GimpShop: GIMP taking on Photoshop

Late is the hour when open source answers. There are some of us who'd like to recommend GIMP to those using Adobe Photoshop - behemoth on Operating Systems that get sluggish, the moment you start working on something huge. You can't just uninstall everything, yet GIMP had an alien interface and GIMP for windows was more GIMP, less familiar to the Photoshop community.

It wasn't released yesterday; why this post?

The original Photoshop tools equivalent to GIMP tools have been like the MS Windows 7.x to 8.x upgrade (everything is not where it used to be.) While I have convinced some, who out of brevity did try out, their patience wore thin till they got back to Adobe Photoshop. Being open-source, GIMP needed a few rebuilds, interface-changes, translations, plugin support layers to really get friendly to the Photoshop club. That's exactly what GIMPShop is.

Early Morning Photography

Punch Doggy

Here's an early morning photograph, with my favorite German Shepherd. I have done some post work without messing up with the lighting. Just click through for the high resolution version. This was done without a D-SLR. I like that fact a lot. We call him 'Punch' (after Punch and Jody), and yes there's Judy girl who is tougher to photograph, but will probably make it to my album soon enough.
