GIMP comes with a built-in help system, available in dozens of languages. Onceyou have started the program, press F1 for context-sensitive help.You may have to install the help pages from a separate package (gimp-help),depending on how your version of GIMP was packaged.
Mac Gimp 2.10 Manual
The flatpak link above should open your software installer and prompt you to install GIMP. Yet it may not work out-of-the-box on some platforms since the flatpak technology is new. If that is the case, ensure flatpak is installed and if clicking the link still does not prompt to install GIMP, then manually install by command line:

An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp once you have Macports installed.
Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp.
Fink is a package repository that offer mostly precompiled binaries. It provides the apt-get command known to e.g. Debian and Ubuntu users, and installing GIMP is as easy as sudo apt-get install gimp once you have installed the Fink installer. If there's no binary package, then fink install gimp will compile GIMP from source.

I cannot find instructions on how to INSTALL Gimp User Manual. I keep getting messages that "User Manual Has Not Been Installed" when I tried to set Preferences to access Help via locally installed manual vs. the Online version. i am able to download as PDF but not INSTALL.
On OS X:If you got your GIMP from gimp.lisanet.de, then1. go to the Download section there,2. scroll down to 'GIMP 2.8 user manual',3. download the user manual of your language,4. unzip the downloaded manual and install the unzipped installer package.
You should get GIMP from gimp.org whenever possible. What operating systemare you using Mike? If we know that then people can stop throwing outblanket guesses of support and we can actually get you the rightinformation you need.

You're right and usually this is the advice I (or we from the GIMP team)give. Unfortunately the OS X build we usually recommend hasn'treleased version 2.8.6 (yet) and all attempts to get the previous 2.8.4build working with a manually installed help failed for me.As adviced at the download page one could also try the MacPorts orFink builds.MacPorts has released only the English help in version 2.8. and usuallytakes very long to get a running version, because everything is builtfrom scratch. Thus that would only be a solution if one had lots oftime. Fink seems currently to be unreachable.

It might work with the builds from gimp.lisanet.de. Surely it doesn'twork for me for instance with Clayton Walkers build.The mentioned PKG file installs to '/Users/Shared/Library/Application\ Support/Gimp/help'. Even when setting the environment variableGIMP2_HELP_URI=file:///Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Gimp/helpit doesn't work. I set GIMP2_HELP_URI by editing$HOME/MacOSX/environment.plist, logging off and on and starting the GIMP application icon.GIMP tells me in the Preferences, that the help files are now found,but calling the help with the built-in help browser results in theerror message'The GIMP help browser is not available.The GIMP help browser plug-in appears to be missing from your installation. You may instead use the web browser for reading the help pages.'

GIMP is image editing software for Apple Mac, Windows PC and Linux computers that is free to download. For hobby and low-budget users, this free app has been a good alternative to Photoshop and similar professional tools for image and photo editing for years - or better: decades. In this post I have put together a safe source for the GIMP download as well as sources of supply for instructions and GIMP books in German. Because a good manual is the best way to learn how to get started with new software! The following information about GIMP for Mac can be used almost 1: 1 for the Windows PC;)
A GIMP crash course, an extensive GIMP tutorial and instructions for using certain tools in the free graphics program can be found in video form on YouTube. Not only English videos await you there, but also some in German. If you search for "GIMP Tutorial German" you will already find numerous videos - including the current version GIMP 2.10. If you use other search terms to specify your request for individual tools, menus or settings, you will see even more videos that deal with those very topics. Below are three general videos that can help you get started with the GIMP app.
From my own experience, I can tell you that neither manuals nor video tutorials alone make you a professional in an app. It all depends on the right mix. Because if you want to look up something quickly without getting too torn from your work, then manuals with index / glossary are worthwhile. But if you want to understand more complex procedures beyond a few small explanations and screenshots, then video tutorials on GIMP and all other apps are of course worth gold. But you should note that the possibility of distraction from the actual project is always great;)
After graduating from high school, Johannes completed an apprenticeship as a business assistant specializing in foreign languages. But then he decided to research and write, which resulted in his independence. For several years he has been working for Sir Apfelot, among others. His articles include product introductions, news, manuals, video games, consoles, and more. He follows Apple keynotes live via stream.
After this article was published, GIMP released (Dec. 2, 2022) separate builds for ARM Macs and Intel Macs. Neither of these builds work with the instructions in this article. Please download and install GIMP 2.10.32 revision 0 (released on June 12, 2022) in order for this article to successfully enable the resynthesizer plugin.
Note that if you download the latest version of GIMP (2.10.32 revision 1) from here, this tutorial will not work to enable the resynthesizer plugin. In order for this article to work, you will need to remove GIMP 2.10.32 revision 1 (and/or other GIMP versions) by dragging the GIMP app from /Applications to the trash, and install GIMP 2.10.32 revision 0 from the link above.
This user's guide introduces you to some of high bit depth GIMP's new editing capabilities that are made possible by GEGL's high bit depth processing. The guide also points out a few "gotchas" that you should be aware of. Please keep in mind that GIMP 2.9 really is a development branch, so many things don't yet work exactly like they will work when GIMP 2.10 is released. 2ff7e9595c
