I know a LOT of people who will only use Mac laptops and a ton more graphic and web designers who use Macs religiously. I have yet to find someone who uses any Mac products that run Gimp so I find this to be an interesting point.
- joemi 7y agoDo you really think there aren't any people who use a Mac and run GIMP? Why would Mac distributions of it exist if no one used it? I use a Mac and run GIMP. I even bought a recommended app (I think it was Pixelmator?) a few years ago and tried switching to it, but I liked GIMP better so that's what I stuck with.
- tikej 7y agoWell here I am, using GIMP on macbook, although not professionally. I like the os and so on, yet I try to keep my workflow as FOSS as possible. I invest a lot of time in learning and mastering my tools so I believe that using preferably multiplatform and Free software will let me keep my skills and hours I put into learning stuff under my, not some vendor’s control (e.g. if apple keeps going the direction it is going at the moment). This is why I use emacs, inkscape, gdb, gcc etc. on Mac OS
- mhuffman 7y agoI used GIMP just today ... for paid work! ... on a Mac. Granted it isn't a full-fledged replacement for Photoshop, and I do have an Adobe CC subscription, but some things are simply faster and easier (for me) with GIMP.
- jlawer 7y agoEvery developers machine at an web agency I worked for had Gimp Installed and the supplied machines were Macs.... Only designers got the $110+ a seat Creative Cloud Subscriptions.
