This is jumping the gun slightly, but look for this eBook, written by yours truly, to become available sometime in early Summer. Visit the blog to have a look at the cover.

A specific release date for GIMP 2.8 is still unknown, however, following deveolpers work and discussion, it seems that GIMP 2.8 will be released somewhen in 2011, maybe in Q2 or Q3.

"`Single Window` mode in the current development version of GIMP is so named because it allows you to attach GIMP's Docks to the main window. It does not force you to have one singular window, as you can have Docks attached and detached in single-window mode"...

You don’t need to be a tech wiz or a graphics expert to know, when it comes to image manipulation, Adobe Photoshop monopolizes the market. But, there is one down side to the famous program, and that is it’s well known price tag.

The venerable GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is undergoing a significant transformation. The next major release, version 2.8, will introduce an improved user interface with an optional single-window mode.

Although we're sad to see the Gimp tutorial go away for the time being, we'd like to thank its author - the incredibly prolific Michael J. Hammel - for all the awesome work he's done over the years, and we're happy to announce that we're releasing high-res PDFs of Michael's 18 most recent GIMP tutorials for everyone to enjoy.

While the developers still work continuous on the next version of GIMP there comes, of course, the question of a release date. Will GIMP 2.8 yet reach us in 2010?

The open source image editor known as GIMP doesn't need an introduction. Neither does its multi-window interface.
