GIMP 2.8.10 and the GIMP Manual 2.8.1 have been released:

• We don't have any change log information yet for version 2.10.12.0.0 of The GIMP 32-bit. Sometimes publishers take a little while to make this information available, so please check back in a few days to see if it has been updated.
• GNU Image Manipulation Program. GIMP User Manual Authors and Contributors I. Getting Started 1. Introduction 1. Welcome to GIMP 1.1. The GIMP Help system 1.3. Features and Capabilities 2. What's new in GIMP 2.10? Updated user interface and initial HiDPI support.

GIMP is as good as PhotoShop, yet occupies a fraction of the space and loads up a lot faster as well! Like PhotoShop though, you CANNOT master it without a User Manual. While a downloadable manual is available for Version 2.4, none existed for Version 2.6. We at WellOiledPC have compiled the PDF version of the GIMP 2.6 User Manual.

For GIMP 2.8.10, there are no official Windows or Mac OS binaries yet, but we will keep you up-to date.

The GIMP source code is linked on our downloads page.

GIMP Manual 2.8.1

The new version contains new translations (Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Catalan), improvements (for instance, a language menu in the online version and a Bugzilla “report errors” link on every page) and many bug fixes.
