Seashore is an image editor for Mac OS X, which was influenced by the GIMP and written using the Cocoa API.cite web|url=http://seashore.sourceforge.net/|title=Seashore - About|accessdate=2007-05-05] [cite web|url=http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=826648&forum_id=244287|title=Why Seashore?|accessdate=2007-05-05] Seashore uses GIMP's native file format, XCF, and has support for a handful of other graphics file formats, including full support for TIFF, PNG, and JPEG, and read-only support for BMP, PDF and GIF.cite web|url=http://seashore.sourceforge.net/feature.php|title=Seashore - About|accessdate=2007-05-05] Seashore offers a smaller number of features in comparison with GIMP, including layers and alpha channel support, gradients and transparency effects, anti-aliased brushes, tablet support and plug-in filters.

Seashore is currently at version 0.1.9 and is considered to be in Beta stages.cite web|url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/seashore/|title=SourceForge.net: The Seashore Project|accessdate=2007-05-05] It lacks many of the features that GIMP has, but Seashore's purpose is to become an easy-to-use Free Software graphics editor that runs natively on Mac OS X. Currently there is a working version of GIMP for Mac OS X, Gimp.app. Gimp.app has many features that Seashore does not have, but it requires a version of X11 to run. [cite web|url=http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/|title=Gimp.app|accessdate=2007-05-05] Seashore is written using the native Mac toolkit, Cocoa.

Features

Although still in development, Seashore has many of the basic features found in graphics editing software, including:
* Full support for the XCF file format
* Reading and writing TIFF, PNG, JPEG and JPEG 2000 file formats
* Reading BMP, GIF, PDF, PICT, and XBM file formats
* Layers and layer merging effects
* Individual editing of layer channels

* Anti-aliased paint brushes
* 6 gradient effects
* Graphics tablet support
* Plug-in filter effects

Features to come in future releases are Core Image support, the introduction of editable text layers and improved text rendering, and shapes and vector objects. [cite web|url=http://seashore.sourceforge.net/roadmap.php|title=Seashore - Roadmap|accessdate=2007-05-05]
