WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.6.7:
  • Updates:
    • Gimp 2.6.7
    • update most libraries (BABL, GEGL, gtk, pango, cairo and others)
    • the noise reduction plugin GREYCstoration is now able to work on croma and luma channels separately
  • Changes:
    • now GIMP uses a smaller font size for it's menus because there were many complaints about the previous font size setting. Of course, you can set any value you like, by editing the file "Libray/Application Support/Gimp/gtkrc" in your home directory.
  • New plugin:
    • Resynthesizer: Given a sample of a texture, Resynthesizer generates more of that texture. The most surprinsing usage is to remove objects from images and replace them with the surrounding background texture.
REQUIREMENTS
  • Mac OS X 10.5 or later
  • Apple's X11

    SVOOP  If you don't want to click twice all the time (first to focus the window, second e.g. to select a tool), open a terminal and issue the following command:

    defaults write org.x.x11 FocusFollowsMouse -string YES

    APEMAN  Thanks to LeLe and Ron Bell for their help with the huge font trouble that was making GIMP 2.6.7 unusable.

    They advised me to go to /Library/Application Support/Gimp and open gtkrc and change the last line from Lucinda Grande 936 to Lucinda Grande 12.

    I restarted GIMP and everything works fine now.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you.

    And I thank the GIMP community for their hard work.

    APEMAN  Hold off downloading 2.6.7 or just move 2.6.6. 2.6.7 took over my screen. There were no menus, and the placeholder window was enormous. I couldn't resize it. It has white text on it but was so large I couldn't figure out what it was. It brought my Mini to a halt.

    I am running it on a 2gig Intel Mini 1gig RAM.

    10.5.8

    Now I don't have GIMP installed.

    Oh well. Will download when this issue is addressed.

    RON BELL  LELE is right. Quit GIMP then edit "Library/Application Support/Gimp/gtkrc" in your home directory and change "gtk-font-name" to something like Lucida Grande 12, instead of 936. Then relaunch GIMP.

    TELECOMM  I can also confirm the suggestions above, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Gimp and open the file gtkrc with TextEdit. Change the last line to somethint like

    gtk-font-name = "Lucida Grande 9.8"

    and things will be usable again.

    ONE78MAN  Gimp! It's not Photoshop but still you can learn how to use it and realize special works.

    And if you are not a "pro" then Gimp is the perfect choice! :D

    BIGDAVE56  I really like the GIMP, and applaud the developer for supporting us PPC dinosaurs. However, 2.6.5 continues a bug that was introduced in 2.6.4- some menu items and hover balloons inexplicably appear in Spanish. I have enough Spanish savvy to guess what's what for the most part, but this is really kind of annoying.

    PIZZACAKE  I can confirm Gimp now has Wacom Tablet support with latest X11!

    In Gimp go to edit>preferences>input devices>configure extended input devices

    Select device pen, set mode to screen and save.

    Your Wacom tablet should be working!
