Seashore is an open source image editor for Cocoa. Seashore features gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes.

Seashore is a tool that supports multiple layers and individual channel editing. Seashore is based around the GIMP's technology and uses the same native file format. Seashore is still undergoing development.
