catalina
I had to reinstall OS X on my 2006 MacBook Pro. It is limited to OS X 10.6 snow Leopard as it has a 32-bit processor.
I used to have GIMP 2.8. I can't remember where I found a 32-bit build (maybe unofficial) but now I can't find it anywhere. 2.6 is running fine but I would like 2.8.
I am about to start teaching a graphic design course at the college in which I work, the computers there also have 10.6.8 and I would like to incorporate GIMP. Version 2.8 would be preferable to 2.6.
Can anyone tell me where to find a 32-bit build of 2.8 for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance!
