The Gimp for Windows

The Gnu Image Manipulation Program for Windows 2.0 is stable and released today, (following the source code release a few days back) along with a fresh version of GTK+ 2. It's free and the installers are super-simple, so all of you still running on Microsoft OSes get downloading! You'll be glad you did!

If you're installing on Win95/98/ME, please uncheck the WIMP theme option in the Gimp installer options to save yourself some headaches. Also, be sure to install the version of GTK+ 2 that's on that page as well.

My little logo guy at the top right of glitchnyc.com was done on an early beta using paths and selection masks, which allow you to do some basic beizer curves and point-to-point selection. Very cool.
