jackwanders Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Aside from photoshop, what are some good image editing programs that I can get for free or at least get a free trial of? It's utterly frustrating dealing only with Preview, Grab, and GraphiConverter. Thanks.

Other's just plain don't want to be criminals. If you've got fink installed you could grab GIMP, it's free (as in speech and beer) and it works very well. IMHO it's not as nice as photoshop but kicks the crap out of Paintshop Pro.

cerbero Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I would recommend the GIMP also. Like evn said, it's not as nice as Photoshop, but it's awesome considering you don't have to pay a dime for it.

How would I go about finding if I have fink installed and installing it if I don't?

Wickedkitten Veteran Posted May 27, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2003 i use painter myself, jack most likely you wont have it installed, so you will have to download x11 or xdarwin and fink, you can tell if you go to your hd and have a directory in the root labelled sw Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/81831-os-x-image-editing-software/#findComment-897996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 you have fink installed if you have a /sw directory on your os x partition, chances are you'd remember installing. It's basicly a port of debians apt-get that works on os x. You can find details about the fink project here: http://fink.sourceforge.net/index.php The installation guide is here (read it!): http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/intro.php And info on the gimp packages here: http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/search.php?s=gimp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/81831-os-x-image-editing-software/#findComment-898010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 make sure you install the following as well if you haven't already: Developer Tools Apple's X11 The X11 SDK then when you get fink installed doing "fink install gimp" in terminal will probably be all you need to do.
