Using GIMPPortable as an alternative to PhotoShop
May 7th, 2009

I recently downloaded GIMPPortable from http://www.portableapps.com and I have to say that it’s quite amazing.
GIMP has always been a good free alternative to PhotoShop, but since it’s main target was the Linux community, it didn’t take off that well among PS users. It can pretty much do everything that PS can do and has some cool extra features.
What’s nice about the portable one is that I have it on my USB HDD which I take with me when I go on a photo shoot and if I need to use someone else’s PC, I’ll still be able to edit my photos 
Someone on another forum asked if he can open RAM files with GIMPPortable. Since I don’t shoot in RAW myself, I never tried it. But, it’s never too late to learn anything new, so I’ll see what I can do to open RAW files with GIMPPortable.
This thread: http://portableapps.com/node/4819 might shed some light, and I’ll give it a try and report back on my findings
