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...
The *NEW* GIMP Portable Photoshop Layout
As seen in the screenshot, the GIMP Portable Photoshop Layout changes the layout of the right-hand toolbox and enables GIMP's single window mode to more closely approximate the layout of Adobe Photoshop, making GIMP easier to use for users already familiar with that layout.
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 Platform including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Thanks Gord
You are BEAST.
You're right!
i've been waiting for this since the TEST releases
GIMP rules... it works better than Photoshop in some instances.
i.e. BMP w/ alpha, SVG format, etc..
THANKS !!!!!
Agree!
I've thought there will be another huge delay, but finally it's released!
Norton Anti-Virus picked up two files
Good Morning,
I installed Gimp on my USB stick this morning, and My Symantec AV picked up two files on heuristic scan.
file-compressor.exe and imagemap.exe were both quarantined. Does this seem like a false positive?
Thanks,
Jim
Revision 2
We've posted a quick update the fixes an issue with font cache being left behind on the local machine and improved the speed of secondary launches on the same PC as well.
Revision 3
Rev 3 ensures the old GIMP Portable Background Window plugin is removed as it causes issues with shutting down 2.8 and up.
Problem in the cage tool
GIMP crashes when i try to use the cage tool. Sometimes when i finish constructing the cage, other time when i move it.
GIMP Support
Please post a bug report with as many details as possible (install location, new vs upgrade, operating system, exact steps to reproduce) in the GIMP Support Forum and start the title with [Bug] so we can track it down for you.
Cage problem
I've tested, in my home computer with a locally instaled copy of gimp and the cage tool has the same problem so probably it's not a portable apps related problem. Do i report it in the support forums or not?
Report to Gimp
Since this happens with the installed version as well, please report it as a bug to the developers of GIMP, rather than here.
Python-Fu not available through GUI
Though this portable release contains, just like the installable version, the Python interpreter pre-installed, however its GUI neither provides the Python-Fu console nor recognizes the scripts/plugins written in this language that are placed in the appropriate directories, whereas there is not this kind of problem with the classic setup version instead.
Why?
GIMP Support
Please post a note in the GIMP Support forum as noted above so we can track this down for you.
GIMPPortable.ini
Try this
1. Replace App\AppInfo\Launcher\GIMPPortable.ini with this file

2. Create a new empty file name pygimp.interp under App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters folder
Photoshop Layout Page link wrong
The "Details"-link on the Photoshop lyaout page links to the details of the Gimp portable page instead of to its own download details.
Did the job!Many thanks!
The Phython script fix posted above did the job!
Many thanks!
