A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-the-teeth dept.

comforteagle writes "Scott Moschella, from Attack of the Show!, set out to make The Gimp a little friendlier with a simple UI make-over, creating GimpShop. Despite an outcry from some developers, users have picked it up with passion. Howard Wen has interviewed Scott about why he did this. From the interview: 'I've always thought that GIMP was just as powerful as Photoshop. My way of proving it was to make GIMP work as close to Photoshop as I possibly could, given my limited programming experience.' As more Windows/Mac users discover powerful open source applications are they bound (slashdot disc.) to make more discoveries of this kind?" Update: 09/16 18:48 GMT by Z : Some users have pointed out this is basically an update to a previous discussion we've had. Link added for the sake of completeness.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Paint.net. It's issued under the MIT license, is free, and has a much cleaner interface.

    Gee, I'm surprised you got Gimp working in Windows 3.1. I'd call you to offer you free support too, but I heard you dont know how to work your cordless phone ...

    Oh, sorry dippo, but gimp has zero to do with "Linux".

    Thanks for playing, but you just lost all your cred.
