🚨Breaking: Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Here's exactly what it changes:

→ Every keyboard shortcut mapped to match Adobe's official Photoshop layout
→ Tools reorganized to match the Photoshop panel positions you already know
→ Canvas space maximized -- same default workspace as Photoshop
→ Custom splash screen and app icon so it feels like a real product
→ Pre-defined canvas templates matching Photoshop defaults
→ Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux -- installs in under a minute

Here's the wildest part:

Adobe Photoshop costs $600/year.

GIMP is free. PhotoGIMP makes it feel like Photoshop.

The only reason most designers don't switch is muscle memory every shortcut is in a different place and it feels wrong from the first click.

This patch fixes that entirely. Ctrl+Z undo. Ctrl+J duplicate layer. Ctrl+T transform. All of it.

Download a zip. Extract to your home folder. Done.

6.7K GitHub stars. Works with GIMP 3.0+.

100% Open Source. GPL-3.0 License.
