Users of the Gimp may be interested in this...
Someone has rejigged the Gimp's user interface to look like Photoshop...
If you look through the thread, you will probably find a version that has been ported for your platform...

John, I am dissapointed, I thought this thread had something to do with Bondage & Discipline

Thanks Link. I will give this a go and see how it fairs up. I pretty much run linux + vmware and just fire up winxp from within linux to work on photos at the moment. I'll give this a go though

John, there was a character from a Quentin Tarantino movie called The Gimp, he was kept in a cellar in bondage gear. He has been copied many times since over the years and has become a byword for being in constraining bondage gear. A client of mine runs an establishment, whenever they have fetish nights she tells me there is a big queue to be The Gimp

How could you forget the pimp scene in Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames (sp?).

Didn't forget Kipper, just didn't throw all the details in. Of course the heading "users of the gimp" takes on new meaning when one realises that he was a character dressed head to toe in leather, kept in the basement of a pawn shop so the owner could sodomise him at will. (ps I don't use the gimp)
Kipper, that was a great scene where the sherrif comes in and they wake the gimp up. Probably only more memorable line from that movie was "Zeds dead".

Was awake through it Kipper
John, sorry for hijacking your thread, though I must say the makers of the Gimp must have a sense of humour to name their product after a character like that. The movie came out in the mid nineties, not sure how long the gimp program has been out.

Interesting Kipper, notice it came out after Pulp Fiction and that they have a link to Pulp Fiction on their site. I think they have a sense of humuor. Maybe they had visions of Linux users running around saying 'I use the Gimp', with others in the office sniggering, thinking they meant they have a guy in leather in the basement?

Most unix/linux guys do have a sense of humour ^_^
Quite a few of the names for apps are quite amusing.
For instance there was an editor called Pico and the new one is called Nano

So to be more on theme, I should have said that if Gimp doesnt start supporting 16bit files I'm "goina get medieval on his ass".
