I have always admired GIMP for the fact that it competes with the well-established and widely used
Image editing tools like Photoshop despite being a freely distributed program.
I use GIMP often and I always found the multi-window mode
difficult to handle. Now I am happy to finally see a single-window
option in GIMP.
Here are the top three
features which I like in GIMP 2.8:
1. Single
window interface – option to switch.
2. Grouping
for the layer.
3. Enhanced
Text Editing.
