Introducing Blimp, a photo editor for Boblycats
Time to introduce Blimp, my very own layered photo editor. Blimp is my hobby programming project which I use for basic editing of my own digital photos. It has now gotten to the point where I think it may be useful for other people as well.
But I need beta testers. And what better place to get that than a community of photo- and computer geeks? :)
Read more about Blimp here: http://projects.boblycat.org/blimp
Then please download it from here: http://projects.boblycat.org/blimp/wiki/DownloadBlimp
And then pretty please test it out and give me some feedback! Keep in mind that this is an early beta version, so expect it to be a bit rough around the edges.
Finally, a screen shot of Blimp running on Windows:
And on Ubuntu Linux:

testing blimp
Hi Knut,
as an ubuntu user this is great news. I couldnt give gimp a real chance, since it differs from how i am used to do things in photoshop. I was looking for something that allowed exactly what blimp seems to offer. photo editing on an essential level without having to learn a totally new software from scratch (and thats what it feels like when i use gimp).
I tried different software with the purpose of finding something that fits my needs. But picasa, f-spot, gthumb, even lightzone (though pretty good, but slow) all havn't been what i was looking for. And using windows in a VM just for the purpose of doing some basic editing in P-Shop is a bit overkill.
Blimp steps into this gap. I just installed it and will be testing/using it.
Thank for creating it and greetings from Berlin,
René
