Version: The GIMP 2.4.2
"Good but with a few downfalls"
Pros: I would really recommend this product for users who do not have Adobe Photoshop or can't pay for an image editing program. The GIMP requires GTK RunTime Environment to run, and it always comes with the installer without any intrusive and hoggy problems like Java. The GIMP is very small, and very easy to use. It clones Adobe Photoshop's interface and also has various image editing tools. Not intrusive, very light on resources, and it does everything without the clutter, and the installation when by smoothly.
Cons: Although this program works like Photoshop, it is missing a lot of features and also has minor crashes. It also isn't as popular so getting brushes and patterns for this program will be more challenging.

Version: The GIMP 2.4.2
Pros: I tried this program a few years ago and it was awful. In a desparate situation I downloaded the new version and it is great! I am glad they made it more like photoshop so it is easier to understand right away.
