Description of Gimpshop

Open Source software has never been known for its photo processing prowess. Until now, that is.

Gimpshop is an exceedingly powerful Photoshop lookalike that has far more features than you, or most people you know, will ever use. If you're looking to do something as simple as touch up photos, or something far more sophisticated, like work in multiple layers, it has the tools you need.

There are also numerous effects and filters, the ability to easily create color gradients, and plenty more. In fact, if all you want to do is basic photo-retouching, it's probably overkill. But if you want to indulge your inner artist, there's plenty. The program is based on a long-time Open Source favorite, GIMP, but has more fit and polish, and a Photoshop-like identity.

  Strengths: Most of it works

  Weaknesses: Help files are missing and searching the internet, so far, has not produced any.

  Overall Evaluation: With help files to use as a guide, this could be a usable substitute for PhotoShop. Without help files, it really isn't of much use at all.

  Strengths: Good User Interface and Icons. Seems pretty complete in terms of functionality, compared with PhotoShop/PaintShopPro.

  Weaknesses: Really unstable! When trying to add Text to an image, for example, the text entry pop-up would suddenly disappear, the font size would revert back to the previous setting, etc. Extremely frustrating to use.

  Overall Evaluation: Not ready for prime time! As mentioned by someone else, it is a beta version, and it really shows it. I do think it has great promise, if the developer chooses to fix the instabilities.

  Strengths: unknown, This is a BETA version. Has potential with the right programming for WINDOWS versions especially XP

  Weaknesses: Definitely not ready for WINDOWS XP, must seek out the Application EXE and then must seek out among the massive load of menu's how to OPEN a photo file.

  Overall Evaluation: WARNING, this is a BETA, lots of bugs to be worked out for WINDOWS users on a PC

  Strengths: Lot's of good filters and it's easy to use

  Weaknesses: It's not Photoshop and while image processing is good it's still not photoshop

  Overall Evaluation: What I like about this package is that it has lots of great filters. Many of these are not available in Photoshop and you would have to spend a few hundred dollars in third party filters to get these. THis package is great if you do not have photoshop or fireworks and you want a free alternative. Either way it is a decent package but it lacks the finesse and speed of professional photo editing software.
