GIMP for Intel-based Macs?

zetableh · 10-23-2006, 12:12 PM

Hey guys, I don't know where to ask this, but the photography thread makes the most sense. I have a MacBook (Intel based) running OSX build 10.4.8, but I'm having trouble installing GIMP, the free photoediting program. It keeps telling me that I don't have a particular file installed, but when I check with Mac, that file comes installed on OSX to begin with on all MacBooks.

Does anybody know how to fix said problem, or knows of another free photoediting program that is easy to use. I'm used to using Photoshop Elements 2.0 for PC, and I'd get PSE4.0 for Mac, but it's $80, and I don't have that kinda money.

Thanks

Off topic was a better section I think...

And I don't have an answer to your problem, sorry.

Well I have MacBook pro so I'll see what happens when I try to install it. Do you know what file specifically it says to install thats not working?
