Satisfying. I've been scarred by that GIF loop of that truck perpetually approaching the post, and to see the impact is like pulling the screen protector off a new TV. Bliss.
-
I honestly didn't know footage of it crashing existed. I accepted that someone had released a true horror into the world.

Accurate because it crashes on startup for me.
11/10 no notes

Is it good?

Pretty good. Many new features, one of them being non-destructive filtering which is the ability to apply a filter (say a Gaussian blur) and then re-edit the filter parameters or even remove it without having to undo.
However, at least for me, some changes will take some time to adjust to such as "OK" and "Reset" buttons of dialogue boxes now being displayed at the top rather than the bottom.
Also years work of changes without the wider public testing them means that there are a few bugs/annoyances, one of them being the checkerboard pattern for transparency being replaced with a solid colour (equal to the background colour) when you zoom in too much.
-
Yeah I really wish theyâd done more frequent releases than this one huge update after years. Still, itâs fantastic to finally have non-destructive editing - a huge missing feature.

I am so unbelievably fed up with Ui changes for no reason.
-
That (nondestructive filtering) is huge. One of the most frustrating things about blender for me was the âcommitmentsâ you had to make. God, thatâs fuckinâ awesome. Iâll have to check it out later, sounds like a jump forward.

It is atleast 50% better than Gimp 2.
-
The numbers check out!

This made me remember there is a video of this that is not the trolling GIF loop: https://youtu.be/nP6SKDppwes

I feel deja vu.. Didn't gimp 3 also release like months ago?
-
That was probably a release candidate you were thinking of.
-
-
I may have flatpacked it because I'm too impatient for the official apt-get to have 3.0 :) I then remembered I have no art skills and closed it after drawing squiggles :)
-
i remember gimp being unpleasant to use. is it good now?
-
Single window mode was the last major milestone (to me at least) for GIMP. It made such a huge difference to usability, to the point that GIMP became a viable photoshop alternative.
I thought it was a 2.0 (released 2004) feature, but turns out it was a 2.8 (2012) feature. (2.0 was the GTK2 switch)
Either way, I remember both releases, and now I feel old.
GIMP, Inkscape. Keep on trucking. Itâs been 20+ years and every one has shown improvements over the last.
-
Any good changes?
-
So its now easy to use? I'm familiar with Krita and I still struggle to get into Gimp
-
Krita is primarily for painting/creating art and GIMP is about image manipulation, right? I'm not sure if they're aiming for the same thing.
-
Photoshop is also about image manipulation but it was like the number one for digital art to many artist before that place was took by Clip Studio. Also before a lot of the even more shady practices from these days
-
-
I'm very used to using it now, but I remember being very confused and frustrated to start with. Gimp is all about layers and selections which was rather new to men when I got into it, so rather than using a circle drawing tool you instead select a circle and then fill it and stuff like that
-
The UI/UX is very similar, they just added some non destructive image modifiers (similar to Blender), better text editing, and a bunch of under the hood stuff that should help in the future.

â hell yeah
â change the name you cowards

Because.

Why what?

Why what where?
