GIMP needs to take a HUGE GUI lesson from this program. I even prefer LiveQuartz's GUI over Photoshop's, and the features are usually enough to get done what I need to. Wonderful app.

The icon could really do with some overhauling. I can't find out what it looks like. :/

FYI, the download link above is broken. The real link for v1.65 should be:

Very nice product ! Light weight, few but nice and simple features.
Layer management, different zoom for each layer.
Great
