The second paragraph from this article was copied directly from the project's webpage. Clearly, this should be rewritten. Jickler
This distro is nitorious for bugs, we should point this out.--68.126.252.7 02:04, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
These bugs are only in the Windows executables because of the way they were compiled. The base code is nearly the same as Gimp, save some changed text strings. -Tues. Oct. 31 (Scott Moschella)
Regardless, they still exist and should be pointed out. I finally switched to the original GIMP recently due to the plethora of bugs. I was unable to even create a new image due to the bugs, and switching to another window and coming back caused many of the pannels to turn completely grey. This is definately worth noting. --Slavik262 14:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know whether GIMPshop's GUI redevelopment will ever make its way into actual GIMP or will just exist as a separate project? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.231.130.76 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 4 December 2005
The short answers is no. GIMP might adopt a few of the changes incidentally but the developers seem to like things the way they are. My understanding was GIMPShop was hacked up as an experiment in the hope the GIMP would adopt it, rather than with any intention of starting a seperate project. (As far as I know you aren't supposed to use talk pages for these sorts of question though.) Horkana
I think that the page on Scott Moschella should be merged here. Apart from writing GIMPshop, the only real notable thing about Moschella seems to be the fact that he works on Attack of the Show!. This, along with generic bio stuff (birth year, etc) could easily be put into one or two paragraphs in this page. If this goes through, I plan on rewriting the this page, both to expand it and to make it a bit cleaner.
The help files for Gimpshop are not included with the latest install. Does anyone know wehre I can get these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkline (talk • contribs) 22:11, 2007 January 4 (UTC)
His homepage has a (tiny) bio. I also found two interviews with him (G4 interview. OSDir.com interview). Bowmanjj 18:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I changed the link for the Solaris download. The previous link to here led to a page where you had to type "GIMPshop" into the search box, and then that took you to the page where you could download GIMPshop. this link is much more direct ~ Anya Prynn 05:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
What is the official Gimpshop website? gimpshop.com is listed as "website" in the overview? And gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com is listed as the official site. From Gimpshop dot net: "I am not Scott Moschella, creator of GIMPShop, nor have I done anything related to the making of GIMPShop.." What about plasticbugs.com which is Scott Moschellas site about Gimpshop. Is this the offical site? It dosent link to any neither Gimpshop dot net or gimpshop.com. Tl-lomas 19:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
plasticbugs.com is the official site. See this post on GIMPShop dot Net. --Onejaguar 21:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
gimpshop.com is the official site. Plasticbugs.com is Scott Moschella's (developer) personal blog, but gimpshop.com is the official site with downloads in more variations than plasticbugs, forums, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jehnidiah (talk • contribs) 01:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

"Just a fan", "fan-site". Can we get confirmation of that? 71.136.250.106 (talk) 00:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
It would be really nice to see a screenshot of standard gimp and gimpshop side by side to demonstrate the differences if anyone can get them. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.9.152.115 (talk) 09:00, 2007 June 12 (UTC)
Would someone confirm whether or not this version is a legitimate update to GIMPshop? I'm not someone who can read the underlying code, but I'm thinking this isn't even GIMPshop at all. I think this is simply GIMP 2.6.11 for Windows (taken from Sourceforge), but wrapped up in an InstallIQ software that attempts to install extraneous and superfluous programs alongside "GIMPshop" (as noted in the last paragraph of this review).
I can't find any changelog for this "update", nor can I find out any information on who released it. I think this is actually a form of malware that tricks people into thinking this is GIMPshop when it actually isn't. The InstallIQ installer is likely designed to install extra programs for profit/promotion/or other more malicious reasons. Would someone please confirm? Thanks! — Wrathkind (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Well I installed GIMPshop before I read this article. I have antivirus and anti-spybot software and they do not detect a threat. However, I think this is also the program I installed that asked to install 6 different toolbars and such.(I was trying out serveral other programs around the same time) I declined every one of them and it still installed the gimpshop program, hopefully nothing untowards still got installed. I was hoping these issues were resolved and everything was legitimate, but now I'm not so sure. I will be uninstalling GIMPshop and installing the Gimp for Win from sourceforge after I port the work I have already done to make sure I can still access it. Fozforic (talk) 16:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
I will update the status in the article to reflect 'current version' issues but I think GIMPshop is now irrelevant as GIMP for Win has made significant progress in its GUI and GIMPshop is just a name. Someone with greater experience in GNU licensing should review what is being offered by the GIMPshop site. Fozforic (talk) 18:01, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
This article states that the project is on hold. If I consult gimpshop.com (be it the official site or not), I note that it claims to offer gimpshop 2.8 (based on Gimp 2.8). What is actually correct? --Narayan (talk) 21:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Why actually do we keep this as a separate article? As GIMPshop is long dead and misused by someone, I suggest to merge this with the actual GIMP article. --Narayan (talk) 17:51, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Photoshop has been the number One in photo editing for decades. Gimp has always been the alternative that could never push Photoshop from it's throne, despite being free of charge. However, potentially Gimp should be able to knock Photoshop of it's throne. But there are three reason is never has. Those reasons are: "interface", "interface" and "interface". Most people in the industry are used to the Photoshop interface and those who want to get into the industry need to learn the Photoshop interface (By this power alone Adobe has always been able to refuse porting Photoshop to the Linux environment and maintain it's steep pricing). Than one day in 2006 Gimpshop emerged. Scott Moschella created a Gimp version with Photoshop look and feel. It blew us all right out off the water. Downloads of Gimpshop really skyrocketed, thus proving the viability and deer need for a product like this. A product that not only can knock Photoshop off it's throne, but that could get rid off Photoshop alltogether. It was the turning point of a possible total triumph for the free software movement. Using the interface of leading propriatory software opened up new horizons for other free software. However, than some greedy bastard nicked the gimpshop.com url, and used it to make money on Scott's achievement. This frustrated Scott so much that he stopped updating Gimpshop for later Gimp releases. A beautiful flower was broken. You would think the Gimp society would have picked up on this, however it never happened. Million's of people are still waiting for the miracle to happen again. Will it.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.216.11.121 (talk) 14:25, 2015 July 27 (UTC)

Hello,
According to [1], the first version was delivered in March 2005.
According to [2], the latest version (2.2.11) was delivered in December 2011.
It would be great to indicate those dates in the GIMPshop page, as well as Comparison of raster graphics editors. Before doing it, I'd appreciate if some of you could confirm that the dates I found are correct.
Thanks,
