Hello from Romania,

My name is Dan I have 55 years, and I love the open-source atmosphere. I have been using Ubuntu for a while for fun, and recently for start, I tried to restoring b/w family photos with freeware program( I worked in my dark room as teen-ager); at work I must use wxp ... I downloaded some basics gimp tutorials, I found GimpTricks , MeetTheGimp and this forum. After one mounth, I think that is the right place for find some answers, and I hope that here i'll learn more about Gimp. At last but not least, English is the second language for me, so I make mistakes.
Small question : I use xpp for my work and ubuntu 10.04.3 for surfing on net, stable version of gimp 2.6.11 in ubuntu and XP; I treid to put gimp-2.7.4-portable32bit.exe on my USB flash but won’t work( I want to see gimp with single windows). Any suggestions ?
Thanks, :tyspin

Dan

Welcome Dan, glad to have you aboard.
What gimp 2.7.4 did you download? Did you try the one in here?

Partha's version I have his regular version and it works very well. I also have 2.6.11 on the hard drive.

I would definitely recommend Parthas Gimp builds for Portable.
Mainly because he includes Python embedded.So all you need do is add some python filter scripts ,and your all set.
Some are included in the build i believe also.

Dan,

I responded to this in an email to you. Could you re-download?
