Version: GIMPshop 2.2.8
"I think people are missing the point"
Pros: Menus and tools have been rewritten to reflect the names used in Photoshop. The whole point of GIMPShop is to offer those folks who are using bootleg copies of Photoshop a legal alternative. Most functions in Photoshop are duplicated in GIMP, but the names of those ******** are sometimes unrecognizable (i.e. Auto Levels in Photoshop is called Normalize in GIMP). GIMPShop uses the PS naming conventions to make the transition easier for long time Photoshop users. This is not for GIMP enthusiasts. If you know and use GIMP well, this is not the program for you.
Cons: As in regular GIMP, the multiple Windows for Tools, Layers and Workspace can be cumbersome as you can only use one window at a time. There is a plugin to remedy this, but if you are comfortable with using plugins, it can be a hassle.
