If you are writing a page for Photoshop users who also want to use the gimp then you should definately be sure to tell them about "psmenurc" which provides Adobe Photoshop like keyboard shortcuts for everything. It could help give you an idea of what tools are similar based on the shared keybindings. Make sure the help is properly installed, and consider installing extras like gimp-perl, gimp-python, gimp-data-extras, gimp-print and last but not least gimp-gap. You should also be sure to point out PSPI, which is a "Photoshop Plugin Interface" written by Tor Lillqvist which allows you to use most 8bf Type Photoshop Filters with the gimp. http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/ The Filter iWarp is similar to the Liquify Filter in photoshop. If they are asking for "Save for Web" try showing them how to use Webotine (or Perlotine, or Py-Slice or Guillotine). If you want "Layer from Cut" and "Layer from Copy" I've implemented them in both Script-Fu Scheme and Python and some other scripts (like Place, and Align) that might be of some interest to photoshop users. http://netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/dev/gnome/gimp/script-fu/script-fu.html http://netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/dev/gnome/gimp/plug-ins/python/ I'd recommend you make serious efforts to manage expectations. If they are using a recent version of photoshop (or photoshop elements) you will definately want to carefully test some of their Photoshop Documents and make sure the level of support is good enough for their needs. Note: The information that is shown in the title bar and status bar can be tweaked to be more like how it is in Adobe Photoshop. I doubt it would make much of a difference but it would be good to write up some notes on it. The gimp often has different strategies and you will need to explain this carefully to photoshop users or risk severely dissappointing them. If you can set them up with a good Thumbnail browser it will help ease the pain of the gimp not having one built in (Photoshop has had a thubmnail browser since Photoshop version 7.0). I'd turn Rulers off by default if I were you, it is the way Adobe Photoshop does it and I think it makes thinks look just a little bit tidier and more aesthetically pleasing. I might also turn on text labels on the Docked Palettes to help make things easier to learn (and only disable them later if you want to save space). Be sure to show them the navigation/over widget that is on the bottom right between the scrollbars. There is probably lots more that could be written but off the top of my head that all I can think of so far.
