Navigate to the Download or Application you just installed to your Mac Instead of Double-Clicking on the Icon to open, Right Click on it and choose 'Open' A Pop-Up Window will appear telling you that the Software is from an Unidentified Developer, but it will give you the option to Open it anyway. How to tell: GIMP can handle three different color modes: RGB(A), Indexed and Grayscale. The indexed colormode uses a colormap, where all used colors on the image are indexed. The color picker in GIMP however, let you choose RGB colors. That means, if you try to paint with a different color than it is indexed in the colormap, you end up in very. Windows 10 will not open.png files or let me save them as.jpeg for updates I am trying to open a.png file to windows photo viewer, but it will not view the picture. Then I try to save it to a jpeg and it won't. The problem with diagnosing someone’s computer issues over the internet, is that most people tend take some things for granted. In this case, there are no other specific references out there connecting GIMP with the exact phrase as you have quoted. OS X: GIMP is a fantastic free alternative to Photoshop for all desktop operating systems, but on Mac it was a bit of a pain to set it up, because you needed to install X11. Gimp now, however.
GIMP access on Mac
I've tried to download GIMP both ways, but have been blocked by this Apple message: 'GIMP.app can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.'
Contradictorily, I also got this message: “GIMP.app” is on the disk image “gimp-2.8.20-x86_64.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 8:16 PM from www.gimp.org.'
Two GIMP URL are listed on my Downloads, neither of which will open, and neither is listed in my applications.
I have Mac Sierra.
Can you please help me? I’ve been using GIMP for years on PC, which I have abandoned because of serious corruption issues with Windows 10.

poemystic,
Though this document is for Mac OS X 10.8, it applies to later versions, including El Capitan (I just checked on my MacBookPro). Ignore the Symantec and follow the Preferences -> Security part.
Regards.

Open 'System Preferences,” (Apple menu if you don’t have the icon in your dock.) click on the 'Security & Privacy' icon. In the “General' pane, there should be a lock icon at the bottom. Click on that icon, type in your administrator password if requested. This will allow you to make changes in the panel. In the “Allow apps downloaded from:” section, select “Anywhere.” Close the “Preferences' panel, open GIMP. The system now knows this app is okay to open. Go back into 'System Preferences,' “General' panel, and change the allowed apps section back to “Mac App Store and identified developers.”

A better way (if I remember correctly) is to right click on Gimp.app and select open from the context menu. You will then get a warning dialogue asking if you want to open the app (or not). Slelect Open to launch app.

Mac os x snow leopard download online. Prepare your Mac for installationGiven your Mac isn’t new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data.

Open Finder, locate the gimp dmg file, and then just hold the control key when you click on the Gimp dmg, and click open. It will then allow you to install/open gimp without disabling any security settings

On the latest version 2.10.8, the directions above will in fact install the 'gimp.app but when executed still get a 'unverified sources error'.
I am using mojave and have security set to install from all sources.
The version I can install is the previous version.. and it took 3 times to get that one to work.

Yeah, I get the 'unverified sources error' but there's a button in the dialog to proceed anyway with an administrator password. Hit that and you're good to go.

you need to go to security & Privacy and unlock the padlock at the bottom with your admin password then change it to App store and Identified Developers, Try installing again when it says it can't click ok then security and settings click allow, that's it
