It consists of a set of different apps which provides Adobe systems. Besides it offers immediate updating of numerous apps which dedicated to web designer, drawing and photo editing. The most known apps are Photoshop, GIMP Photoshop Lightroom, and Adobe Illustrator. Creative cloud gives materials, and tips which help to start your work. Jul 27, 2021 GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems. It is free software, you can change its source code and distribute your changes. Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done. Although Paint.NET does not provide some of the higher-end functionality of Photoshop or even GIMP, its feature set can be expanded upon through the use of external plugins. For example, the application does not have built-in support for PSD files but can open Photoshop Documents after the PSD plugin is installed. It’s tricky to open and edit EPS files without Illustrator or Photoshop; however, you can download free, software like Sketch or Inkscape to access them. Good to know: Your EPS logo files should be delivered with a colored background and a transparent background to serve different printing and editing needs.

Hello!
Is there a way of importing ai files into gimp? I know i canuse themin inkscape but i need to insert some figures in my project, i needthem to be very resolutive but converting them to png is not what iexpect, results are a disaster. Any hints?
RegardsAlex
Why not export figures from GIMP and insert them into your project inInkscape?
Then you can keep your vector graphics in Inkscape.On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 2:22 PM Alex Vergara Gil wrote:

It's not clear what you need to do. Do you need to insert figures intoyour AI file, or do you need to take some figures from the AI and usethem in your GIMP project?
Gimp should be able to import ai files since they are based on PDF(from illustrator 10). If it doesn't, try to rename your file.ai tofile.pdf and try again.
Note, however, that importing them into GIMP will result in therasterization of the vector shapes (turning them into bitmap images).If you want to keep them as vectors, GIMP is not the program you want.Also, if you want to keep the shapes separated from the background,rasterization could be a problem too.

I've used inkscape on the commandline (in Linux) to convert ai files topng in the past, and it's worked fairly well as long as I have theright fonts installed.
How were you converting the files to PNG? What problems did you have?Can you share a sample file?
(ignore if you've already solved it all!)

Dear Liam
Thats exactly my problem, fonts are not converted properly, even whenthe same font is installed in my system, it just puts the renderedtext without transparency overlapping the enclosure, also enclosuresare rendered wrongly (smaller than should be). It seems a conversionproblem, but I know going from vector to bitmap is notstraightforward. Thats the main reason why i wanted GIMP to handlevector layers, with a final preview and some control from users sideabout the final conversion.
Regards
Alex

The current stable release of GIMP is 2.10.24 (2021-03-28).
Pssst... want to check out the GIMP 2.99.6 development release?
Get it on our development downloads page.
We think your OS is Well, we don't actually know. Either JavaScript is disabled, or I am not working quite right... So I am showing you all the options.

If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP!
The flatpak build is new and has known limitations, though it will likely provide faster updates, following GIMP releases closely.
Therefore choose your installation medium according to your needs.
Flatpak build available in: x86-64 and AArch64 (note: i386 and ARM-32 versions used to be published, yet are now stuck at GIMP 2.10.14 and 2.10.22 respectively).
The flatpak link above should open your software installer and prompt you to install GIMP. Yet it may not work out-of-the-box on some platforms since the flatpak technology is new. If that is the case, ensure flatpak is installed and if clicking the link still does not prompt to install GIMP, then manually install by command line:
flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
Once installed, it will be made available exactly the same way as other applications (menus, desktop overview, or any specific application launch process used by your desktop).
If this is not the case, we suggest to report a bug to your desktop or distribution asking for proper support of flatpak. In the meantime, you can still run it by command line (not as the recommended method, only a workaround):
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable
This installation will also provide regular update. You don't have to come back on this page and install again (it will not work!) when a new version of GIMP is released. Instead if your distribution and/or desktop has a good support for flatpak, it should propose to perform updates.
Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:
flatpak update
GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.
The download links above will attempt to download GIMP from one of our trusted mirror servers. If the mirrors do not work or you would rather download directly from our server, you can get the direct download here.
Supported OS: macOS 10.9 Mavericks or over
Since the 2.8.2 version, GIMP runs on OSX natively. No X11 environment is required.
The official GIMP 2.10 DMG installer (linked above) is a stock GIMP build without any add-ons. Just open the downloaded DMG and drag and drop GIMP into your 'Applications' folder.
The SHA256 hash sum for gimp-2.10.24-x86_64.dmg
is: d835afd64b4a617516a432a4ff78454594f5147786b4b900371a9fa68252567a
Check it on VirusTotal: gimp-2.10.24-x86_64.dmg
Previous installers for OSX can be found here: download.gimp.org.
An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp
once you have Macports installed.
Last we checked, the GIMP port file pointed to the current stable release and we have reports from people who've built GIMP successfully this way.
Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp
.
NOTE! Please be aware that it was announced recently that Homebrew is using analytics. To turn this off in homebrew then run: brew analytics off
You can read more about this on Brew Analytics.
Fink is a package repository that offer mostly precompiled binaries. It provides the apt-get command known to e.g. Debian and Ubuntu users, and installing GIMP is as easy as sudo apt-get install gimp
once you have installed the Fink installer.
If there's no binary package, then fink install gimp
will compile GIMP from source.
Disclaimer: we haven't been able to determine if it is possible to install or build recent GIMP from Fink. Last we checked, GIMP 2.6.12 appears to be the most recent GIMP package that is offered there.
Updated on 2021-04-07: GIMP 2.10.24 installer revision 3
Backported GLib fix for very slow file dialogs (issue #913) and custom GTK2 fix for non-functional Wacom Airbrush finger wheel (issue #6394).

These links download the official GIMP installer for Windows (~200 MB). The installer contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of GIMP, and will automatically use the appropriate one.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing system. It works by downloading GIMP from a distributed network of BitTorrent users, and may improve download speed dramatically. Choosing this option will download the torrent file for the GIMP installer. You may need to install a torrent client to make use of this file. Learn more...

We had a server move a while back that caused us to lose our existing mirrors (moved from physical to virtual server and to an environment that doesn't allow FTP access). On the plus side, we are now able to offer rsync access to download.gimp.org.
If you are running one of the existing GIMP mirrors, or want to create a new one, please contact us to get your rsync credentials.
