GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) 2.4 Released

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) 2.4 was released on Oct. 24 along with a new look for its web site. It is the first major release since version 2.2 was released in December 2004 (although there were many minor point releases between then and now). Despite GIMP's immense graphic editing capabilities, I've never really been able to get past its idiosyncratic user interface (and never tried GimpShop which attempts to address this issue). I've generally used the freeware Paint.net on Windows or Open Source SeaShore on Mac OS X because of their more conventional interface design that is easier for me to understand and use.
