What's a good image editing program I can use on a G3 that can run under 128mb that isn't GIMP? I need something that's like Photoshop. What is a version of Photoshop that can run under 128mb by the way? What is an alternative? I don't care if it's slow, it just needs to run okay on its own.
View 7 RepliesDoes anyone know of a good, free XML editor?
I found an old topic from 2005 about this, but the suggestions either required a purchase or were absolute overkill (like Eclipse.... wow....no).
I would prefer it not to be a Java application, because those are slow and look like poo.
I know that TextEdit can be used, but I'd like one that can at least highlight the tags. It would be nice if it could perform checks, too.
I also tried googling around, but I didn't find what I needed.
i've used seashore, pixelmator, and pixel 1.0, and i was wondering if there was some other app that was free and has the same functions as pixelmator. my one quip with seashore was that it couldn't resize images to specifications. (or maybe i never found out how to)
i enjoyed pixelmator except for the fact it was a 30 day trial and had a watermark stamped across it.
what other image editors are out there?
I am new to Mac and I need to find a way of editing JPEG files in a manner similar to the editing capabilities of MS Paint. I.e., nothing very fancy, but cropping, changing color fills, adding text, and saving in high or low resolution. Can you help me find out how to do this on an OS X Lion Macintosh?
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
I'm relatively new to OS X and love it. I've found counterparts to all of my old windows software I rely on except an image editor. I use to love paint.net on windows - I do lots of image editing where I need something more powerful than paint on windows (or paintbrush on os x), but don't want the learning curve and extra features of Photoshop or GIMP. Also, I'd like it to be free if at all possible.

Let me be clear about this... I don't need a porn image downloader. I am looking for a downloader that works with celebrity photo forums such as Superior Pics, Celebutopia, etc. These are sites where hi resolution press photos of celebrities are posted for public viewing, collecting, and sharing. These are public forums that link to image storage sites like Imageshack, imageavenue, etc.
the software used by the porn collectors for ripping sites does not work, because the images are stored on a separate server. There are a ton of windows programs that do what I'm looking for, but hardly any for mac.
The software can be a standalone program or a plugin for Safari, Foxfire, et al. I have found some programs but they usually are pay per use, and don't really state whether they would work for what I want. I don't want to nickel and dime myself, buying programs that are not what I want.
By the way... copyright issues are already considered with these sites. I, myself, am a digital media artist, and go out of my way to fully respect the intellectual property rights of others. I am not looking for software that will be used for illegal purposes.
I just happen to have become a collector of celebrity pictures and it is a pain in the butt sometimes to have to download a photoshoot one picture at a time, when someone posts 100 hi-res photos of Marilyn Monroe or Salma Hayek or other hollywood stars that you would like to add to your collection. It is kind of like autograph or comic book collecting, only with no resale value.
I recently put up an e-commerce site and as part of entering products I can input images in 3 sizes.
1. 100 x 80 which is used for photos put on the main page of the website to be clicked on for further information
2. 200 x 250 to be used for the image in the actual product description
3. 300 x 400 to be used as a larger photo as a pop-up picture if someone wants to see a larger picture.
The pictures can vary in size but unless the variation is small the pictures will all very in size on the main page of my website which will give it a bad appearance.
Unfortunately when I get stock photos many vary in size. I want to know if there's an easy way to resize pictures. The only concerns I have is that making them larger may make them appear stretched or making them smaller may give the opposite appearance. Also, since I am doing this to many pictures I want a solution that is quick and easy, maybe as simple as taking a picture, choosing a new size, and saving it with the change.
I currently have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 with PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Fireworks but am not sure if this does it in an easy way and of course I prefer to use Mac over Windows

I just downloaded Gimp 2.6.6 recently and when I tried using it It bounced up once then crashed, leaving no report dialogue or anything.
I have Xquartz 2.3.2.
I would ask this in the Software section but they don't seem to help me out. Whatever, I just want to import/ lightly edit some videos but iLife '08 is the only version I have which means that iMovie doesn't support my G4.

I used to use flashed PC cards of 9800 Pro for my G4s but figured there are better cards for the G5. I do prefer to get PC cards since they are cheaper and I can flash them.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI bought a used G5 this is my first time using a mac, I installed the drivers then removed the original graphics card and installed a ATI. I want to run 2 monitors- so when I booted the system and plugged the two monitors, only one of my screens loaded and it showed the background of my OS. My mouse would move off the screen- so it felt as if I was on the 2nd screen. But the other screen would not load (and it was on). How do I properly set this up?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have used Gimp for about one year with no issues. I updated gimp to newer version 2.6 and now I can not get past errors.
Here is the scenario, then the supporting information;
- I updated gimp, then have 'The application gimp-2.6 quit unexpectedly' error
- X11 was up to date from the MAC side, so I updated to the latest version of X11 from Xquartz, then have same gimp error AND 'The application dbus-launch quit unexpectedly'.
- I removed both with AppZapper and loaded X11 from my Apple software disc with no improvement, I still have both errors.
- I tried an older version of Gimp and it did not work (no menu bar) and I think it was 2.4.7(?)
So with apple standard X11 and fresh install of gimp 2.6 I still am unable to start gimp. Nor will X11 open when I click the icon in apps folder.

Just installed an Airport Extreme card in an iBook G4 (running Panther). Signal strength within a few feet of the wireless router (Netgear) is usually high to medium. But when I leave the room it's in the signal drops all the sudden. I haven't had much experience with wireless networking, so I'm not that familiar with this. We do have a lot of cables and wires related to the computers in the main room where the router is, could that be "blocking" the signal from outside that room?

Also disk utility says the hard drive needs permissions repaired but I would need to insert the install disk to fix them and since I don�t have disk warrior or drive genius already installed it seems like a problem is going to happen soon.

Every time I open Gimp 2.8 (Mac Package) and try to edit text, it crashes. I Have the same issue with Photoshop CS5. Here is the error log using Gimp 2.8:

This issue is really driving me nuts. I reinstalled PS CS5 several times, emptied font cache and check the harddisk for issues. No change at all. (aLmost) Every time I want to edit a text area in Gimp or Photoshop the programs crashes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBeing the IT guy at work, I've inherited a (currently) non-functioning Dual 2.0 GHz PowerMac G5. It' exhibiting some pretty odd symptoms. Let me explain:
First of all, the problems started with the machine coming on (fans audible, Apple chime 'chimes'), but nothing was displayed on the
screen. This led me to believe if might be a video card issue, so we ordered a replacement from OWC and no dice. After trying this, I happened to leave the machine on unintentionally for a while, and after about 5 minutes, the fans ramped up to full speed, very loudly. Since we were in a bit of a time crunch (and it was out of warranty) we gave up on it, and purchased our graphics designer a new Mac Pro.
With a bit of googling, I determined that this sound a bit like a dead PRAM battery. So once again, off to OWC I went and purchased a replacement. I get it setup at home last night, and still no dice. If fires up just fine and chimes, but no image on the screen. And here's where it gets weird...
I powered the machine down, and took the cover off to check the PRAM battery again, thinking I may have inadvertently put it in backwards. It looked fine (fits both ways, BTW, so I'm still not 100% sure I have it in right), so I powered the machine backup--but without putting the cover on accidentally. The red light on the mobo came on indicating the cover was off, but I figured I'd wait to see what would happen first. Still nothing on the screen, so I popped the plastic shield in and latched the side cover, and BOOM! Wouldn't you know, it displays an image! I can see a folder icon with the Finder icon on it.
This is 100% reproducible every single time. If I turn it on with the cover ON, I can never get an image to display. However, if I remove the cover and plastic shield, fire it up, then replace the shield and cover, I always get the folder with Finder icon.This is quite perplexing. I should also note that I had my retail Leopard install disc in the drive the whole time, hoping to boot to the DVD if I got an image. It obviously wasn't automatically booting from the DVD, but instead would always display the Finder icon.
Being a post-PowerPC Mac convert, I'm not really sure how to proceed.I'm still not really convinced that there is an underlying hardware issue still, but I suppose it's a possibility.
I am creating a new image for some old iBooks that will be used in a school. To run a specific program I need to have OS 9.2 installed because it won't work any other way(even through the simulator). I have OS 10.2 installed on the master image iBook computer and have installed OS 9.2 through the restore disks. I can load up to both OS X and OS 9.2 but OS 9.2 does not take up the entire screen. It's contained within a small box in the middle of the screen.
