Features
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. Learn more about the GIMP...
GIMP Portable Background Window 2.1.3 and Photoshop Layout
Two extras that enhance GIMP Portable are also available: GIMP Portable Photoshop Layout and GIMP Portable Background Window. The Photoshop Layout add-on adjusts GIMP's dock/toolbox to more closely approximate the layout of Adobe Photoshop. The Background Window plugin allows GIMP to occupy a single window. The background plugin does contain known bugs and is unsupported but should still be useful to many users.
GIMP Portable Help 2.4.0
GIMP Portable Help 2.4.0 is also available. It allows you install the complete GIMP help files into GIMP Portable to make use of the context sensitive help or to use the help files when offline.
New in This Release
GIMP has been updated to 2.6.3 (release notes).
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
GIMP Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It's packaged in the PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Thanks again
Yanni (John) thanks again, you are indeed a good person.
Efharisto (thanks) for giving me GIMP Portable.
Updating Question?
Thanks for the update.
Are there issues with using the built-in updater with GIMP?
I know there is with FireFox but not sure about any other apps.
Thanks
As always, thanks for the update. I saw the official update at gimp.org and wondered when I'd be able to get a portable version update. But I kept my mouth shut and waited, because I knew it would arrive. I just didn't expect it so quickly. Awesome job.
GIMP Help doesn't appear to
GIMP Help doesn't appear to work with this.

GIMP problem?
Is the lack of online help not a GIMP problem? The latest version of the help system that can be downloaded is for GIMP 2.4 (not for 2.6.x). The same problem exists for Mac users of the GIMP (which includes me in my preferred environment); the help system is not available for 2.6.x.
