GIMP-Photoshop Mash-up!

GimpShop is the open source image editing software, the GIMP (the worst UI in the world and perfect example of why OSS isn’t in the mainstream yet), hacked, er patched, to look and feel like Photoshop.

I’m in the middle of the 40mb download (not bad, considering Photoshop would likely be well over 100mb), but from the screenshots, this looks like it could be a killer combination.

Now available for OS X, Linux, and Windows XP.

Sweet. This guy should be rich.

UPDATE: It doesn’t change the UI as much as I would have hoped/thought. It organizes the menus better (like Photoshop’s), but the same schlocky interface problems that seem to always plague projects like the GIMP remain. I guess I should have known, but I got so excited about the prospect of a more Photoshop-like GIMP that I got a little carried away and a bit too hopeful. Damn. Nice work, still.
