Turn GIMP into "Photoshop"
I came across this patch .... This is new, from about a week ago.
IMO even in the latest stable release (2.10.20) the biggest problems with GIMP--and I use it for some purposes, and have financially supported it in the past--are:
(1) unlike Photoshop (and Affinity Photo and others), the workflow is largely destructive, i.e., most operations actually modify the underling pixels instead of creating an instruction that can be modified or withdrawn at any time, and then is processed as part of a final-render-and-export; and
(2) although version 2.10 has greatly improved color management, there are still at least some oddities, and as of just now, the official GIMP roadmap (
https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap) says, "Color management fixes and improvements - work in progress - Changes released in 2.10.x, more comeing in 3.x".
So you can change the user interface to make GIMP look more like Photoshop, but the same old issues 'under the hood' remain.
