Clearlooks GTK engines is use by RedHat and Ubuntu to bring modern professional look to their desktop environment.
I found Clearlooks lib for Windows from GTKRadiant package - Thanks GTKRadiant team! :)

Default GTK engine is look bad under Windows 2000 but bring original Windows look and feel under Windows XP.
Compare screenshot below for Default GTK engine vs Clearlooks:

For GTK Theme, Gimphoto using T-ish theme by Toni Milovan.
T-ish theme bring more professional look and feel for GIMP under Windows.

Gimphoto also include tools to change GTK2 Themes under Windows (made by Tor Lillqvist)
This will bring more excitement to GIMP user because they now can change their GIMP UI themes easily.
More themes can be downloaded from http://www.gnome-look.org and I plan a tutorial about howto change Gimphoto themes.

Gimphoto using GIMP Original Menu Naming Convention.
Gimphoto NOT CHANGE the menu naming convention, Gimphoto only change menu structure.
So this mean that GIMP tutorials is still usable and Photoshop tutorials is also do-able :)

  1. Why not Gimp 2.4?

    ReplyDelete
  2. because when GimPhoto created the latest version is Gimp 2.3.19 and when GimPhoto 1.0 released, Gimp 2.4 still under release candidate (Gimp 2.4 RC1) so not considered as stable released then GimPhoto stick with Gimp 2.3.19 :) next version will using Gimp 2.4...so stay tune!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I have also compiled some GTK theme engines for windows including the latest gtk-theme-engines 2.13 linked with GTK 2.12 and also aurora and murrine theme engines. Just in case if you want to try another theme for the package ;)

  4. Hi!

    great job - Gimp 2.4 is a nice thing but I think we need more user builded "boxes" ready with useful plugins...

    --> The best thing is the GTK theme - GREAT!!! - I don't want that Gimp looks "native" I want Gimp looks good! And the GTK themes are looking good ;-)

    keep on working!

    ReplyDelete
  6. charles,
    thank's :) i will include it with next version of GimPhoto.

    nw42,
    thank's for the support :)

    greg,
    maybe you see it at About page...
    sorry but GimPhoto is based on Gimp so 16 bit still have to wait Gimp implement GEGL :)

  9. Gimp 2.6 is a very much welcome improvement for me with the new selection tool. Update GimPhoto to be based on Gimp 2.6 and I will give it a try

    ReplyDelete
  10. Tremendous job. Is GimPhoto already built for pre-press use?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thanks, but i don't understand with "for pre-press use", if you mean CMYK separation support then the answer is yes, GimPhoto already included Separate+ plugin by default then it can do CMYK separation.

  12. History brush like the one in Photoshop. I use that feature quite a bit when desaturating colored images, then reapplying certain colors.

  13. Hi, is there a possibility to get gimphoto speak german?
    Regards, Juergen

    ReplyDelete
  14. Juergen,
    i never use GIMP with other language so i don't know how the GIMP translation works.

    is the GimPhoto menu back to GIMP original menu layout when language set to German?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Can one add scripts, plug-ins, brushes, patterns, and or other stuff that people have made for the original Gimp.

    ReplyDelete
  16. notwritten07,
    what scripts, brushes, or patterns that you want to be included with next gimphoto version?

    ReplyDelete
  17. What about scripts that could make planets.

    ReplyDelete
  18. notwritten07,
    Thank's for your suggestions, i will consider it.

  19. guys what happen now to the original Gimp like
    the latest version?
    I'm already confuse, They are so many name
    version now in Gimp like Gimpshop which is
    updated too but the original gimp is still
    updated too..
    I wonder which is good to use.
    This Gimpphoto or the original gimp.
    They are not having a competition are they?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Anonymous,
    sorry for much confusions.

    if you like original GIMP then you better go to http://www.gimp.org.

    just like Linux that has many different distro such as Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva, Slackware, etc. Each is tweak toward specific user needs, there is no competition, they are complements each other (even Linus, Linux creator DIDN'T want Linux to be only a single distro, he said more distro is better).

    GimPhoto is created to help users that already using Photoshop at work or at school but can't afford to buy it to be able using it at home. So rather they do piracy for Photoshop then it's better if they use modified GIMP.

    but for new users that never using other image editing software then it's better to use the original GIMP (http://www.gimp.org).

  21. Gimphoto & Gimpad download link doesnt show anything in Google Chrome browser, so I had to open the download page in an alternative browser (Opera, FF).

    ReplyDelete
  22. This is incredible. I am so happy that I found this app. Excellent work. Could you please start a list of compatible Photoshop plugins that will work with this version of GimPhoto?

    Also, is development still active? Will 2.6 be ported anytime soon?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Anonymous,
    it's weird because i also use Chrome browser and i can see GimPhoto and GimPad download link.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Anonymous,
    Thank's for your kind word :)
    Many Photoshop plugins is compatible with GimPhoto using PSPI, but it only for plugin with .8bf extension. The only error i found is on preview window that used by plugin, maybe it will be fix in the next version of PSPI.

    I still actively develop it but daily work and life gives me little free time to working on it.

    for more info about GimPhoto based on GIMP 2.6, read:

  25. Hello, very good job. 2 questions:
    1. where are the liquify filter?
    2. this version run in linux and windows, the same?
    thanks.
    daniel

    ReplyDelete
  26. Daniel,
    Thanks for your kind words :)

    1. GIMP don't have Liquify filter, the similar plugin is called IWarp.
    Access it from Menu > Filters > IWarp

    2. GimPhoto for Linux and Windows is based on same source, all functions is the same but only normal map filter and PSPI (support for Photoshop 8bf plugin) that not available under Linux version.

    ReplyDelete
  27. are the key-commands the same as in Photoshop?

    This is most important for me, cause I use a lot the keyboard commands in photoshop, which do crazy things when I press the same in normal GIMP. Like ctrl+D does not deselect (Photoshop), but duplicate the image (gimp).

    is this changed, too?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Anonymous,
    yes, the shortcuts also changed to use similar keys like Photoshop, for complete lists of keys that used, check this link:

  31. Which is better? (as in easier to use?)Gimp or Gimpshop. I already have Gimp but I don't think I really understand the icons and such. I don't use photoshop much but I think I understand that better because I've been using a site called Aviary which is pretty good but my internet is slow which makes it bothersome. Also, does Gimp/Gimpshop have the eraser tool? The one which erases to make it transparent? I think I like it better when you can start with a canvas which is transparent but I don't know how to do that. Also, which app runs smoother? Gimp or Gimpshop? my computer (windows XP) jams easily and I hate it for that but I can't do anything about it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Pauline,
    maybe you can try GimPhoto :) GimPhoto is using newer version of GIMP than Gimpshop (GimPhoto and Gimpshop is different program).

    GimPhoto have eraser tool to make transparent background.

    GimPhoto runs very smooth on Windows XP even when using older hardware because it have lower hardware requirements than GIMP or Gimpshop.

  40. I am use to a PhotoshopElements command of Control+G (to group one layer to another) and then I would use Control E to merged the grouped layers. What would the correct commands be in Gimphoto please. BIG THANKS (love Gimphoto...lot easier than GIMP).

    Leslie

    ReplyDelete
  41. Leslie,
    i'm sorry but Gimphoto still based on GIMP 2.4 that not have Layer Group function.

    maybe we still need to wait until next version GIMP 2.8 release that support Layer Group function.

  52. Might already be a feature: but is there a "healing brush" tool (where another part of the image may be used as the source for a brush - very helpful for editing out objects).

    ReplyDelete
  53. KurtyKool,
    there is healing brush like tool at Gimphoto, klik yellow patch icon at ToolBox, or follow this video tutorial :)
