What is the
GIMP |
|
The GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely
distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo
retouching, image composition and image authoring. This site
contains information about downloading, installing, using, and
enhancing GIMP. This site also serves as a distribution point for
the latest releases, patches, plugins, and scripts. We also try to
provide as much information about the GIMP community and related
projects as possible. |
Where can I get The
Gimp? |
|
Easy. From this site. Just look at the Download section. There
you'll find the latest stable and the current development version.
|
What about Gimp for
Windows? |
|
This is the question we get the most mail about. Yes, there
is GIMP for Windows.

GIMP 1.3.12
Released |
|
A new development version of The GIMP is available
from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.12/
or one of the mirrors. This
release features lots of cleanups to GIMP internals such as
the undo system and the tools framework. New plug-ins
(psd-save and spheredesigner) have been added along with a
display filter that simulates color-deficient vision. The text
tool has been improved and support for large swap files
(>2GB) was added. |
GIMP 1.3.11
Released |
|
The latest development version of The GIMP can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.11/
or one of the mirrors. This
release features some incompatible changes to the gimprc file
format. If you installed earlier versions of the 1.3 series,
you are adviced to remove your ~/.gimp-1.3 directory and do a
fresh user installation. |
GIMP 1.2.4-pre2 available for
testing |
|
Many bugs have been fixed in the stable version of
the GIMP (1.2.x) while the active development is taking place
in the 1.3 series. A pre-release
version is available now for testing (also from our mirrors). This is
not the final 1.2.4 release yet, so it should not be included
in any larger software distribution. But if you want to
contribute to the development effort, please test this version
and use Bugzilla
to report any bugs. |
GIMP Development Version hits
the Big 1-0 |
|
GIMP version 1.3.10 has been released. In addition
to many tweaks and bugfixes, this is the first release in the
1.3 series in which Python scripting can be enabled. As with
all GIMP releases, 1.3.10 can be downloaded from your favorite
mirror. Happy bug hunting! |
GIMP 1.3.9
Released |
|
The latest development version of The GIMP can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.9/.
Please remember that this is an unstable version, so save
early and save often. |
GIMP 1.3.7
Released |
|
Unfortunately the 1.3.6 tarball had some problems
and we decided to do another release to address these. ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.7/
has the new tarball as well as a patch to update from version
1.3.6. |
GIMP 1.3.6
Released |
|
The 1.3 saga continues. Episode 6 just appeared on
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.3/v1.3.6/.
Please don't push our new disk to its limits and try one of
the mirrors
instead. Keep in mind that this release is a development
version that might crash any second, so don't use it for real
work. |
www.gimp.org recovers after
disk crash |
|
We experienced a disk crash two weeks ago. Most of
the site has been restored from the backups and updated as
necessary, but some updates may have been lost. If you see any
broken links, please report
them to Bugzilla as described on the webmasters
page. | |
