GIMPshop is the open source equivalent to Adobe Photoshop for Mac. Considering the price of Photoshop ($999), many of you will find GIMPshop an incredible asset to your graphics warehouse of apps.

Installing GIMPshop is a delight, it comes in at a small download of 85MB, compared to 225MB for Adobe Photoshop. After installation GIMPshop took only 195MB compared to Photoshops 485

The original purpose for GIMPshop was to make the Gimp accessible to the many Adobe Photoshop users out there. GIMPshop is a hacked version of the GIMP by Scott Moschella called in which Scott has renamed and reorganized GIMP’s tools, options,windows, and menus to closely resemble Adobe Photoshop’s menu structure and naming conventions. Many of the menu options and even whole menus were recreated to faithfully reproduce a Photoshop-like experience.

If you’ve never used Photoshop before, you may not appreciate the GIMPshop hack, but you’ll like that it follows the long term research that has gone into Photoshops user interface. Items are just in logical places for the most part.

Longtime Photoshop users should feel very comfortable using GIMPshop.

GIMPshop is by no means a 1-to-1 copy of Photoshop and you may find some menu items that are not in perfect order. But GIMPshop’s pretty close, and I think it does the job. I’m getting lots of use out of it and I hope you do too.

Is it finally time to ditch Photoshop and go open source? Almost.
