Gimp on OS X is still using X11 for it's interface, so it has some overhead compared to a native Aqua app on OS X, if there is something buggered with your or Leopard's in general X11 setup, that would cause Gimp grief.

Oh, and looking at the community Gimp packages for OS X...



So... that looks to be the trouble, go to How to install GIMP on mac OS X 10.5.2 or greater to see how to fix it.

maybe tomorrow ill get some time to play around with it!

As opposed to non-Open Source software, which isn't free (as in speech) and may or may not be free (as in beer), and which is not always perfect.

As far as the original poster's issues...which version of Gimp were you using (i.e. was it the latest, and was it from gimp.org or a third-party distribution site)? If it was from a third party, I'd double-check the full version (as the bug you encountered may have been fixed in a more recent version).

point taken

3rd party distribution.

I agree now that the fault may have been in my own hands, but it is an issue with running some open source software.

its always a work in progress.
