http://lifehacker.com/5908178/gimp-updates-with-a-new-interface-layer-groups-and-more

Windows/Linux: The free image editing tool GIMP has received a big update to version 2.8 that includes an overhaul to the interface and makes it a bit easier to use and navigate windows. It also comes packed with a bunch of bug fixes, a new layer groups option, and new dock window management.
The big change is in the interface. With that comes a new single-window mode that consolidates all the floating tools into one window. You can dock and move them around as needed. On top of the completely new interface, a bunch of smaller tweaks are added in as well, including a new way to handle groups of layers, better image exporting, and more.

I mush appreciate this tip. I downloaded GIMP when after the theft of my computer I was temporarily without Photoshop. Some on UHH hold GIMP in high regard. I may yet try to learn how to use it.
