**PhotoGIMP** is a free, community-driven patch that transforms [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) (GNU Image Manipulation Program) into a layout that feels familiar to **Adobe Photoshop** users. If you're switching from Photoshop to GIMP and want to feel at home right away, PhotoGIMP is for you.

> **New to GIMP?** GIMP is a free and open-source image editor available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can do most things Photoshop can — photo retouching, image composition, graphic design, and more — all for free. PhotoGIMP just makes it _look and feel_ more like Photoshop.

## ✨ Features

- **Photoshop-like tool layout** — Tools are reorganized to mimic the positions you're used to in Adobe Photoshop.
- **Custom Splash Screen** — A unique PhotoGIMP splash screen greets you on startup.
- **Maximized canvas space** — Default settings are optimized to give you the largest possible working area.
- **Photoshop keyboard shortcuts** — Keyboard shortcuts follow [Adobe's official documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html) for the Windows version.
- **Custom icon & name** — A dedicated `.desktop` file gives PhotoGIMP its own icon and app name in your system menu.
