| GIMPshop is essentially Gimp with some cosmetic changes. The Gimp’s menu structure and naming conventions had been a constant source of frustration for me because I was so used to Photoshop. So, I did what any hardcore graphics geek would have done. I hacked GIMPshop together. It’s a proof of concept and it’s a little buggy, so don’t expect too much.It shares all GIMPs advantages, including the long feature list and customisability, while addressing some common criticisms regarding the programs interface: GIMPshop modifies the menu structure to closely match Photoshops, adjusts the programs terminology to match Adobes, and, in the Windows version, uses a plugin called Deweirdifier to combine the applications numerous windows in a similar manner to the MDI system used by most Windows graphics packages. While GIMPshop does not support Photoshop plugins, all GIMPs own plugins, filters, brushes, etc. remain available.Due to the changes to the interface, many Photoshop tutorials can be followed in GIMPshop unchanged, and most others can be adapted for GIMPshop users with minimal effort.Demand on hard disk is only 30.1 MB (GIMP needs 84.9 MB).Basic installation in difference to GIMP only with english user surface, no other languages. |
