GIMPshop the Gimp and P-shop....Free!

mouza, thanks. sounds like a very daunting task. i guess the days of ascii are pretty much gone ;)

alexander, if you get it and use it, write up your opinion of it. i've only used it enough to see what it was about and it seemed fairly good, but i'd be interested in knowing how buggy it really is or not.

Will do.

First impressioin:

Looks somewhat like photoshop. Acts somewhat like photoshop. Since I've only tooled around photoshop for a few days on one of those trials, I can't really say what the fine points of p-shop are and if g-shop has them or not.

One thing - g-shop seems more forgiving with layers and stuff than photoshop, which (at least for a newbie like me) can be confusing.

Thx Kraellin,

Not so much for the G-shop but for the GIMP info. What an amazing program.

well, i need a new computer. lately, i've been playing more with psp and g-shop and while using both of these i've been having to wait while certain actions are rendered. in g-shop it was the 'warp' tool. in psp it's some of the effect menu stuff :) i've also recently been backing up my picture files.....almost 6 gigs now. and there's more on other disks.

quietus, you're welcome :) the Gimp has been around for a while, but i'd never used it till i heard of gimpshop, so i dont know the differences tween the two. the articles i read about gimpshop all pretty much stated that folks didnt like the clumsy interface of the gimp; ergo, gimpshop. and yes, i've been impressed by how much there is in that program. i had always thought 'ok, open source paint program. this is going to be somewhat lightweight.'. but, in fact, it's got a LOT of stuff. i'm still exploring it on and off.
