GIMP - Development Update: Closing In on the 3.0 Release Candidate
GIMP - Development Update: Closing In on the 3.0 Release Candidate
Update on 3.0 RC1 Development
I never thought I'd witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime
You might still not. Make sure to look both ways when crossing the road.
Yeah, cars suck.
Yet Han is still alive in Fast and Furious 9.
I've been binging the Final Destination movies, this is coming p close.
I’d really love if somebody would give GIMP the Blender treatment. It’s very good software but some of the UI paradigms are quite outdated. All their floating windows and dialogs do not work well on multiple screens.
From the update:
One area we want to focus on after 3.0 is improving our UI/UX design process. We have set up a separate UX repository to report and discuss issues related to design. We are looking to build a team of designers to discuss and create design improvements to GIMP that also respect existing user’s workflows. Denis Rangelov has taken a strong interest in this area and has already done great work in identifying, categorizing, and moving design issues from the code repository to the dedicated design section. Some design improvements have already been implemented for 3.0, and we look forward to working with community designers to give people a better experience!
It'll take some time, but it seems like improvments may be coming.
It's already been done
Ohhh great. Their UI always seemed old and crappy.
https://graphite.rs looks like it might replace gimp at some point
Graphite.rs is node-based.
It's entirely different workflow.
Looks like they'll be more in Krita's waters, if anything. And Krita already has a solid UI.
Oh man, I’m SO EXCITED for GIMP 3. I’ve been wanting these features in GIMP for literally decades.
Beautiful work .... I really don't mind the long wait between releases ... the previous Gimp 2.0 versions were so robust and practical that they have lasted for close to 20 years
In the early 2000s, I started off with cracked version of photoshop before I discovered GIMP and as soon as I did, I stuck with them since. They've saved me several thousand dollars in software costs over the past 20 years that I really don't mind waiting for the latest major release.
They can take their time releasing 3.0 for all I care. I'm still using 2.10 and I probably will for the next long while until 3.0 becomes stable. They've done a mountainous amount of work already and I congratulate them on everything.
This makes me realize too that I should probably donate something to their community for all the money they've saved me over the years.
The problem with gimp 2 is that it depends on python2 which is EOL
obviously looking forward to the non destructive editing updates and darktable integration sounds really nice, big fan of darktable.
Someone else needs to take over gimp.
Why do you say that?
Yeah, I'm wondering as well.
