Ever feel guilty that you haven't been paying your dues to the mighty Adobe/Macromedia giant, overseer of all tools used by us lowly designers? Neither have I, especially with this nifty hack of Gimp. Called the GIMPshop, it's a cosmetic hack of the GNU image manipulation tool. Upon further inspection, it's not as much of a cosmetic hack as it is a UI hack. You may think those are the same things, but what it really does is reorganize all the menus, basically recreating your Photoshop workflow on Gimp. I've been forced to use Gimp for the last month now at work since they won't spring for an Adobe Creative Suite license, but I'm getting the hang of it and GIMPshop should only make things easier.
