Why wont a program on your mac open after you downloaded it you downloaded paintbrush ipiant and the gimp but they wont open so why wont they open?

Applications may not open because they do not find the operating system they were expecting. Both the latest versions of PaintBrush and iPaint require Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) while the latest version of GIMP requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

There are older versions of the software available that support older versions of the Mac OS such as 10.4 (Tiger).

How do you put dropable dialogs back into a GIMP toolbox?

I actually wondered this for a while when I updated my GIMP before figuring this one out. I tried dragging the entire window and dropping it, but that obviously didn't work. Then I tried grabbing just inside the window and dragging that.

Let's take the dialogue box "Layers" for example. The entire window is, in my case, surrounded by a blue border (I use Windows, obviously) telling me that this window is active. Instead of grabbing the blue border, I grab the word "Layers" at the top and drag it into GIMP where it says "You can drop dock-able dialogues here".

To add more dialogues to my GIMP toolbox, I drag the dialogue to the raised bar that separates my GIMP toolbox and my other docked dialogues.

I hope I've explained this well enough. If something is still hazy, please feel free to ask. Good luck.

How do you get brush toolbox back in gimp?

click Window>>>toolbars>>>toolbox

sometimes people will accidentally hit the TAB key on their keyboard, which hides all toolbars on the screen. Hitting TAB a second time will bring all of the toolbars back. It's a great way to clear the screen so you can clearly see what you're doing (instead of actually closing them.)

You can compress the pictures when they are saved, and the level of compression depends on the format you choose when saving the picture.
