As it turns out, Mark Pazolli has adapted the basic GIMP engine to create Seashore, an image editor for the MacOS which addresses many of the concerns I had with GIMP. “Old King Cole’s Book of Nursery Rhymes” by Byam ShawWhen I previously reviewed the powerful but geeky GIMP image editor, I found fault with the difficulty of installation and unfamiliarity of the structure for novices and especially for Mac users. ![]() Seashore Or Gimp Plus The AbilityWith no plugins, the selection of filters or effects which are offered is pretty basic, including a couple of blur filters, a sharpening function and a few color adjustment effects. The basic image manipulation functions are rudimentary with no free-floating rotate feature and no perspective tool. Other features include Photoshop-style layers and a good set of color and image density adjustment tools.The biggest shortcoming of Seashore is that it doesn't take plugins and doesn't have the breadth of image manipulation options and automated filters which are available for Photoshop. The strongest special features is a great texture tool which is easier to use than Photoshop's equivalent and comes with about 30 excellent textures built in plus the ability to define your own, and they link right into the paint bucket or brush tool with no fuss. It also includes a powerful shapes tool which makes it easy to add rounded corners and custom features to shapes, and oddly has the crop tool, which I thought had been left out of the program, included as one of its functions. ![]()
