Santa brought me a shiny new laptop for Christmas! But now I need to load up some goodies into it, so I would like to know what is the latest version of Gimp that is very stable...for Mac? I don't think anyone here uses a Mac, but maybe you know what Mac version is best.

You might want to take that question to a Mac group and ask.

This link may help.

Click the Download link in the link Rod posted.

... or here it is already clicked. It appears that 2.6.11 is the latest stable one. You just need to download the one for your OS version.

Be sure to check the Support link in there.

thanks for the lisanet link...looked great upon scanning...I just hope all I need to do is download! It sort of looks like I might need to add other stuff...hope not. I do not really know my way around OSX. I have some days off end of the week, and I will plan on getting into this project!

Woo, the download via Lisanet worked! I now have Gimp on both 'puters. 2.4 on the pc, where I am still more comfy, and 2.6 on the mac, which I am sloooooowly learning my way around. This is a little test, took a pic (since the laptop doesn't have any pics on it yet) and used some curves, added lens flare, used the crop tool. Simple, I know, but so happy to have this much figured out! Learning anything new is a 'big deal' at my old age, lol. I also learned that with enough gfx, I can hide the wrinkles pretty well, hee hee. This pic makes me look so much better than real life, lol.

*waves* Nice to see you again!

I also downloaded G'mic for mac, but haven't had the nerve to install it yet.
