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.

      "Maybe, but if the pig won't charge you $500 for the privilege of taking it out to dinner... ;)"

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

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

      Then you would be full and have more money and...

      I'm not sure what I'm saying. What are we talking about?

      Best argument I've ever heard in favor of the GIMP. "Rather like fucking a pig, but it gets the job done!"

    My boss is ready to buy 5 licenses for Adobe CS2, and I'd love to save him a few grand.

    This my friends, is how you get your ass beaten by every beret-wearing latte drinking graphic designer in the building.

    Because they've all pirated Photoshop already.
