Ell made use of that by adding Linear Burn, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix, Exclusion, Merge, Split, and Luminance (RGB) blending modes (most of them now also supported in the PSD plug-in).Īnother prominent change is the introduction of the Pass Through mode for layer groups. Thanks to Øyvind Kolås and his Patreon supporters, GIMP now also has a simple ‘blendfun’ framework that greatly simplifies implementing new color modes. And the histogram dialog now features a toggle between gamma and linear modes-again, it’s a design we’d like to improve. We also added a new Colors -> Linear Invert command to provide radiometrically correct color inversion. Moreover, we made both compositing of layers and blending color space configurable, should you have the need to use that for advanced image manipulation. The user interface for switching was a quick design, we’d like to come up with something better, so we are interested in your input. You can now switch between two sets of layer modes: legacy (perceptual) and default (linear).
#GIMP UPDATE UPDATE#
Since we want to make workflows in linear color spaces more prominent in GIMP, it was time to update the blend modes code. We expect to spend some time figuring out a way to simplify this, possibly using the GUM language (see below).
#GIMP UPDATE CODE#
So far one still needs to write C code to make a GEGL-based filter use on-canvas interaction.
Yet another new feature is an option (on the screenshot above) to choose fill color or pattern for empty spaces after resizing the canvas.
The Quit dialog got a few updates: automatically exiting when all the images in the list have been saved, and a Save As button for every opened image (clicking an image in the list will raise it easy checks). To make that feature possible, Michael Natterer introduced saving of last dialogs’ settings across sessions and made these defaults configurable via the new Interface / Dialog Defaults page in the Preferences dialog.Īdditionally, the Preferences dialog got a vertical scrollbar where applicable to keep its height more sensible, and settings on individual pages of the dialog can be reset separately now. There’s a new button in the Layers dockable dialog for that as well. Now GIMP remembers the last type of mask initialization, and you can use key modifiers + mouse click on layer previews to create, apply, or remove masks. GUI, Usability, and Configurabilityīenoit Touchette improved mask creation workflow for users who use a ton of masks in their projects.
For that, please tweak the amount of threads on the System Resources page of the Preferences dialog. On the other hand, you can always set the amount of cores to 1 if you couldn’t be bothered to report bugs. This is because we really, really want to ship GIMP 2.10 with usable parallel processing. We know GIMP can explode when using more than one core, but we keep it that way so that we get as many bug reports as possible for this officially unstable development version. GIMP now has support for experimental multi-threading in GEGL and will try to use as many cores as are available on your computer. Here we’d like to focus on the most important changes. De complete release notes voor deze uitgave zien er als volgt uit: GIMP 2.9.6 ReleasedĪfter more than a year of hard work we are excited to release GIMP 2.9.6 featuring many improvements, some new features, translation updates for 23 languages, and 204 bug fixes.Īs usual, for a complete list of changes please see NEWS. In versie 2.9 is onder meer de GEGL-image processing engine nog verder geïntegreerd, kan het canvas worden geroteerd en treffen we diverse nieuwe en verbeterde tools aan.
#GIMP UPDATE SOFTWARE#
De software is beschikbaar voor diverse besturingssystemen, waaronder Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS en Solaris. De naam GIMP is een afkorting voor 'GNU Image Manipulation Program'. De derde ontwikkelversie uit de 2.9-serie van het opensource-fotobewerkingsprogramma The Gimp is uitgekomen.
