Hello guys

I am on Amiga finally [after several months of work].

Tonight I am starting to mess with Themes. In the mean time, I realized that it would be fantastic if I will be able to make Gimp to look and work as close as possible to Photoshop so I wouldn't need to switch to PC every time I have to do some graphics changes.

Here is text I've found on internet:

Make Gimp 2.8 Look Like Adobe PhotoShop CS3!
http://techtipsmadeeasy.blogspot.com/2012/05/make-gimp-28-look-like-adobe-photoshop.html

and some other texts like this one:

Handy Tweaks to make Gimp replace Photoshop
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/03/8-handy-tweaks-to-make-gimp-replace-photoshop/

And on this page here is something called GimPhoto:
http://features.en.softonic.com/make-gimp-look-like-photoshop-with-gimphoto

Is there any way I can set CygnX version to look like PS? Some prefs, gui stuff or something?

I don't about making it look like Photoshop but I do remember that it's Photshop import is not good, photoshop uses a lot of vector stuff, that you'd never realise were vectors till you try and import it into GIMP and half of it disappears. So if you are working with photoshop files as source, you just wont want to hop between programs.

And GIMP on amicygnix is unusably slow.

You would be better of using VNC to access your PC (or vice verca)

Yes I know it is slow, but it would be great if it can be somehow done to look and act as close to Photoshop as it can be. I wouldn't import PSDs [I know non-destructive effects are missing], but at least same keyboard shortcuts could work [and probably improved layout?]

@djnick

making gimp under amicygnix look like photoshop and insisting on working with it is a brilliant idea to push os4 forward. could you once take care of a job you were appointed to?

Of course. I am on Amiga now, finishing working theme with kas1e :) Just few problems with color palette and it is done. Then goes cloning and adding new window styles...

Did you try 16 Bit screenmode?
Which Amiga do you have?

I can assure you, that Gimp works very well and fast on my X1000.
If you don`t believe it, i can make a video from it and upload it to youtube
Maybe you have the wrong settings

but djnick has a sam, in this case it doesnt matter how fast your hardware is.

@djnick

I would think the second link which makes Gimp ACT like photoshop would be more important than the first and second which are more about how it LOOKS.

But personally I would think an experience PS user would be most frustrated with differences in keyboard shortcuts, and I really don't know if that's something you can customise. I figure it must be internationalised, but translation packs for Linux and Windows software has not, alas, traditionally been something for the faint of heart to mess around with.

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

No its overall idea to push GIMP to be more user friendly to what people are used to on Windows, Linux, and yes AmigaOS 4. Common work settings aids creativity.

Seems like man is on the job, and also wants to use his SAM 460 too ...

It is fast enough on a Sam 460 too, when the settings have been made ​​correctly
