The GIMP image editor is a very powerful program. It's greatest disadvantage
has been that installation can be a little tricky. This is not the case with
this version, however, which is designed to work from a USB key on any computer.
Installation involved a simple automated uncompression of the files. Once
complete the GIMP portable was ready to go. There are no disadvantages to
running the GIMP in this way and any changes made to preferences are saved. In
fact, it is even possible to
copy
settings from an existing installation of the GIMP to this portable version.
All the features of the normal version are included. You can read about them
in our full
review.
