I am a photoshop user who is looking for a free alternative. Gimp is usually the answer. When looking for downloads I stumbled upon 'gimpshop', a gimp distro that is layout for the convenience of photoshoppers.

But is it equally good as Gimp?

  • Peter, welcome to GD. Can you provide more detail about what "good as Gimp" means? Otherwise this question seems unanswerable.

  • Thanks. With "As good as" I mean essentially the same,since it is supposedly the same engine. I didn't know if all feautures are kept and if the release is the same.

Most branches of the GIMP are typically several versions behind the main release. But, yes, it's the same 'core' application under the hood.

  • And my never asked side-wondering, 'are they up to date' is answered too.

GIMPshop is based on GIMP 2.2. GIMP is currently at 2.7.x. It's over than 5 years behind.
