GIMP 2.6 Released
Enselic writes "The GIMP developers are proud to announce the release of GIMP 2.6. The release notes start with: 'GIMP 2.6 is an important release from a development point of view. It features changes to the user interface addressing some often received complaints, and a tentative integration of GEGL, the graph based image processing library that will eventually bring high bit-depth and non-destructive editing to GIMP.' The notes go on to say the toolbox menubar has been removed, the toolbox and docks now are utility windows, it's now possible to pan beyond the image border, the freehand select tool has been enhanced to support polygonal selections, and much more."
A more needed update....
SOMEONE PLEASE FORK THE PROJECT AND GIVE IT A NEW NAME!
My Point of sales machine died a few days ago, and the tech asked if I had installed anything on it. I told him that I loaded up "the gnu image manipulation program" just to avoid saying "GIMP". Can't we rename it to something better?
I suggest we use: GNU Photo & Image Manipulation Program.
If someone introduced me to something called "G-PIMP", I'm not sure I'd like to know what the G stands for...
gPimp, lol, sounds like an evil Apple product. Or a good one, depending on what side of the holy war you fight for.

Welcome to 1985 [wikipedia.org], GIMP developers...
Care to point us at a project you work on in your spare time so that we can mock it?

You just got troll'd!
It's right here. Mock away.
Other things we could call it:
IMP (image manipulation program)
LIMP (libre image manipulation program)
RIMS (Raster Image Manipulation Software)
None of these other options are working for me...

The LaTeX name hasn't hindered its adoption because it references neither extreme sexual domination or physical deformity. GIMP does both.
I myself enjoy comparing apples and oranges in my copious free time.
that sounds like a really boring hobby, you should try comparing apples with jet engines and oranges with elephants, it will make you a much more rounded individual who is happier about life in general.

Yeah, and "faggot" has also been used as an English term for a log for centuries. That doesn't mean I'm going to advocate for a software program named that to a bunch of middle-aged business people.

I don't like the name GIMP.
Is it possible to fork GIMP and change absolutely no functionality but the name? Or is this in violation of some kind of licensing or other issue?

You should have seen the shit-fit a colleague threw when I remarked on the picture of her hairy pussy(cat).
"I was in love with a beautiful blonde once, dear. She drove me to drink. It's the one thing I am indebted to her for."
lol, then you could say, "I just installed my G-PIMP Upgrayedd. The extra d is for a double dose of my pimping."
Fantastic.
gPimp, lol, sounds like an evil Apple product.
gPimp is actually google's pimping product, which I prefer since it is far more open. iPimp is way too locked down, it'll only let you work with ho's that Apple has approved.
Similes are like metaphors
But does it have electrolytes? It's what artists crave!

Cartoon speech bubble: Ellipse selection, shift-lasso select the arrow (if you can't draw a straight enough line, convert to a path, edit the path to put an arrow in, then convert back to a selection). Fill with background colour using the paint tool (fill whole selection). Stroke selection, choose line style. Put the words in it with the text tool. If you're doing that a lot, make a generic text balloon and save it, then insert it as a layer when you need one.
I'm seriously waiting for someone to mod this +1 funny ...

It's a long story, but the short version is that there's a ton of archaic, horribly outdated 8-bit legacy code gumming up the works. Until it's all replaced with 32-bit capable code, GIMP will continue to be unusable for photography beyond the party snapshot level.
It's a long story, but the short version is no

In Soviet Russia, you don't care that Gimp developers think YOU!
I still think that name is the worst. I remember a certain incident where someone said "I'm going to go home and play with my boyfriend's Wii"... and I said "Maybe you'd like to try saying that differently."
