What was Gimpshop before?
Gimpshop was an open-source image editing software designed to be a free alternative to the giant Adobe Photoshop. It was created by Scott Moschella, was customizable, and was available on multiple platforms. It could be downloaded directly from gimpshop.com.
Development of GIMPshop effectively ceased by 2007, with the final version being based on GIMP version 2.2.11. Some users extended the lifespan of GIMPshop by manually updating GIMPshop’s libraries themselves.
GIMPshop listed various features of GIMP and shared its customizability and availability at various platforms, but had a user-friendly interface modeled on that of Photoshop.
Therefore, many tutorials for previous versions of Photoshop could be followed in GIMPshop with minimal modification.
All of GIMP’s plugins were available in GIMPshop.
