    Brief History

    A couple of students at Berkeley, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis, decided to


    write an image manipulation program rather than write a compiler in scheme/lisp for
    professor Fateman (CS164). Neither one had graphic arts experience, but it seemed
    like a neat project. They got encouragement from professor Forsythe to implement
    some new features too - rumor has it intelligent scissors was Spencer's CS280 project.
    Thus Spencer and Peter began the General Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). They
    worked on it for a quite awhile before letting anyone else have a crack at it - probably
    about 9-10 months by current estimates. By their first public release, they had a
    functional product.

    GIMP had a lot of neat stuff attached to its first public release, version 0.54
    (January 1996). It has a plug-in system, so developers could make separate programs
    to add on GIMP without breaking anything in the main distribution. It has some basic
    tools to do drawing, and channel operations. It has an undo feature which was not found
    in any known image manipulation program before. It had loyal users swearing by it. It
    was protected by the GPL and has a cool name.

    But all was not well with GIMP. It has frequent crashes that could be caused by
    plug-ins or problems in the main code. It has a dependency on Motif for its GUI toolkit,
    which made impossible efficient distribution to a lot of users. This restriction also
    alienated a lot of would-be plug-in development. Some people has making absurd
    claims that GIMP was already more stable than Photoshop.

    So like a lot of projects, there was a rather humble beginning to a project that
    gathered a lot of support from the user community. Its beginnings were almost entirely
    self-contained. They didn't announce grandiose plans for vaporware - Spencer and
    Peter delivered a product that did something. It was not perfect, but it was an amazing
    feat for two college programmers without any outside influence.

    Below are the dates of GIMP development with the stable releases (green font):

    GIMP Definitions

    • An image editor that is robust, mature, very actively maintained and constantly
    improved. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program -- and was the
    initial purpose (over 10 years ago) for the popular, cross-platform widget set GTK
    (the GIMP ToolKit)
