Download The GIMP 2.4.4

Last week a new version was released in the stable branch of The Gimp. The name of this photo editing program is short for ‘the GNU Image Manipulation Program’. The software is available for various operating systems, including Windows, Freebsd, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. The Gimp is considered by many to be the open source counterpart of Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, but opening many screens does require some getting used to. The changelog of version 2.4.4 shows the following changes:
