GIMP 2.8.0 has been released and in the last few days I‘ve been working on the packages for Mac OS X to get them ready for download.

And now, I‘m glad to announce the GIMP 2.8.0 packages for Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Lion.

A lot of things have been changed in the 2.8 series of GIMP. For a more detailed look at all the new features, go over to the Gimp Release Notes and see what the new and shiny 2.8.0 will give to you.

And to make the GIMP on OS X version even more attractive for photo editing, I‘ve included a lot of powerful plugins and added some code to the the sources which will preserve EXIF and IPTC metadata on TIFF and JPEG images, so they don‘t get lost in your photo editing workflow.

For a brief information about all those other great and powerful plugins which are shipped preinstalled with the GIMP on OS X packages, just go to the Photo Editing page.

Finally, if you like the GIMP on OS X packages and all my efforts to give you the best open source image editing and manipulating solftware right on your Mac, please consider to support this project and make some donation.

So, enough of words, download the new package and

enjoy your new GIMP ...
