Gimp 2.6 for Windows. Ready, Set, Almost GO!
The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a graphics editor used to process digital photographs and graphics. It is generally used to create logos and graphics, resize and/or crop photos, color alteration, removal of unwanted features and conversion between different image formats. It can also be used to create GIF format animated images. Even though it is not designed to resemble Adobe Photoshop, which is the most commonly used graphics editor in the printing industry; GIMP is often used as a free replacement to the Adobe software.
The GIMP 2.5 development series was released to give developers and interested users a vision into the current development of GIMP 2.6. The most notable new feature in GIMP 2.5 is that the color tools have been ported to GEGL which is a graph based image processing framework. This does affect the user experience much, but it is a major improvement. Once GEGL is fully integrated into GIMP, higher color depths, non-destructive editing and more color spaces will finally be supported by GIMP. Another change included in GIMP 2.5 is that the toolbox menu is merged into the image window and is treated as a utility window.
The latest available version is GIMP 2.5.3 which is an unstable improvement to version 2.5.2. GIMP 2.5.3 features fixes for the 64-bit Windows platform and other improvements to existing features. These include improved scaling quality and scroll-beyond-image-borders feature.
Since GIMP 2.5 is an unstable version of the software, some new features are incomplete. Users are therefore advised by the development team to use GIMP 2.4 if they need to use the software to get some work done.
