It appears on the surface to be based on some version of GIMP but they seem to have made some substantial changes behind the scenes. It is only for the Mac, has a number of UI tweaks (ie. icon for active tool larger than the other tool icons), uses something called Core Image (their version of a GEGL type library), makes use of a GPU, and they have done a nice job on the manual. Other versions of GIMP for sale are mostly just repackaged or rebranded versions with little (if any) changes. This does not appear to be the case with this version. -- Cheers!

I got mine in a macheist bundle, which cost me something like $50 total and included pixelmator, vector designer (another interesting yet young graphic program) and a bunch of other stuff. Would I pay full price for it? No. I hate to say that because I'm sure the guys that are working on it could sure use the money - but it's just not ready. If I could get a native OS X version of GIMP, I'd pay $60 for it in a heartbeat. --Mike H ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
