I\u00b4ve been using Photoshop<\/strong> since 1999.
It\u2019s the best software but if you need several licenses it can be expensive, also if you are on Centos Linux looks like there is no Photoshop\u2026 so let\u00b4s move to Gimp.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nGimp is a little messy, but it is free and have some advantages<\/strong> over Photoshop.<\/p>\nTo have a better control first of all I prefer to improve the preferences to mach them to Photoshop<\/strong> and to tune up the interface in a more confortable setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\/ First option \/ 2018<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
On this web<\/strong> <\/a>from www.linuxuprising.com<\/a> you can download a great configuration which imitates the photoshop way.<\/p>\nTo install it you must to download the menurc<\/strong> file:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>First Option from epierce, matching Photoshop menus (looks the original source or earlier I\u00b4ve found, 2012)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n\n\n
\nFor Windows<\/strong> rewrite your menurc<\/strong> file or copy a new one:
(watch your permissions and .extension to do it right)<\/p>\nC:\\Users\\[here goes your user name folder]\\AppData\\Roaming\\GIMP\\2.10<\/p>\n
For Linux<\/strong> it\u00b4s a little more complex, as the folder is more hidden, but you can do same. Copy or move the menurc<\/strong> to:<\/p>\n ~\/.config\/GIMP\/2.10<\/code><\/p>\non GIMP Flatpak should be:<\/p>\n
~\/.var\/app\/org.gimp.GIMP\/config\/GIMP\/2.10<\/code><\/p>\nor GIMP Snap should be:<\/p>\n
~\/snap\/gimp\/current\/.config\/GIMP\/2.10<\/code><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nAfter that just run the software check it\u015b done, pushing \u201cb\u201d hotkey.
You should have now \u201cbrush\u201d, which means you have done it right.
Some times, you do it wrong, when you have several Gimp versions, etc,
so is important to check it.<\/p>\n
For this configuration you can see here the shortcuts<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\/ Second option \/2020<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
There is another more specific bind<\/strong> to Photoshop (Author: migf1 (2020) here<\/a>. <\/p>\nIn this case is a complete \u201ctheme\u201d to fit a more close look to Photoshop.
You can find it on www.gnome-look.org<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s more complete as it includes hotkeys, using the menurc<\/strong>, but also using the controllerrc<\/strong> file. This file fits your mouse keys, etc. <\/p>\nIt\u2019s available on Linux and Windows<\/strong>.
On the themes you can have a complete description, also a hotkey document.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
