#DOWNLOAD SEASHORE FOR MAC DRIVERS#
Apart from of course providing the final product as open content, the aim is to develop and improve open source graphics software by using it in a production environment in the real world – we aren’t going to be coding drivers or OSes here. We never said that we’d work with exclusively open source software for every bit on the hard drive, because that’s almost impossible (think closed source linux graphics drivers) and it’s not the point of this exercise. Jarod, I think Ton’s comment at the bottom of this page explains it well, please read it: I am looking for stuff to get the tablet pressure sensitivity working with Gimp for a long time, but still nothing! Sorry I ask, but is there someone how knows something like Seashore for Windows XP. I am to stupide for working fast on linux,I think.:) I think I forgive you all for using Max OS X.

« Now its feeling like a movie! | Title and Script News »įirst of all, excited I observe this blog and the whole project and I’m a big fan, but I’m confused a little bit, I thought the orange exclusively work with opensource software, but MAC OS X isn’t?Īnd the audio stuff? …will be made with opensource or not? If there are any Cocoa-savvy programmers out here that would like to help us out in our mission to improve open source graphics software in production, here’s how you can get eternal fame, glory, and a warm fuzzy feeling inside :)

There are a couple of other features that we’d like extended, such as having the tablet pressure affect size as well as opacity, which hasn’t been implemented yet.

The code is in CVS at sourceforge, it seems pretty clean, and the filter/plug-in system seems pretty good too. Seashore is really early in development, and strangely enough the GIMP developers didn’t seem to know about it at all. XCF file format which is great – we can run both applications side by side, using Seashore for painting and if we need any extra filters or functionality that’s in GIMP, it’s just a quick save and reload away. Seashore takes the GIMP core and wraps it up in a lovely native Mac (Cocoa) user interface, and to our joy, it supports tablet sensitivity. I then remembered a post on drunkenblog mentioning a little open source Mac application called Seashore. Unfortunately all the options (hacking GIMP, or X11, or paying a developer to work on a proper Mac OS X version of GTK+) were not very nice, leaving us without much luck.

We got in touch with some GIMP developers, who were quite helpful, giving us ideas of how to proceed, with a developer contact at Wacom sharing some hints as well. GIMP is based on the GTK+ toolkit, which has not yet been ported to run on Mac OS X natively, so GIMP uses Apple’s open source implementation of X11, which does not pass tablet events through to applications. GIMP is one of the few open source image editors available on Mac OS X, and it works pretty well, but with one major issue – it doesn’t support tablet pressure sensitivity, which is vital for texture painting. We’ve had a bit of a problem to solve over the last weeks, to do with texture painting on the Macs here.
