Download Gimp 2.5.4

Yesterday, en route to the stable 2.6 release, The Gimp Team released a new development version of Gimp in the form of version 2.5.4. The name of this open source photo editing program is an abbreviation for the ‘GNU Image Manipulation Program’. The software is available for various operating systems, including Windows, Freebsd, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. 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. Below are the changes made in this version:
