GIMP 2.8 full review GIMP has historically been problematic on the Mac platform for several reasons. The first is that it's non-native, which is to say, GIMP is really a port of a Linux/Unix app. The latest version of Gimp is 2.10 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Viewers & Editors in the Design & Photo category. The app is developed by The GIMP Team and its user rating is 4.3 out of 5.
