How to Install GMIC Plugin for GIMP for Mac Davies Media Design 2021-07-28 | Mac has been making tons of security updates to its operating systems recently, making it hard for open source programs like GIMP and G'MIC to keep up with development for these systems. As a result, it's hard to get your hands on certain Mac-friendly plug-ins for GIMP, or even for an up-to-date version of GIMP for Mac. In this tutorial, I show you how to download and install a version of GIMP that includes G'MIC for Mac (and that works!) while also explaining GIMP's Mac problems.Visit our website for more text and video tutorials:daviesmediadesign.com/tutorialsEnroll in Our GIMP Photo Editing Masterclass:udemy.com/course/gimp-photo-editing/?couponCode=FINALGIMPSUMMERSALEWant to make your GIMP theme look like mine?

Whats New in GIMP 2.10.34 Davies Media Design 2023-03-22 | In this video, I cover the new features found in GIMP's latest stable release version for 2023! This is definitely another stepping stone towards GIMP 3.0, which is just around the corner, but there are a few neat little features in this new version. According to GIMP's 2022 annual report, about 84% of developer commits are being made towards GIMP 3.0 - which means MOST work being done on GIMP is being done on GIMP 3.0. In my opinion, GIMP's momentum is currently building and will reach peak levels with the release of the long anticipated GIMP 3.0.
