Posted by pudge on from the now-i-can-make-my-own-sequel-to-the-matrix dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Film Gimp, the most popular open source tool in feature motion picture work, has released its first Macintosh version. Film Gimp is now available for Mac OS X, Linux, and SGI Irix. Film Gimp is a frame-by-frame retouching tool used by motion picture studios as an alternative tool to Adobe Photoshop. Film Gimp was used on the movies Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, Stuart Little, and other productions."

    Being pure aqua is unlikely, since FilmGimp is based on GTK. However, things will get significantly faster when GTK gets a good cocoa port. There is some work in progress, but it isn't really ready yet. However, this still doesn't mean that it will look like Aqua.

    To port FilmGimp to run natively on Cocoa is an undertaking that it doesn't sound like anyone is trying to take. Heck, nobody is going it for regular gimp either. And the windows ports of both are based on GTK for windows, not native. So, don't expect it anytime soon.
