My company was acquired in mid-2017, and I decided to leave so I had some extra time to devote to the project during the past year. So at the end of 2017, I made the decision I would try and get it to work. But I really missed the simplicity and native feel of Seashore. I used Linux at work with GIMP, and I could use GIMP on OSX at home, as well. Seashore stopped working for versions of OSX starting with 10.11 (El Capitan) released in 2015. In my previous job, I would often create icons as placeholders until a “real” graphic designer could get to them. Robert, first of all, I don’t have a Mac in my household, so please bear with me! Could you please briefly outline the history of your involvement with Seashore? Which is where we meet Robert Engels who CPRed the project in 2017 and has been maintaining and improving it ever since. Mark pulled out from the project in 2009, but there were more developers to pick up development until there were none left. Seashore has also been using the version of the XCF file format from ca.
The project was started by Mark Pazolli in 2003, “borrowing some ideas, resources and source code ”, as the developer originally put it.
Seashore was designed to provide basic image editing tools for non-professional users. And this one is interesting because Seashore a native Cocoa app for macOS and it just has landed to Apple’s App Store, while being GNU GPL v2 licensed.
PROGRAMS LIKE GIMP FOR MAC UPDATE
While GIMP is undergoing major refactoring and UI update with GTK+3, it’s fun watching one of very few successful GIMP semi-forks rise from the ashes again.
