where's gimpshop ? (the one with photoshop like interface)

I've try gimpshop from shadowhand's repo, as well as the PKGBUILD from Snowman.
Both of them gave us The Gimp interface.
I've got nothing "against" that interface by myself, but I'm simply trying to give my fellow graphist a usable tool to possibly replace his 6-years favorite application... wink

Shadowhand himself pointed out back in semptember that its package now carries Gimp.
I thought Snowman's will stay ~shop, but after I makepkg-ed it, I can assure you it's not  :cry:

As I'm an abs/makepkg baby user, it may take ages before I try to build my own.

Now I'm asking my 2 questions

- Please do you know if there's a gimpshop somewhere for Arch ?

- And why do those gimp package/PKGBUILD keep gimpshop names if they just cary The Gimp ?

Re: where's gimpshop ? (the one with photoshop like interface)

Gimpshop IS the Gimp, but with a few tweaks to the menus and a reorganization of the tools. I think you are expecting Gimpshop to be more than it is...

Try running Gimpshop, look at the interface, then install Gimp and look again. There are differences, they just aren't that dramatic. IMHO, Gimp-devel (also in my repo) is more like Photoshop than Gimpshop is....

I agree - i've installed gimpshop and to be honest, it's a little annoying. (At the windows version is).

All it does is put gimp within a container app. It also permits easy mapping of typical PS short-cuts.

I'd say stick with gimp.

No way? I thought that was one of the main points of even bothering to make gimpshop.

Best part is this isn't hard at all - if I get real bored, I may throw together a container app for gimp, seeing as thats one of my biggest issues in tiling WMs

& that's just what he wants, or better say *needs*.

I'd say stick with gimp.

Uh, did you see that *I*'m allright with Gimp ?

Well, even mebecause I do some training for guys on Photoshop would like to see the tools in kind of same place & same for the shortcuts

Here's how gimpshop looks, am I right ?

Re: where's gimpshop ? (the one with photoshop like interface)

I tried Gimpshop a while back, hoping that I might learn it faster as I already know Photoshop fairly well. I did end up going back to plain ol' Gimp, though, since the organization of menus and tools are pretty logic once you get used to it.

I'd recommend showing the Gimp off as it is. That way, you wont have to wait for a 2nd hand release containing exactly the same as each new release, with a different look.
