GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful photo and image editor for composition and authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, a high quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter and much more.
The program is cross-platform with versions available for Mac and Linux. GIMP Portable is the PortableApps version of the program, and includes an available add-on that adjusts GIMP's layout to mimic Photoshop and switched on single-window mode.
Alternatively, another portable package is X-Gimp.

hamasaki: works fine for me
v2.8.6 Rev 2
Portable apps file appears to be missing.
v2.8.6 Rev 2
v2.8.2 - Works great on Win 8 CP. I'm running it on an Asus netbook with an SSD and 1.8 GHz Atom. It loads/starts slow, but once up and running, it performs as if it were on a full desktop.
V2.8.2
v2.8 boosts quite a few drastic improvements. ArsTech has a writeup: http://arst.ch/tny
V2.8 Rev 2
Was thrilled to see GIMP in popular use at a tech company I visited. Evidently familiarity with this program is turning into a marketable skill.
V2.6.12
i have just discovered GIMP. i am a Photoshop enthusiast, but must admit, GIMP is extremely reliable, light, and filled with all kinds of options. Some of the features closely resemble that of Photoshop. Overall, im very impressed with GIMP. If you are familiar with Photoshop, you'll be able to figure your way around in GIMP. Great app.!
V2.6.11 Rev 3
Yes, I have the same error with script-fu not running.
@M.C: My copy of GIMP Portable 2.6.11 does launch, but I have this problem:
http://portableapps.com/node/25198
I'll downgrade to 2.6.10 Rev 2 immediately after posting this message.
I have now tried the 2.6.11 version on Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit with the same result, Scriptfu.exe crashes on program startup.
There was a typo in the download URL on launch day that was fixed within an hour or so.
