Category: Adobe PhotoShop CS3
Today am thinking of something old but new, making my most notable work more readable and easier to understand, of course I am talking about this post on how to make Gimp look like PS CS3.

I have been told it’s hard to follow, which may explain why is it viewed so many times!!
Even I had a hard time following it, and am the one who made it!!
So please if you read and followed my tutorial successfully then suggest me some edits and I will give you credits for it.
Thank you, that is all.
Have a nice day 🙂
Good day to you all
This tutorial was made on Windows XP SP3 and Gimp 2.8 RC.
Use these steps to improve the performance of Gimp 2.8
- First of all run the software from a shortcut you create, not the one that comes with it, because it has a line called %Userprofile% which makes the start of the software faster.
- Uninstall all unnecessary brushes,as it adds to the load time.
- If the gtk.net library is installed, uninstall it.
- Gimp themes doesn’t make it much slower but it causes laggy interface, so remove it.
A tool to use
If you followed any of my previous tips, just uninstall everything using iobituninstaller, advanced uninstall and preform a power scan to get rid of everything related to Gimp, then reinstall after a restart, the only thing to do is use the single window mode to make it like Photoshop.
And of course if you were lucky and nothing happened with you, keep it as it is.
Please note that RC is a testing version, use the final version whenever possible!
Thank you for reading, please comment below.
Hello There and Welcome to a new tech tip.
today we will make gimp look and feel like PhotoShop CS3 via some very simple steps, please read ahead!

1. Download the zipped file Gimp Themes v1.0 and install it on your computer, it’s less than 2 mbs. *There is a version for Linux here.
2. open gimp, go to windows single window mode and click it, it will collect the previously scattered windows and make it more organized, but don’t edit their look just yet.
3. Copy all of the contents of the Bin folder From [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0] to [C:Program FilesGIMP2] And the folder Engines from
[C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0libgtk-2.02.10.0engines] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2libgtk-2.02.10.0engines]
And the folder Themes contents from [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0sharethemes] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2sharethemes]
4. Run the application Gimpthemes-v1.0.exe located in [C:Program FilesGIMP 2bin] to select any theme you like from the ones installed (use Aroura mid night for maximum effect) then click OK.
Run gimp 2.8 normally, After success all the tools will be gone, simply drag the vertical line at both screen ends to restore them, then arrange the tools as you like.
That is all, I hope you try it and like it, please comment.
Have a wonderful day.
