Download Gimp 2.6.7

The Gimp Team released version 2.6.7 of the open source photo editing program Gimp on Friday. The name Gimp is an abbreviation for ‘GNU Image Manipulation Program’. The software is available for various operating systems, including FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. Although not officially supported by The Gimp Team, Jernej Simoncic is working on a installer that can be used under Windows. In version 2.6.7, the user interface in particular has been improved, which was often criticized for opening the many screens. The first steps have also been taken with regard to the integration of gl, which should offer higher color depth and improved editing capabilities in the future. Below you will find all the improvements made to Gimp since version 2.6.6:
