First Preview of GIMP 2.0 Ready for Testing

Posted by michael on from the my-precious dept.

molnarcs writes "The first preview of GIMP-2.0 is available. It can be installed side-by-side with GIMP 1.2 - so there is no need to uninstall 1.2 to test it. According to this README, some parts (gimp-perl and GAP) were removed from the main package, and will be released as separate modules. Use the mirrors listed on the homepage to download the source code. (Also available for FreeBSD via ports)." Apparently the GIMP is finally adding CYMK support, for those of you working in the print world.

  2. Including banknote detection ? by Rutje · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I guess they included a fully optional and expandable banknote detection system in order to compete with other leading graphical suites.

    This will be modded to hell, but I don't care.

    I realize GIMP is better than nothing, but its clunky, clumsy, and JASC paintshop pro for $40 seems a better deal overall.

    Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
