GIMPshop
GIMPshop is a fork of
the free/open source graphics program GIMP,
which changes the layout of the
user interface to mimic Adobe Photoshop. GIMPshop was therefore
designed to ease the transition for Photoshop users.
GIMPShop was orginally developed for Mac OS X, but has been
ported to
Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
Scott Moschella developed GIMPship " ... to make the Gimp
accessible to
the many Adobe Photoshop users out there. I hope I've done
that. And maybe along the way, I can convert a Photoshop pirate into a
Gimp user."
Features include:
GIMPshop shares GIMP's
feature list, customisability, and availability on
multiple platforms, while addressing some common criticisms regarding
the program's interface: GIMPshop modifies the menu structure to more
closely resemble Photoshop and adjusts the program's terminology to
match Adobe's. For example, the menu system has been
reorganized to match the familiar Photoshop order (File, Edit, Image,
Layer, Select, Filter, View, Window).
It supports Photoshop plugins, through a host plugin that can run on
Windows or Linux.
All of GIMP's
own plugins (filters, brushes, etc.) remain available.
