Gimp Tool For Mac

GIMP is a multi-platform photo manipulation tool. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The GIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image composition, and image construction. A quick question. I'm teaching my self Gimp for Mac right now and wondered if any one could help with this. When selecting images in a layer how do you select the black area when using the selection tool and not the white area. For example in this case the black area is a selection of birds and the white area is the background which I don't want.

Initial release of GIMP 2.10.8 on Nov 9 crashed on earlier versions of macOS (10.9, 10.10, 10.11) at startup. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED as of Nov 11. A new build is available named 'gimp-2.10.8-x86_64-1.dmg' (153,989,156 bytes).
The original build that crashed is named 'gimp-2.10.8-x86_64.dmg' without the '-1' suffix. Not sure when or if MacUpdate will recognize or pull the newer build, as both are still 2.10.8. Also, note that 'About GIMP' from menu will report same 2.10.8 version number for either build, so don't go by that. If you don't or can't get the newer build with the '-1' suffix from MacUpdate, go direct here and download:

PS, 5-stars for the excellent work by developers once this was reported, to fix the problem in a little over 24 hours. Problem was due to Apple making it more difficult with each release of macOS to maintain compatibility with older versions of OSX/macOS when using newer xcode and other developer tools. Developer had to revert to older Xcode to make it work, plus some fancy reconfigurations, and he posted an article with technical details that might help other developers running into same issues maintaining compatibility with older macOSes.

OS X: GIMP is a fantastic free alternative to Photoshop for all desktop operating systems, but on Mac it was a bit of a pain to set it up, because you needed to install X11. Gimp now, however, comes with a standard DMG installer.

Now to install GIMP on your Mac, you just open the downloaded DMG file and, like you do with other Mac apps, drag the GIMP.app to your Applications folder. Easy as pie.

The latest 2.8.2 update fixes some bugs, while version 2.8 added a new interface and features like layer groups, on-canvas text editing, and more.

Here's the link to the download file:
