Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike

Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike 749

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday March 31, 2005 @07:39PM 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."

Gimp: New and improved. I love the photoshop look and feel. Now I can enjoy the look of photoshop with the functionality of Gimp.

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.

Granted I can't be arsed to RTFA as all I ever use Gimp for is cropping photos. But if I read the summary right they have geneticaly altered the pig to look, sound, feel, and smell like a girlfriend but to not want to be taken to dinner before she puts out.

I somehow fail to see the downside.
