Choose “Download ZIP” (green arrow in the image above). To do this, visit the GitHub page (linked in the previous sentence) and click the green “Clone” button (denoted by the red arrow in the image above). The first thing you’ll need to do is download the free PhotoGIMP patch by DioLinux from GitHub. This patch is full of useful tweaks and features – so let’s dive into how to actually install it on Windows! You can view the video tutorial below, or skip past it to read the Help Article available in 30+ languages. It removes many of the default dockable dialogues that display around the GIMP canvas by default to declutter your workspace and give you more room on the canvas itself.įinally, PhotoGIMP includes popular plugins like the Heal Selection tool from the Resynthesizer plugin (this tool allows you to easily remove anything from a photo – which I cover in a few tutorials), thousands of free fonts (just check the individual font licenses to make sure you can use them commercially – not all are available for commercial use), and some third-party brushes. This free patch by DioLinux simplifies the GIMP user interface by setting your Toolbox up in a single-column, setting your icon theme to symbolic (which is a single-color theme – similar to what Photoshop uses), changing all GIMP’s shortcuts to Photoshop’s default shortcuts (based on the Adobe manual), and more. Are you a longtime Photoshop user looking to finally make the switch to GIMP – the free photo editing and photo manipulation software? You may find PhotoGIMP useful in helping you make the switch.
