About

GimPhoto is released under GPL.
GimPhoto is based on Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program).

GimPhoto is GIMP repackage with new menu, additional plugins and resources to bring the best GIMP experience to Photoshop user.

GimPhoto modification process is done at binary level so only available for Windows and there is no source code, for more understand about GimPhoto modification process then read
http://www.gimphoto.com/2007/12/gimphoto-process.html


Why made this package?
Many GIMP users thought that GIMP must be improve on many area before can be use as free Photoshop alternative (even with earlier version of Photoshop - 5.5 or 6), area that must be improved are:

- Features
Color Management, CMYK Separation, 16 bit Mode, Batch Process, Layer Adjustment, Styles, Action.

- User Interface
Menu Structure, Menu Priority, Shortcuts, Toolbox and Dialog design, Windowing System (too many big buttons and white spaces).

- Lack of Resources
More useful brushset, More useful gradients, More useful pattern, More useful plugin (tight selection of plugins, only include commonly used and high quality plugins because loading brushset, gradients and plugins takes time).

GIMP must be useful out of the box without further customization by user.

Many of that features has been added to GIMP 2.3 development series and many plugins has been developed to extend GIMP capabilities but that plugins spread all over the net and user must be installed manually to get maximum GIMP experience.

I tried my best to compose that components (GIMP latest version, best plugins, and best resources) to 1 package that can provide out of the box experiences for GIMP.

so I bring to you... GimPhoto.

caution: i'm really sorry about bad grammar all over this site, just because english is not my mother language, i tried my best but...i really bad at english grammar lesson at school :P so if you have tips or tricks to improve my grammar send to ekkians at gmail dot com, i really appreciate it :) Thank you!

"GIMP must be useful out of the box without further customization by user."

I have always thought it was useful out of the box without customization.

Zenith, I work at a college and I think your conversational English is just fine. At least you don't spell "the" as "teh", like so many other Netizens do.

greg,
thank's :) but i feel still need too improve my english, so i can write tutorial in english better and easier to understand.

anonymous,
do you use batch process?
do you use separation?
do you use save for web?
do you create custom brush?
do you use gimp for digital photo retouching and digital imaging?
do you use gimp for doing art job professionally?

what i mean with "useful out of the box" is at professional level.

I think you've done a great job (I'm a web developer/designer so am used to photoshop). Will be adding a link to GimPhoto on my website (as soon as I get round to updating it!).

Thanks for the work you have put into this project, and good luck with future updates.

I know what you mean about your grammar, but I've understood everything I've read .. and that's all that really counts - the ability to communicate!

Wow! At last I found suitable alternative to very expensive PS! Thanks for your mod, GIMP looked awful without it!
