It's Called Fog Panther. Flathub: FogPanther Claims to be written in GTK4. Looks like a modified GIMP. Made by a business consulting firm, looks sketchy to me.
GIMP alternative for Linux, but proprietary.

I think OP is referring to Fog Panther, I just saw this yesterday in Flathub: https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.fogpanther.FogPanther. It definitely appears to be some jackass selling a blatant GIMP clone.

Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?

Absolutely, and Photogimp is not enough.

No Photogimp is not enough lol

Yes. The only thing stopping me using GIMP is the UI. I'd pay for GIMP with a better UI straight away.

AFAIK GIMP only gained GTK 3 support on Nov 2024 and they're still working on GTK 4.
If this is really GTK 4, they might have forked from GIMP for a while now.
There's chances this really is a brand new UI on top of GIMP as opposed to just being a layout change and rename, but I guess someone would have to poke at it further to confirm.

the "art" looks very ai as well and given it's only a single layer it certainly is not made in this software or by the person making this software

The program Fog Panther (if this it the program the OP is referring to) was already rejected for using (entirely?) Ai: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/8077 . 3 weeks ago they closed it with conclusion:

The lack of layers in the layer panal is suspious.

Also adding the fact the image is a typical Ai generated size of max 1024 x 1024 (slightly lower on one side, probably watermark removed) and the randomized image names indicate a web download. Very Amogus.

Ew, gross. I'd rather GIMP myself.

Looks very sketchy but I'm not to sure if it really is GIMP. It's code is old and complex changing it to look like in the screenshot would be a big project on itself.

what is it

inkscape? which is free
Cris_Color@piefed.world · 5 pts · 153d
Gimp is a rasterized editor and inkscape is a vector editor. Both have limited functionality within the other category of graphics if I'm not mistaken but theyre not the same kind of tool
warmaster@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 153d
Is Photoshop the same as Illustrator?
pr06lefs@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 153d
you can tell the difference because of the names
warmaster@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 153d
Oh so Inkscape must have a different purpose than Gimp, right?
0xd34d@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 153d
I think you are right, this looks just like inkscape to me.
Cris_Color@piefed.world · 2 pts · 153d
While the styling looks vaguely similar to inkscape none of the toolbars or anything have the correct tool contents to be inkscape
0xd34d@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 151d
Yeah you are definitely correct. The panels and layout look very similar but the tools not so much.
