Does anyone else have this problem that after updating to Big Sur GIMP 2.10.14 is incredibly laggy and unresponsive to the point of being unusable? Does anyone know of any solutions?
GIMP was working perfectly fine up until my computer updated overnight.
Thanks
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.0
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that Gimp just released 2.10.22 for Mac. Hope this helps :)
with the caveat:
GIMP for macOS
Updated on 2020-12-24: GIMP 2.10.22 DMG revision 1
GIMP 2.10.22 build for macOS - has known performance issues on Big Sur
Thank you, I contacted GIMP through Facebook and they seemed to say similar things, that they don't have anyone making GIMP for Mac. I assume then we have to wait for an update. Hopefully GIMP 2.10.22 is released for Mac soon.
I want to echo what nusaybafrommelville said. The latest version 2.10.22 is still completely crippled by Big Sur.
None of the issues I had with 2.10.14 seem to be fixed in 2.10.22 except perhaps some speed issues, and previews and sluggish navigation in the open dialog. This makes no difference at all. This is an image editing tool, not a file navigator.
None of the selection tools work, color exchange work maybe time 1 time out of 10 and so many more I can't remember. This makes Gimp completely unusable and broken.
I've noticed this too, I realized marching ants failed to show up once I tried to select something, realized the program is completely unusable right after. There aren't any solutions to it at the moment since Gimp has yet to release a new update, although you might be able to see more about it on this forum

My GIMP 2.10.14 launches quite quickly on Big Sur. Note that GIMP is not creating macOS installers after version 2.10.14, while the latest installer for Windows is now at 2.10.22. Maybe its time to spend $50 and get Affinity Designer.
In my case, the program seems to launch perfectly and at first glance nothing has changed until you try to use the tools, it's just laggy and almost unusable. Switched to Photoshop once I read they won't be updating the program anytime soon.
The GIMP product team is responsible for the 2.10.22 product functionality and compatibility on Big Sur. Judging how long it took them to move from 2.10.14 to 2.10.22 on macOS, the current release behavior of 2.10.22 does not surprise me.
That is why I purchased Affinity Designer (now $25) because I wanted product consistency and new features that work.
Yep that was what I experienced as well. It's unfortunate there probably won't be any updates soon.
I can't select shapes by color... After mouse is depressed, the highlight of the shapes are gone and shapes are not selected.
I just updated to 2.10.22 and it still has major issues.
I'm sure the developers are working like crazy.......
We must wait for the next version.
