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.
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 It’s very good software but some of the UI paradigms are quite outdated.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.
https://graphite.rs looks like it might replace gimp at some point
Looks like they’ll be more in Krita’s waters, if anything. And Krita already has a solid UI.
Maybe? It looks like it’s tuned towards generative use cases. Sometimes you need to just edit a photo really quickly and setting up a bunch of nondestructive nodes seems like more of a hassle than help.
But hopefully I’m wrong! This is the first I’ve heard of the project.
Nose based software typically still has a sidebar ala Lightroom for quick things. Both Blender and Graphite use this approach. Nodes are for when you want to go further.
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.
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.
Offering your services to maintain a fork?
that is the typical gnome response yeah. " don’t like it? do it yourself but we sure won’t merge it"
No, just using better software.
Why do you say that?
Yeah, I’m wondering as well.
