The GIMP-GAP (GIMP Animation Package) is a collection of Plug-Ins to extend GIMP with capabilities to edit and create animations as sequences of single frames. How do I install GAP for GIMP on my Mac? Answered Jul 28, 2015 Author has 102 answers and 428.6k answer views. For lack of specific instructions, which I suspect may take me just as long to find as you, I know that there's really no reason to do compiling yourself for a stock application like GAP on OS X. Tutorials for compiling your own.

• Gap Gimp 2.8
• Gap For Gimp 2.10

The GIMP is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as image composition, photo retouching and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages.

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.

GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

Features:

• Painting
  • Full suite of painting tools including Brush, Pencil, Airbrush, Clone, etc.
  • Sub-pixel sampling for all paint tools for high quality anti-aliasing
  • Extremely powerful gradient editor and blend tool
  • Supports custom brushes and patterns
• System
  • Tile based memory management so image size is limited only by available disk space
  • Virtually unlimited number of images open at one time
• Advanced Manipulation
  • Full alpha channel support
  • Layers and channels
  • Multiple Undo/Redo (limited only by diskspace)
  • Editable text layers
  • Transformation tools including rotate, scale, shear and flip
  • Selection tools including rectangle, ellipse, free, fuzzy and intelligent
  • Advanced path tool doing bezier and polygonal selections.
  • Transformable paths, transformable selections.
  • Quickmask to paint a selection.
• Extensible
  • A Procedural Database for calling internal GIMP functions from external programs as in Script-fu
  • Advanced scripting capabilities (Scheme, Python, Perl)
  • Plug-ins which allow for the easy addition of new file formats and new effect filters
  • Over 100 plug-ins already available
• Animation
  • Load and save animations in a convenient frame-as-layer format
  • MNG support
  • Frame Navigator (in GAP, the GIMP Animation Package)
  • Onion Skin (in GAP, the GIMP Animation Package)
  • Bluebox (in GAP, the GIMP Animation Package)
• File Handling
  • File formats supported include bmp, gif, jpeg, mng, pcx, pdf, png, ps, psd, svg, tiff, tga, xpm, and many others
  • Load, display, convert, save to many file formats
  • SVG path import/export

What's New:

Optimizations and multi-threading for painting and display

• A major regression of GIMP 2.10, compared to 2.8, was slower painting. To address this issue, several contributors (Ell, Jehan, Massimo Valentini,Øyvind Kolås…) introduced improvements to the GIMP core, as well as to the GEGL and babl libraries. Additionally, Elle Stone and Jose Americo Gobbo contributed performance testing.
• The speed problems pushed Ell to implement multi-threading within GIMP, so that painting and display are now run on separate threads, thus greatly speeding up feedback of the graphical interface.
• The new parallelization framework is not painting-specific and could be used for improving other parts of GIMP.

Themes rewritten

• Since the development version 2.9.4, we had new themes shipped withGIMP, and in particular dark themes (as is now common for creative applications). Unfortunately they were unmaintained, bugs kept piling up, and the user experience wasn’t exactly stellar.

All the new features we added for this release are instrumental in either improving how GIMP handles system resources, or helping you to report bugs and recover lost data. Complete release note here.

Gimp-gap in GIMP 2.8

Hi developing people.

First of all, congratulations for the excelent work in gimp 2.8. Thesoftware is amazing. Better than never.Now for the business. I'm working in an animation/comics, called TheDetail Library project, since 2007 and we use Gimp with GAP toeverything. So I was wondering:
When we can get the GIMP-GAP for 2.8, if exist someone working on it,and even if (in the case of be an abandoned project) if exist some wayto obtain the same resources in gimp. Can someone please help (withinformation, since we can still use gimp 2.6 for a while)

The most used features in our project are:

The 'Next/Previous image', it makes fast the edition of multipleimages, is better tha the tabs in sligle windowed mode.The Playback feature (crucial to animation). For pencil test is moreprecise than the actual 'playback in the filter menusThe 'Modifier Layers' I belive the 'BIMP' (Batch Image Manipulator)can replace it.
The 'Covert', according to the new export/save behavior must beadapted to a 'export multiple files'

So we are looking for this resources in gimp 2.8, any info about willbvery helpful

Thanks a lot and soory for the 'caveman's english'

Gimp-gap in GIMP 2.8

Hi Daniel -

what specifically is not working in GIMP-GAP iin GIMP 2.8?

Since a grea deal of exfort is put in GIMP in order not to break plug-in API's,regular GIMP-GAP shoud just work on GIMP 2.8, and if not, it culd bereported as a bug on GIMP itself.

However, you might find it easier to get a pre-compiled version ofGIMP-GAP for your platform - GIMP-GAP,a s GIMP itself is developed andpresented in source code only - whoever packaged GIMP-GAP for yourGIMP 2.6 should make a release with binaries for GIMP 2.8 as well - oryou might simply build GIMP-GAP yourself from teh tarball. Actually, Ithink even the same binaries could work - have you simply triedcopying the files from the plug-ins directory of gimp-2.6 to gimp 2.8?

Hi,
I just want to say that everything works just fine in the *ppa:otto- kesselgulasch/gimp all resources I've checked in GAP are working properly.

Thank you Alexandre and João for the quick answer and thanks everyone in the gimp devel.

Gimp-gap in GIMP 2.8

Hi folks,

Sorry to come back to this again, but now i've got a problem! Not everything is working fine with gimp-gap. i belive that i have found one bug. In the 'frames modify' i can't access the 'function' options. The only avaiable is the 'Set Layer Visible'.

I'm using GIMP 2.8 from the ppa:otto-kesselgulash (ubuntu 12.04)

Gap Gimp 2.8

Gimp-gap in GIMP 2.8

Just for the record (or, how I've solve the problem), I've found a very nice solution to use GIMP in the 'multiple window' mode inside the UNITY (ubuntu 12.04) enviroment. Is just run the GIMP with the command:

in terminal:

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gimp (That will place the menus in the windows instead of the top bar)

OR APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 gimp
(that will place the menus both in the top bar and in the windows)

via ALT+F2:

env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gimp

env APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 gimp

Or make a 'gimp.desktop' file with an text editor and place in the launcher:

[Desktop Entry] Version=2.6.12
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec= env APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 gimp Name=Gimp
GenericName=Gimp Painter
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/gimp.svg

thanks, Udan
