I have been trying to find and settle with a Graphic software for the Mac since I went into the Mac Worl. But not been able to find one that i can settle on.

Can some of you suggest any that are possibly free..

I like one that can do a few photo touching and be able to compress Jpeg when saving.

Cheers

I don't wish to sound nasty, but have you ever Googled anything in your life?

You've made about fifty threads in here in two weeks with what seems like no prior effort to find anything out for yourself...

Do you use it? I could never get used to it at all. I prefer using an old version of Photoshop.

I do... took abit of getting use to... but it's free and powerful :)

Rookie, don't buy any Adobe photoshop stuff till the UB version is released - hopefully soon...

Cheers for the pionter on that mate :D as that would be better and faster i should think?

I go and get GIMP and give that ago. I suppose I gotta dig the DVD out too to install X11
 
Dr Jones said:
Yup... you'll need X11 - you can get http://www.pure-mac.com/graph.html#seashore - which doesn't need X11, OSX native.

I've never tried that properly tho.

Gimp don't look the nicest with X11 running and all but it works. Free. Wait till Photoshop CS3 comes out or something...

CS3 be heavy on my pockets.... Was only thinking of getting PhotoShop Element which is currently about £50
 
I find seashore nowhre near as powerful as GIMP, think of it more as a simple photo / picture manipulation tool rather than a photoshop replacement

What is it actully wrong with GIMP? Is it a bit slow as I read at some place people say it a bit slow and not all that good as it require X11
 
Anyone know of a simple MS-Paint like image editor for OS X? Really, just a pixel editor - no need for anti-aliased brushes, layers, etc.

I have tried GIMP and Seashore but they're not too hot.

GIMP is probably the best app to go for if you want a free OS X graphic app - although I don't think you could do much better buyng Photoshop Elements or ideally the full Photoshop app (though I would wait until CS3 is released to get full intel support).

That's not what I meant, I do it too, I made a thread yesterday about money software.. it's just sometimes you don't even *try* to solve anything yourself :p

Like your 'where's frontrow?' 'where's this' 'where's that' threads a week or so ago... Admit it, that was some lazy posting!
