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.

    I've recently made a full-time switch to Linux at home, and the one thing on my list of needed software is a SIMPLE photo editor (for fixing red-eye and not much else).

    I'm not sure about red-eye, but for brown-eye you could go here.

    perhaps they should just leave 'the gimp' in the the box, where it belongs.
