Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the reduced-learning-curves dept.

Mr_Silver writes "One of the many complaints about the GIMP is that of its user interface and how it should be more like Photoshop. If you feel that this is true then Scott Moschella has hacked together GimpShop which turns GIMP's user interface into something more akin to Photoshop for OSX. However, if you're not running that operating system, fret not, because there is a version for Linux too."

      Honestly, I like Gimp fine the way it is. I think this case is more akin to putting a girlfriend in a pig suit. ;) Reasonable people's opinions will differ, of course.

      So... you'd date a pig to save $500?

      And you could just eat the pig and sell the dress!

      Hey now, I recently moved to Arkansas, and I can tell you that they are just like people anywhere else, drive nice cars and wear shoes, speak clearly and are well educated. Enough with this stereotyping! People from Arkansas have a right to be taken seriously.

      Aww...who am I kidding? Everything you think about Arkansas...it's all true.
