I wondered how long it would take. Although, I thought their reason for existing was a bit too pretentious. I did like the preference made by a poster, in the comment section, to rename GIMP to Professional Image Manipulation Program. That was a genius suggestion.

Wouldl personally lean towards GINP: GINP Is Not Photoshop.

Oh what was that other GIMP fork that actually supported high bit edits well before GIMP finally did; was geared to movie producers as I recall. Still, plain ol' the GIMP is good enough for me (so long as I can still run G'MIC).

OK; a bit of search tweaking and I found Cinepaint (Film GIMP). Of course there was also GIMPShop. lolololol

Not sure about Cinepaint; don't even see a need for it now that GIMP can handle high definition bits. As for GIMPShop, some other sites I frequent bring it up once in a while, but for all practical purposes, GIMPShop's pretty dead, too.

That seems pretty funny me Lyle, thanks for the chuckle.
Just go and download GIMP instead.

I don't want to get political here but I am upset that Glimpse got so much attention for doing nothing. All the mainstream Linux news journals were covering Glimpse. I wish I got one tenth the attention they got. I think they paid advertisers to spread their news and "wokeness" in the FOSS community. This community did not give Glimpse major attention but Linux news places did.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

It takes several years before a project gets recognition, and you have been at it for about a year. Much less if we look at Github (started in May it seems) or when you started to make binaries. Your projects hardly show up on Google... and it took Gimp-Forum.net 3 to 4 years to become to mainstream enough to show up in the first answers on Google.

Also, of course Glimpse had a good PR team, but of course they also look stupid now.

P.I.M.P. your G.I.M.P.
Wasn't that Gimpshops motto for a while?
