Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP access on Mac

[Ross Martinek <triarius12 gmail com>]

Open "System Preferences,” (Apple menu if you don’t have the icon in your dock.) click on the "Security & 
Privacy" icon. In the “General" pane, there should be a lock icon at the bottom. Click on that icon, type in 
your administrator password if requested. This will allow you to make changes in the panel. In the “Allow 
apps downloaded from:” section, select “Anywhere.” Close the “Preferences" panel, open GIMP. The system now 
knows this app is okay to open. Go back into "System Preferences," “General" panel, and change the allowed 
apps section back to “Mac App Store and identified developers.”
