Thread: Edit photos

The Gimp may be peculiarly named, but it is highly thought of and, unlike most photo-editing programs, a free and portable version is available. It can be downloaded from /apps/graphicsJJictures/gimpJJortable and requires just 18MB of free space on the memory key.

After downloading, double-click the file and select Extract¬this will create a folder called GIMPportable. Simply copy this folder, in its entirety, to the memory key to install it, then double-click the GIMPportable icon inside to run the program.



Like Firefox, Thunderbird and Openoffice, the Gimp runs happily on both Windows XP and Vista computers, and it includes all the tools needed to fix photographs or create original artwork. It can open and save all of the most common types of image file.
