Do you love gimp? A clone of photoshop (my opinion)

Gimp is powerful graphic design tools, and the best is still free, maybe forever.

In GIMP team announced today the first release of the 2.5 development series. It is true that this version is volatile, but little bird told me to give it a try and see what it was capable of. First of all, let me tell you that it completely redesigned interface, and I think that some users are having problems adapting to it, but this is just my two cents. On the other hand, version 2.5.0 of The GIMP includes some of the hot new features such as the integration GEGL (Generic Graphics Library), which will eventually be supported higher color depth, more colors, and ultimately non-destructive editing.

But enough chitchat, and let's take a closer look at some of the new features and improvements can be found in The GIMP 2.5.0:

Is this what you can expect from the new version of The GIMP? Maybe not, but, as seen from the above screenshot, The GIMP in the main window (yes, that you are already used to) has no menu! On the contrary, now you will have two windows open. The main window is the one in the right area where you can drag and drop photos, images, and tools (in the left), they are treated as a utility box.

Text Tool has been greatly improved in this volatile Liberation of The GIMP.
For those of you who do not know, but what GIMP (GNU images Program), and that it can do so freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. But it is not even 1% of what it can do, because he has a lot of opportunities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo editing programs, Internet system batch processing, mass production image rendering, image format converter, you name it! In GIMP works in many operating systems, in many languages. Here you can find more screens of The GIMP 2.5.0.
