GIMPshop 2.2.8 for Windows released
Please note: A lot of problems are being reported with this release of GIMPshop. I'm still working on a new compilation - so stay tuned. If you get error messages regarding libraries you can try and check if this libraries are already present in a directory in the PATH (i.e. c:\windows\system32). If they are it might be that you have an outdated version of GTK installed.
A while ago Scott Moschella released a new version of his GIMP hack called GIMPshop. I didn't have the time to immediately put a windows version out. In fact I was without internet and didn't even notice there was new sourcecode available
The last time I released GIMPshop for Windows there was quite a rush on it and my server suffered alot of traffic. So I won't put it on my server but instead use something like uploadtemple.com until some people hopefully offer some webspace for mirroring the setup file.
The installer includes a recent GTK (which should make GIMPshop work in Win98), the GTK WIMP Windows theme and the GIMP Deweirdifier plugin to make GIMPshop a single window application which usually is more comfortable in windows.
Get it here: gimpshop_2.2.8_fix1_setup.exe (just 7.35 MB)
Mirror 1 (at google)
Mirror 2 (danke Timon!)
The apparently broken version is still here: gimpshop_2.2.8_setup.exe (just 7.35 MB)
Mirror 1 (at plasticbugs.com, thx Scott)
Get the source at plasticbugs.com
Cheers
Matthias
Matthias, a few problems when I tried to use your version. Both your shortcuts to the GIMPshop try and run GIMPshop in 'C:\Program Files\GIMPshop' when it should be running it in 'C:\Program Files\GIMPshop\bin'. When it runs in just the GIMPshop folder it says that it cannot find both 'libgimpui-2.0-0.dll' and 'libgimp-2.0-0.dll' and a few components fail to start.
After this occurs anything I attempt to do in GIMPshop like open a picture or create a new one causes it to crash.
The uninstaller also leaves behind a few folders as well as some links in the Start Menu. Thought you might like to know.
Hi John,
thanks for pointing this out. I didn't notice since it worked perfectly on my computer. Anyway.. I fixed the problem and uploaded the new installer.
Hi Dakira
Thanks a lot for the new release.I was waiting for this anxiously.
But the new installer is in a bad link.
Mirror 1: gimpshop2.2.8setup.exe (at sharebigfile.com)
Invalid ID
There is no file with this ID.
I know. uploadtemple somehow doesn't accept anymore files from me and the other service I tried removed the file (maybe because of too many downloads). If you know anything better please tell me. I'm currently trying other services. I hope to get the download back up in a couple of minutes.
It's okey now.
Thank you
try divshare
too good to share files.
Hi Dakira
GIMPshop 2.2.8 for Windows installed but:
can't open my images from disk:C (no such file or directory), only open images from disk:D
hi akis,
I'm sorry, but I can neither reproduce this behavior nor do I know why this happens. This is beyond me. Which OS are you using? have you tried to get the regular GIMP working and if yes - can you open the images on you C: drive with it?
Hi Dakira
I'm using winxp sp2.
The GIMPshop 2.2.4 for Windows (The GimpShop for windows 0.1 beta)was working perfecktly.
I uninstalled the 2.2.4 and installed the 2.2.8. With this i can't open my images from disk:C.
After that i uninstalled the 2.2.8 and installed the 2.2.4 and again is working perfectly.
Only with 2.2.8 i have the problem.
In addition, i was installed the 2.2.8 several times and after some uninstallations i was running too a registry cleaner.
GimpShop 2.2.4 worked just fine with the exception of an annoying "stuck" surprise save dialog sometimes, and being unable to save own paramteric brushes. I uninstalled 2.2.4 and installed 2.2.8.
Major: It will always crash when I leave preferences and it died quite a few times doing other operations as well.
Minor: The toolbar can't be resized to a PS-style two column width anymore, and the position of the dock isn't saved.
Using Winxp sp2, and returning to 2.2.4 for now (won't hesitate to try out new versions though).
Thanks alot for your feedback. i'm not sure if this is a problem with the new version of gimpshop in general or just with my windows version. I will look into it. In the mean time I advise you to get the latest deweirdifier (3.0alpha) and put it in your old version of gimpshop since the new version has alot of improvements.
you can get it here:
http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892
Hi Dakira
I tried to uninstall the old version GIMPshop0.1beta and installed the new one gimpshop2.2.8. The application just crashes the moment I try to save or cancel my preference settings (Ctrl+K). But it works flawlessly if I do not set any preference and choose individual preference on a new file. It’s a bit weird though.
I’m back to 2.2.4 now
Hi Dakira,
Just an update, the background plugin BackgroundWindow-3.0alpha doesn't help much. The crash still happens randomly but I could save my preference now:-)
finally a version where the program actually runs!, but whenever i try to create a new page, as soon as the new document appears, the whole 'program has performed an illegal operation' window appears, here is the details:
IMP-2 caused an invalid page fault in

Hi. I'm running XP Pro SP2 w/all the latest patches. I DL'ed and installed gimpshop2.2.8fix1 and everything worked fine until I tried to create a new file, whereupon it crashed. IOW, I'm having the same problem you're having.
I sent the error report and MS reports that their analysis says it's a problem with the GIMP. In the meantime, I have resorted to installing the latest version of WinGIMP as I need to get some work done.
rant
I honestly don't get the GIMP developers. While I'm okay with the fact that they think it's better to open a bazillion windows, I'm not okay with the fact that they don't care about the thousands of users who want just one window. Supposedly open source is all about choice, but the elitist hypocrites who develop the GIMP don't want to give us the ability to choose how many windows it uses because their way is better.
Thank goodness there are projects like PhotoGIMP that give us the GIMP in a more usable setup. You'd think the GIMP developers would take a look at the popularity of this modification and get a clue.
/rant
Anyway, thanks for this project. If there's anything I can do to help fix the new file bug, please let me know. In the meantime I'll live with the "superior" UI in regular GIMP. SIGH
Wow, why don't you bitch a little bit more about something that you didn't even have to pay a dime for.
I've just installed GIMPshop for my PC, and while I'm impressed, I'm having problems running it. It keeps crashing, and I have different windows opening up blank, such as the Open File and Levels windows. They come up and I can't close them. Is this a problem?
Hi Dakira
The latest deweirdifier (3.0alpha) is not good. I put it in my 2.2.4 version of gimpshop and was imposible to have stable windows (tools). Every time that i open gimpshop, change the toolbars and the position of the docks aren't saved.
I think that the major problem with 2.2.8 is the new deweirdifier if it uses the 3.0alpha.
I put again the old deweirdifier in 2.2.4 and everything is ok.
I have winXP sp2
cool! Thx for the comment. I will put out a version with the old deweirdifier at once!
okay.. I switched back to the old deweirdifier and posted a download link.. if it works I will tell the mirrors to update to the new version..
Hi Dakira
New fix 2.2.8 (with the old deweirdifier)
1.The position of the docks are stable now.
2.But...the same problem again.I can't open my images from disk:C (no such file or directory), only open images from disk:D
I have winXP sp2
hey,
I have some time on my hands now and here's what I'm gonna do:
I heard it was a bad idea using cygwin to compile gimp for windows, so I will use mingw now and also get the latest available gtk libraries for the compilation. If this doesn't work I don't know what else to do ;)
Hi, I would like to translate Gimpshop to my home language, the Portuguese . If it´s possible what have I to do?
thanks,
Carlos Baptista
Portugal
As Scott, the original creator of GIMPshop put it: he has "not done the hack right". What I mean: If he had done it right there would be no need to have a seperate GIMPshop package. You could use The GIMP and just use the menu-structure .xml files and choose "Phototoshop_en" as you language. Anyhow, he did not implement the GIMP -> Photoshop 'translations' as a language file but directly put the translations into the source (which is not a good thing to do and the reason why GIMPshop is called a 'hack' instead of i.e. an addon to the GIMP). So if you wanted to translate GIMPshop you'd have to get the source and open all the files containing the english program text and translate them. If I were you I'd wait for Scott to 'do it right' which he told me in an email he will do when he has the time for it.
The new version seems to work much better - thanks! (I'm using WinXP).
Two observations:
1) GIMPshop generates a "memory could not be read" exception when exiting.
2) The help files do not seem to be included in the installation. Was that intentional?
HTH - cheers,
Gregg
Hi,
downloaded latest version of Gimpshop. Starting under Windows XP SP2 crashed because "didn't find libgimp-2.0..dll" or libgimpui.dll's ...

Hi,
okay, sorry, didn't see the "fixed setup" .. now installs and starts without problems.
BUT - creating new Image - CRASH. And the standard GIMP Surface appears in front. The "One-Window" GUI does nothing than appearing in background ..

Hi,
yes, I'm always working with Admin-rights ;-) (I tried working with different user rights but it's the hell with Windows XP - but this is going Off-Topic ;-)
Greetz

Thanks for making this! I love Gimpshop but the last release keeps crashing, heres to hoping that this one is less crash prone!
Crashes upon creation of a new file:
Gimpshop-2-2 encountered an error yada yada yada.
Should I uninstall the old version first? Hmm...
You should definately uninstall the old version first. Anyway.. this release seems to have alot of bad issues and I'm still working on a new build environment to recompile it with better versions of gcc and gtk libraries.. so far no success.. but rest assured I'm working on it..
I am getting this error: http://img398.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error7lh.png
I am getting a series of these error messages: as soon as I click OK a new one appears, but with a different .exe in the title. Any suggestions?
The only thing I can think of is that you downloaded the old version. You have to get gimpshop.2.2.8fix1setup.exe and it HAS to be installed as a user with admin-rights.
Thank you so much for doing this. I have been waiting for ages for this to happen. Your beta works fine with my window xp sp2 (even without admin rights).
The problem with gimp for windows I had ever since version 2+ was that I can't install the gtk without admin rights, so I was stuck with 1+. Finally someone hacked it so well that I don't need to separately install gtk before gimp 2 works.
once again, can't express my gratitude enough.
I just got GIMP. Anyway, you know its Halloween. Thanks for reading!
-A.P.W.B.D
I would be very pleased when I could download the helpfiles for GIMPshop 2.2.8 somewhere. Is that possible?
We would like to use GimpShop here at our school (50 PCs with GimpShop instead of Photoshop saves us alot of money), but it's not really working on our systems :-(
Some specs:
Windows 2000 (SP4) machines, i'm logged in as administrator. I install GTK+ 2.6.9, Gimp 2.2.9 and after that GimpShop 2.2.8.
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5295/gimpshop0en.png
This IS NOT Photoshop. It is GIMPshop. It is supposed to make live easier for Photoshop users trying to use GIMP. Please have a look at the original GIMPshop site (linked in the article) to see what GIMPshop is about, before you post here. You get the Photoshop menu-layout in the menu of new (or open) images - NOT in the GIMP menu.
hi gizz,
You don't need to install GTK and Gimp. You only need GIMPshop. Anyway.. I would not recommend using GIMPshop in a productive environment, yet. At least not the version on my site. I am still working on building a version of GIMPshop (for Windows) which will work in all Windows' and without admin privs. Use GIMP in the meantime or buy cheap Photoshop 6 licenses from ebay.
I have exactly the same problem as gilly (see post #14). I used both the _fix1 and the old version, same for both. It seems to be that the plugins can't be registered properly. After going through all the error messages (160 that is...) gimps starts and the photoshop menu seems to work. but the layout of the toolbars is not right and they can't be hidden/shown with TAB (an important feature for me...) does this work in the "normal" gimpshop version ?
hey GG,
this version doesn't seem for alot of people and I am working on a new one..
Hi dakira,
i found the reason for the above mentioned error with the iconv.dll: there was another one (in C:\windows) which obviously was used instead of the real one (under ...\Gimpshop\bin) due to the environment PATH variable searching behaviour of windows. After renaming the other one, GIMP starts fine. I have yet to see which program gets angry about the renamed iconv.dll... ;-),googling about it was not very conclusive.
Hmm.. afaik iconv.dll is a file from the GTK. So it could belong to a previous GTK installation..
Just wondering what problems installing this will cause if I already have GTK installed? It comes with OpenOffice.org by default and I'm afraid to remove that version and install the version that comes with Gimp because it might mess up OpenOffice.
Can you change the installer in the future so the user can choose not to install GTK?
Er.. what operation system are you talking about? GTK does not come with OOo for Win as far as I know. Nonetheless: The installer only puts its files inside the GIMPshop directory tree and nowhere else...
WIndows XP installation problem
I've a problem installing gimpshop both on the base of GIMP 2.2.4 and GIMP 2.2.8.
When I click in GIMPSHOP icon, I obtain the GIMP screen. Not the "photoshop-like" interface.
Where am I making mistakes?
Thank
Stefano
Go and have a look at scotts page to find out what gimpshop is about.
I had a look to plastibugs.com but i found no special issue about my problem...
I asked also there..
Maybe I miss reading some how-to file.
I think the problem is what you expect from gimpshop. It does not exactly look like Photoshop. You only get the menustructure when you open an image and look at the image menu.
My anti-virus program says this file has a virus:
gimpshop2.2.8fix1_setup.exe (just 7.35 MB)
Mirror 1 (at sf.net)
It says it was infected with the "W32/Istbar.VT" virus.
Ouch. I will get into that asap! This file is directly from me and as I don't have a virus on my computer the only possibility I see, is that someone modified it. Anyway.. gotta go to a concert now.. I'll check this out as soon as I get back. Thanks for the nfo!
I decided to try downloading "gimpshop2.2.8setup.exe". My anti virus program said it found the same virus.
@George
I downloaded all files from all mirrors and none of them had a virus. Is it possible your computer is infected and infects all incoming files?
It would be nice if you told me which antivirus you are using and not post anonymously so that I can get back to you. No Antivirus Software I tried found a virus in any of the files.
I am sorry I took so long to get back to you. I have just downloaded the following 2 files today and no viruses were found on a scan.
gimpshop2.2.8fix1setup.exe
gimpshop2.2.8_setup.exe
I am using CommandAntiVirus. Their parent company goes by the name Authentium. I sent them an e-mail asking if these files were producing a false positive. They never sent me a reply. But anyway, I am no longer getting these files being flagged as having a virus. Either the Antivirus folks fixed their end or you fixed your end.
What is the purpose of the "fix1" file?
George
Hi George,
thx for replying. The files haven't been changed, so I guess it was an error with the anti-virus software you used.
The fix1 corrects an installer bug as mentioned in the very first comment by 'John'. I only left the old installer there as I wasn't sure if it works for everyone. I think I can remove the old installer now, though.
error message: enter point of gdiropenutf8 is not found in libglib-2.0-0.dll
when the install folder is not c:/program file...
gimpshop2.2.8fix1setup.exe source version
tnx for a new fix,
good luck to all coder.
Halo,
I'm new to the Gimpshop 2.2.8 for WIN program. i have installed and run succesfully the 2.2.8 version. I have Win98 OS. I have noticed that the program lack the CMYK mode, how can I solv this?
Another problem is that it doen't open files with eps extension (those files was created by Photoshop and also can not open files with the pdf extension.
can anybody help me with this problems?
thnx and keep dooing good job
hi i've been trying to download this but each time it completes i get a corrupt file.. have tried downloading multiple times now, so trying the 'unfixed' version now to see if i have anymore luck
I just downloaded it and it works. Don't know why you can't get it.
tried to install Gimp but get error message-Runtime Error
Progrm C:/programfiles/Gimpshop.
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more information.
joanne
Instead of asking you to fix things or bugging you with bugs, I'm only gonna say that this works like a charm for me! :-) Great job dakira, keep it up!
it almost works here: it can only open files in My Documents, but not elsewhere. Running 2.2.8-fix1, and windows server 2003 sp1.
GIMPshop 2.2.4 won't even load for me. I click the icon, and I get a critical error before the program even completely starts
2.2.8 crashes for any random reason...
I installed it and ran the app to get the photoshop shortcuts, but I have none of the usual options running along the top of the screen... i.e. under the file tab at the top of the screen I only have the option exit... no open file option even available. I remved the program and reinstalled and get the same thing.
Kevin, in the future don't blindly install software. Check what it is meant to do first. In this case I advise you to check out Scott Moschellas GIMPshop page. As mentioned in the article HE is the creator of GIMPshop.
I'm having the same problem with #12 and #13, creating a new image results in a crash. I can open images though.
WINXP+SP2
Tried the 2.2.8 and the 0.1 beta
Previously had GTK+ 2.6.9 and Gimp 2.2.8 installed. Removed them, though didn't help.
folders with japanese (maybe any non standard ascii) in them (and subfolders) wont open (after browsing to it it sais folder does not exist) erase the japanese in the parent folder and it opens. please fix this. sorry no coding ability here
How do I install a "HELP" menu. It is not installed, so I can't read how to use "Gimp" 2.2.8.... PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks, Kelly
Hi. I've never used GIMP or GIMPshop before, though I have used PhotoShop in the past. I just installed GIMPshop 2.8.8 on my computer.
It seems like most of the features are missing or disabled. How do I get things like the Filters or brush opacity to work? Do I have to download and install those separately? I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
Lol, nevermind. I forgot to convert from indexed color to RGB. I guess its been a while since I used PhotoShop ><
Anyways, this program rocks. I can't believe it's free.
I would like to say a big thank you for this one...like most I am familiar with Photoshop and this tool makes life a whole load easier.
I too have experienced problems when trying to create a new image.
[B]A workaround for this one is to open any image on your computer first...then the next time you go to open a brand new image the program should not crash.[/B]
I have GIMP 2.2.8 GTK 2.8.9 and GIMPSHOP 2.2.8fix1.
Is there a plan to change the images and all of the shortcut keys at all? I noticed that some of the shortcut keys in GIMP r similar to those found in photoshop...e.g. select all, rectangular marquee. It would be nice to see all of them the same do you not think guys?
Thanks for the workaround. I'll have to give it a try and report back (if I can remember to do so).
GIMPshop only works with admin-rights for me. Working as a "normal" user shows several GIMP-windows in the taskbar and it's not possible to close GIMPshop without getting a crash?
Am I missing something? I installed GIMPshop for Windows, but when it runs, it looks just like regular GIMP. The only difference is that it runs in a single window and the splash screen says GIMPshop. The tool boxes and other windows are just like regular GIMP.
probably you ARE missing something. Please read this article completely and don't just download the software. If you had read it you knew that I am not the creator of GIMPshop. That is Scott Moschella at plasticbugs.com. Have a look at his site for details about GIMPshop and the changes he did.
From what I can see Skippy the icons are the same but their names have changed and if you look at the tool bar you will see it is the same as photoshop .i.e. file, edit, image, layer,select,filter, etc
Hi there,
Nice work.
One idea, why not give your GIMPShop for Windows builds their own STATIC url?. That way we could find always the latest builds without having to check your blog and search inside it.
Well, just an idea. You could simply create a Gimpshop-win.sourceforge.net project and use the sourceforge infrastructure.
Whatd´ya think?
Best
fernando
Hi, thanks for the input. I was going to set something like that up anyway. I'm too busy atm. A sourceforge project wouldn't be good. There are no real source modifications. There is already the GIMP source, which is only patched. And just for distributing files it would be a waste to create a sf.net project. I guess I'll set up a subdomain or an own domain.
I'm moving servers anyway these days, so that's be a good time to set something up.
Cheers
dakira
A subdomain on your own domain is OK, but a sourceforge project is better. Why? Simply because EVEN if someday your domain goes down, a sourceforge.net project will keep running "forever".
I used to think like you, that hosting everything on my own domain was better. Now I keep my email on Gmail, my blog on blogger.com. WHY? Well, it's simply much less work for me, and someone else is taking care of the infrastructure of keeping my email/blog/etc functioning.
THink about it. Even if no source code is involved, by uploading your binaries to sourceforge.net you're immediatelly making such files available on all SF mirrors worldwide, contributing to faster downloads to people all around the World.
FC
Hi,
I'm not hosting any files on my domain because I couldn't afford the traffic ;)
Regarding sf.net: A project like that is against sf.net policies and would be removed if discovered by their admins. And it would also be a waste of time since this is what's going to happen:
The GIMP to Photoshop "translations" are going to be supplied in seperate language files. Right now they are "hacked" directly into the source code. This way GIMPshop will be translatable to other languages and won't stay english-only. The only thing remaining is the xml-files for the menu structure, which are already there and not bound to the source.
So what you are most likely going to see is a sf.net projekt having the xml and language files and precompiled binaries using the current GIMP source for mac, win and linux. This is the only way I see to approach this and it is just a matter of (Scotts) time to get it accomplished. If it is done this way it would only be a matter of compile-time to put out a new GIMPshop for all platforms every time a new GIMP gets released.
There are already several projects hosting the "GIMPshop source", which is just stupid because its just a modified copy of the GIMP source and would have to be changed by hand for every new GIMP release.
So what is there to do:
- wait until Scott incorporates his changes into seperate language files (IIRC he promised to do that as soon as he's got more time on his hands)
- create automated build scripts for all platforms (we could even make use of sf.net's cross-plattform compilefarms for the releases then, too bad there's no intel-mac compile farm yet)
- host the stuff on sf.net
- merely push the button on every new GIMP release that comes around
Every other approach (in my opinion) would just be as inefficient as the way scott hacked GIMP in the first place.
Since all people involved in GIMPshop (99% Scott) have a very limited amount of spare time, this will take some time but sooner or later it IS gonna happen this way.
Cheers
dakira
Guten Tag!
The file -> exit menu item at the upper left corner of the main window doesn't work. The other menu options work. The file -> exit menu in the vertical toolbar works too.
Auf Wiedersehen
I forgot to mention that I am running Windows XP SP 2 and GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment version 2.8.9.
At the moment, pskeys.bat assumes your home directory is on the system drive (C:).
I find that this modification makes it work for me, with my home directory on D:
copy etc\gimp\2.0\menurc "%USERPROFILE%".gimp-2.2
Hi,
thanks alot.. I'm gonna use this soon. A couple of days ago scott released a new version of gimpshop and i'm making a new build environment right now to put out a windows release asap..
stay tuned
Hi Dakira!
Thanks a lot for your efforts in bringing gimpshot's latest release ported to windows.
I'm looking forward your binaries..
Please keep us informed on your progress..
Best regards,
Riccardo
I know, I know! I'm still working on it. I'm just having problems getting this damn thing compiled on my new computer..
I hope that you release a functional version!!!!
I cant install this version... When I try to use happens it:
"GLib-GObject-WARNING (recused). value-100**of type gint' is invalid or out of range for propertygtk-menu-popup-delay' of type `gint'"
What means it???????
Mine doesn't even run in single window. =( Is there something you have to do other than check "single window" during install?
Also, GIMP BackgroundWindow doesn't go away when I close Gimpshop. Each additional run of Gimpshop creates another one that also doesn't go away. =(
Hi!
I installed the WIndows version (http://care2x-plugins.sourceforge.net/gimpshop2.2.8fix1_setup.exe) on my XP SP2 system but only got the normal GIMP... How come?
I had the libgimpgui etc. missing errors. I added C:\Program Files\GIMPshop-2.2.8\lib to my PATH variable. Now it works.
-Adam
Just out of interest, is this project entirely Open Source or Free Software? If so, then you could setup a Sourceforge Project for it, which would stop you having issues with hosting it.
All it needs is a Sourceforge Account.
Rgds,
Jon "The Nice Guy"
Hi,
thanks for the input. I'm not going to setup a sf.net project for reasons I described in this thread:
http://blog.yumdap.net/archives/43-GIMPshop-2.2.8-for-Windows-released.html#c692
Dakira,
I was just wondering if you planned on doing a new version based on Scott's 2.2.10 port.
It would be so cool if you did.
Thanks!
Oh yes, I am really looking forward to the new version based on 2.2.10 too, if you are planning to make it.
Also thanks for your 2.2.8 version. It works great on my computer without any problems. Looking forward to 2.2.10 if you're planning on releasing it!
I am using WinXP SP2 Chinese version. I have the following error message:

Too Many Windows
When I open a file, the "open" window goes away. But if I switch over to, say, Firefox and then switch back to GIMPshop the "open" window is filled with grey but on top of all my other windows. I can't close it, either by clicking the "x" in the upper right or by right clicking and selecting "close."
In the "Window" menu on the main background program menu, all of the dialog boxes that have popped up for the session are listed, including "open," in addition to my toolbars and main image window.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I make these go away?
Thanks!
Hm, i think that software is very cool, but it dont works on my WinXP Prof SP2, when i start, a window appears: "Unable to open a test swap File. To avoid data loss please check the location and the permissions of the swap directory defined in your preferences (currently"${gimp_dir}"). "
That's my problem so far...
And I'm waiting for the 2.2.10 Release - do you think it's comming next Week or so on?
so far...
I am a Wikipedian working to improve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonofbitmapgraphicseditors. Who created GIMPshop? When was its first public release date? Does it have a histogram feature? Thank you for your assistance.
GimpShop neither works for me: It is unable to create a directory under documents and settings and my personal folder. I guess it's an issue with special charachters in the filename " .gimp2_2'" that Windows doesn't allow. I have administrator rights when I run the installation. Any suggestions to what I shall do to so things work nice and easy?
I'm having the same problem with #12 and #13 and #36, creating a new image results in a crash. I can open images though.
WINXP+SP2
Heya,
I installed this newer version of GIMPshop on my laptop and it works perfectly, but I installed it on my desktop and whenever i try to create a new canvas, I get a Microsoft Error message telling me Windows has encountered an error and must close.
any ideas?
I've got GIMPshop 2.28fix1_ on a Notebook (WinXP Home SP2). I get the same error on creating a new canvas. You can work around this by first opening any random image and creating a new canvas only after that. Then you can close the opened image. Also when opening an image, an empty "open image" window will constantly be in the background.
cheers, g0d0
Btw, anyone knows about how to compile the latest sources in a Dev-Cpp project?
Might be the build-environment I used. Have you tried whether it works with the regular GIMP? Maybe replacing the GTK libraries with newer ones helps?
Hi, I can't load Gimp Shop 2.2.8 in windows (xp pro) - it fails to respond always while searching through fonts.. is there a limit to how many fonts you can have? I have quite a few (over 10,000)..
help plz?
I'm using WinXP sp2. The GIMPshop 2.2.4 for Windows (The GimpShop for windows 0.1 beta) won't open correctly when the icon is clicked. I get a red X message saying: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive". After clicking "continue" several times, the program will open but the message pops up again. After clicking "continue" several more times the program opens.
Question 1: Is there something wrong with my PC or is it a problem within the program causing this to happen?
Question 2: Where is the help file?
I can't figure out out to use the program. I've never used PhotoShop so I'm really new to this. I don't usually have this much trouble figuring out how to use programs but now, I really feel dumb.
Every time I try to open the gimpshop when its uploading it says Error when it gets to Fonts, every single time, Ive downloaded gimpshop like a million times and it does this. I have Windows XP. Does anyone know how I can fix this????
Have you found an answer to this? I experience the same.
Every time I open GIMPshop 2.2.8 it automatically starts the setup for Ghostscript, even though I already have that installed. I can just cancel the setup and everything seems to work fine, but I don't know why it keeps prompting me to do this. Any ideas please?
Try to set the environment variable GS_PROG to the full path to gs.exe.
I set the GS_PROG environment variable to c:\program files\gs\gs854\bin, which is where the gswin854c.exe is located. However, when I loaded GIMPshop, it still prompted me with the setup for Ghostscript. Any other ideas?
Nope.. wait for the next release ;) I'm still on it.. I just don't get this damn thing compiled currently.. I'll let the world know, when its ready..
I seem to be having the same issue as quite a few people; GIMPShop 2.2.8fix1 crashes when I try to create a new canvas (I can open files fine). I've tried the work around of opening a file THEN creating a new canvas but it still crashes; any ideas?
Using Windows XP SP2
PS I'm not too sure about what I need to install; just the GIMPShop2.2.8_fix1 or do I need the GTK+ too?
I have mad crashing issues too. For some reason it got to the point where when I just opened the program it crashed immediatly. I'm running WinXP x64 sp1.
Installed 2.2.8_fix1 on a Win2K sp4 laptop, and so far so good: works great, very cool! However, it seems that no help files were installed. Can anyone address this problem? I did see a couple of earlier posts that mention the same absence of help files, but replies to those posts didn't address this problem.
hey dakira, just wondering!...
been unnable to download the newer versions, both servers seems to dont work...
any idea whats causing this?
btw, so far no problems with the "non fixed" version
Why nobody answers these questions about help files? I have the same prob. When i try to open the help files by pressing F1 or open them any other way, it pops up this message:
GIMP Message
help.exe Message
Could not open 'C:\Program Files\GIMPshop\share\gimp\2.0\help\en\gimp-help.xml' for reading: No such file or directory
Please check your installation.
Does anybody know anything about this or are u guyz just lazy?? :D
Id be happy to know how to solve this...
Hi.. I am not lazy, I just have no time for this thing and I'm kind of stuck compiling the latest GIMPshop for Windows. In the new version I planned to include helpfiles (from the GIMP for win project).. but I just can't get it compiled..
If you want helpfiles just go to the gimp for win page and download them (they are available as a seperate download)
I have GIMPshop 2.2.8 for Windows installed and went to the Gimp for Win page and downloaded the GIMP-help-2-0.11-setup and tried to install. The result yielded the following message "Gimp 2.0 installation could not be read from the Registry. Please install Gimp 2.0.0 or later first." Trouble is I can't find Gimp 2.0.0 to follow the instructions. Any suggestions??? Also, anyone know if GIMPshop can use Photoshop plugins and, if so, how to install them. I'm trying to install an "eliminate white" file which has a Photoshop 8bf extension.
Hi there!
would really like to try GIMPShop, but the archive is not 7-zip compatible - which is quite a shame.
cheers
Just tried the new fix1 version of 2.28 and, I'm not sure if this has been reported yet but it seems a bit odd...
I couldn't close the program. Clicking either the 'Close' button or 'Exit' in the menu did nothing. Tried several times, and nothing happened. No messages. No sounds. Nothing. Eventually I had to kill the process to quit.
So yeah,...that's my experience with GIMPshop. Fun stuff.
Maybe there's a fix. Maybe it's a bug. But there's definitely something wrong. It was a fresh install. No previous version installed before it. Everything installed smoothly, opened quickly but the exit was less than spectacular.
Do you know when it will be compatible with windows vista, right now when I install it and go to start a new project it crashes.
Most likely never. Whatever your reasons for using Vista (this early) are: I don't know a single developer who is willing to upgrade from XP to Vista, so I have no possibility to test it there. I am currently not working on GIMPshop, but what you might hope for is that the next version will just run there. Sorry pal.
I just downloaded and installed GimpShop2.2.8-fix on Windows XP. When I open an image, it opens. However, upon creating a new image with File..New, it crashes immediately after opening the new image window.
If there is a solution (I notice this issue has been around since 2005 on these comments), I'd love to hear of it.
I appreciate the program, as I'd love to be able to follow along with Photoshop tutorials on the web without having to use a costly program.
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic.php?t=3619&start=1
seems to contain the fix I was looking for at the end of the message.
Im also crashing while starting a new window or opening a old project. It used to work fine but now the debug says something is wrong with libglib-2.0.0
thanks dakira....
got a question for you: is there a switch for silent install?
Thanks,
Peter
when i try to open the zip folder winrar gives me this error mesage: ! C:\Documents and Settings\Bryan\Desktop\gimpshop2.2.8fix1_setup.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

Works okay, But there is no default cursor (the arrow type) - I assume becuz this is a beta. Defintely needs one though so as to move layers around more easily etc.
This as far as I have got. I use Photoshop 5 ('cuz I only do basic web work) and it would be nice that when a paste is done, it arrived in a new layer (rather than having to create the layer first). This is a more efficient method in the middle of a large and already time consuming project.
I haven't tried importing files yet. The main one needed is the importation of .EPS files from Illustrator or Freehand. Photoshop gives options of scalability and a transparent background when importing EPS's. This is a crucial item, used often, in the design process and would give your software a real edge, as no other "similar to Photoshop" program can do this (that I've found) -- that oughta keep you busy for a month or two :-).
I use mainly Windows, but have recently installed Ubuntu on a secondary drive (pity it wouldn't go on a flash stick) on my IBM T41 laptop. I only have Linux in case a client has it so I can translate their files to text and move them to Windows, so will not be seeing how it works on Linux.
I will continue to play around with this. I did try the original GIMP, took one look, laughed hilariouly and uninstalled it. This is better, well done.
Hi..
thx for the review. You should note, though.. that this will not be updated too soon. I'm not the original author (as stated in the article). I just compiled and packaged this for Windows. The 2.4 release of GIMP is very promising and all the work done at the UI-front will make GIMPshop obsolete.
GIMPshop is just some kind of a hack and not a real program on its own. Scott (the original author) just replaced the strings in the source to rename functions to their Photoshop equivalent and changed the XML-files with the menu structures.. thats it.
It is a hack because the right way would have been to create a language file (and not hack the source directly).. that would make carrying GIMPshop to new releases of GIMP much easier. I don't have the time to do this and appears the interest in GIMPshop is not big enough to get other people doing it "right".
Anyway.. I think you should not be using Win98 at all (for security reasons) but if you must.. check out the GIMP support pages on running GIMP in Win98.. Almost everything you can read there applies to GIMPshop as well..
Also looking for Vista compatibility here. I don't like Vista and do not run it personally, but we are testing it at work, and Gimpshop is one of the applications we run. Great program, and thanks!
finally got it to work with VISTA.
Just install Gimp 2.6.1. Copy the files libglib-2.0-0.dll, libgmodule-2.0-0.dll and libgobject-2.0-0.dll from the bin folder into a new folder.
Then uninstall your Gimp 2.6.1.
Next, install Gimpshop and copy the 3 files to the gimpshop/bin folder.
Using Windows Vista, I installed gimpshop 2.2.8.
The move tool seems to come on when I use the select tool, either from the toolbar or the menu, so I can't select anything, only move it.
This happened after I selected an image using the rectangular select and cropped it. Thereafter, all select tools appear as the move tool.
Acaba de salir a la calle la nueva versión del programade retoque fotográfico y multiplataforma The GIMP, el cual arregla una serie de fallos que arrastraba desde que iniciaron la serie 2.2. Ya lo tenemos para su libre descarga en algunos de los espejos de Sourceforge. A su vez, a mediados de este mes de Octubre se actualizó Gimpshop para Windows, que es el propio programa the GIMP pero adoptando el entorno de trabajo del conocido programa de edición y...
