GIMP 2.6 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pimp-your-pixels dept.

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.

    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?

    lol, then you could say, "I just installed my G-PIMP Upgrayedd. The extra d is for a double dose of my pimping."

    Fantastic.

    But does it have electrolytes? It's what artists crave!
