Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An independent guide to installing and using PhotoGIMP, a settings patch that rearranges GIMP to resemble Photoshop.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.

For: GIMP users switching from Photoshop
Worth noticing: It distinguishes the unreleased master build from PhotoGIMP 3.1 and documents a tested GIMP 3.2.6 workaround.

Field notes

The page explains that PhotoGIMP changes GIMP’s settings files and artwork rather than its program files, and distinguishes those changes from Photoshop features it does not add. Its platform-specific instructions cover Windows, macOS, Linux package formats, and Portable GIMP. The guide reports testing a workaround for PhotoGIMP 3.1 on GIMP 3.2.6; it also identifies native 3.2 support as present in an unreleased master build.
