IMP 3.0 — a milestone for open-source image editing [LWN subscriber-only content] The long-awaited release of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) 3.0 is on the way, marking the first major update since version 2.10 was released in April 2018. It now features a GTK 3 user interface and GIMP 3.0 introduces significant changes to the core platform and plugins.
In addition, this allows for GIMP users to take advantage of multi-touch input, bringing pinch-to-zoom gestures to the program, and offering a better experience when working with complex peripherals, such as advanced drawing tablets. Better workflow, performance, and color management A major focus of this release is greater integration with the Generic Graphics Library(GEGL), first introduced in 2000 for the purpose of improving GIMP's image-processing capabilities through a scene-graph-based architecture. This update introduces a new extension system and file format, GEX, allowing for easier distribution of plugins, themes, brushes, and other means of extending and supplementing the core application.
