First Looks at The Gimp 2.5

desmondhaynes writes "The GIMP team announced today the first release from the 2.5 development series. It is true that this version is unstable, but a little bird told me to give it a try and see what's it capable of. First of all, let me tell you that its interface is quite redesigned and I think that some users will have problems adjusting with it, but that's just my two cents. On the other hand, version 2.5.0 of The GIMP includes some hot new features, like the integration of GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) which will finally get support for higher color depths, more colorspaces and eventually non-destructive editing."

Re:Have they changed the name yet?

There's no way I'm going in front of our Engineering Review Board for a product called "The Gimp", no matter how much money it's going to save. Your engineering board should make it explicit that a fashionable name trumps functionality and cost-effectiveness when it comes to software procurement. In fact, I dare them to.

Do you snicker at the word "penis" too?

It's called GIMP. Not "The" GIMP, not "A" GIMP, just GIMP. Get over it. I'm sure they don't even blink when you toss out gibberish like Unbuntu and Vista at them. And I'm sure someone will be more than willing to take your place when you Engineering Review Board replaces you for costing them a fuckload of money on Photoshop when your reason not saving money is "because it's called The GIMP".

No really, grow the fuck up.
