FREE WEBSITE MOCKUP TOOL FOR MAC FULL
Mac users familiar with typical Cocoa apps will find GIMP’s interface and menu system very “un-Mac” like (requiring the X Window System, commonly called X11), but if you soldier through you’ll find a powerful image editing program with all the fixins – advanced multi-layering, text and image effects, pro-level image manipulation, and a full range of design tools. In a nutshell, GIMP provides designers with the power to accomplish almost any task that Adobe Photoshop is used for. Which are the best compared to their commercial counterparts? Or are simply great apps in a league all their own? Put away that credit card for now and let’s find out! Which brings us to free apps for the Mac crowd.
While many of these programs are slick, they also of course cost … money. Others prefer to mix, match or blend.ĭesigners also rely on various supporting apps to accomplish every day jobs like FTP uploading, cross-browser testing (important if you’re designing/developing on a Mac platform only), screen-shot snapping, pixel measuring, and the like. And when it’s time to slice and dice, some depend on the excellent Dreamweaver CS4 for WYSIWYG design/development while many Mac code jockeys swear only by editors like Coda, BBEdit or TextMate. Professional web designers on the Mac platform rely on commercial heavy-hitters like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and InDesign for their graphic design needs.
