Gimp is a great graphic design tool that we can use in Ubuntu in an easy way but we can also use it in other platforms, including Microsoft's own.
But unfortunately the big downside that many blame Gimp is that it is not Adobe Photoshop And not because it does not have the same power but because for many it does not have the same appearance and that is a problem for many. However thanks to a developer called Doctomo we can transform our Gimp in Ubuntu into a free Photoshop but powerful.
Having the same appearance as Photoshop will help many reluctant Ubuntu and Gimp users
To be able to convert Gimp into Photoshop we just have to go to the Doctormo's Github and download the zip file with all the data. It is easy because in Github we will find a button that says Clone or Download.
Once downloaded, we copy the zip package in the Home of our Ubuntu and we unzip it in the Gimp folder. You may not find it because it is a hidden folder. This can be solved by pressing Control + H and folders will appear whose name always begins with a period. We look for the folder «.GIMP-2.8»And copy the contents of the folder in another folder and under another name.
We will use this in case something goes wrong, as a backup. We go back to Home and unzip all the contents of the zip package in the hidden folder of Gimp. Then Ubuntu will ask us if it overwrites, combines or replaces the folder you have. In this case we first say to combine and regarding the files we answer to replace. And voila, we have the new appearance in our Gimp, an appearance similar to Photoshop and under the same window, no floating windows as Gimp currently has. I have personally tested it and it is quite fast and it works, but just in case it is convenient to make a backup.
