[Digikam-users] Photoshop and the Gimp

I have the Gimp on my system (Kubuntu Feisty) amended to make it 
Gimpshop.

I appreciated that Gimpshop is just a reordering of the Gimp menus to 
make it more like Photoshop without giving it any other functionality, 
however, this appears to be the most Photoshop-like application 
available in Linux.

The problem before me is that in September I shall be following a course 
in Photography that presupposes you have Photoshop installed on your 
computer and you are given add-ons that work like plug-ins to 
Photoshop.  I've raised this problem in some digital photography 
magazines in the UK which usually run primers in Photoshop together 
with DVDs of software.

Apart from its high cost, Photoshop doesn't run on Linux, so it seems I 
am going to have to buy a cheap desktop to run WinXP or a Mac and 
Photoshop unless....

Do any on this forum know of any application for Linux that is totally 
Photoshop compatible, even down to the same type of interface?.....
