The Fedora 17 DVD now includes GIMP 2.8 out of the box. GIMP 2.8 isn't a final release just yet, but it should be by the time Fedora 17 is final – no, really, after three years of development GIMP 2.8 is finally being released in May. In the meantime you can play with the new and long-awaited single-window mode, which gives the graphics editor a more Photoshop-like look feel.
