A single-window mode now consolidates the many floating tools into one window and users can dock and move them around as needed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Several other modifications have been added as well, including a new way to handle groups of layers and improved image exporting.&nbsp;</p> <p>The list of <a href="http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html" target="_blank">changes for version 2.8 of GIMP</a> is pretty extensive but definitely worth a look, particuarly if you&#39;re looking for a solid Photoshop alternative.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img height="312" width="499" alt="GIMP VERSION 2.8" src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/resized-image.ashx/__size/500x400/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.01.96.65/linux_5F00_mixer.jpg" /></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=19664" width="1" height="1">image editingGIMPphotoshop alternativeweek19-2012
