GIMP 3.0 RC3 Released For A Final Round Of Testing

GIMP 3.0 RC3 is out today as what is hopefully the last release candidate before the long-awaited stable release of GIMP 3.0 as this long in development free software alternative to the likes of Adobe Photoshop.

GIMP 3.0 RC3 works well with the newly-minted GTK 3.24.48 toolkit revision, there are image graph improvements, thread-safe projection changes, a few plug-in improvements, fixes to Adobe PSD file format handling, and the AppImage build of GIMP is now considered official. Here's to hoping GIMP 3.0 RC3 is indeed the last test version and GIMP 3.0 stable surfaces very soon.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
