GIMP 2.8 Will Sport a Redesigned UI

Posted by kdawson on from the rethinking-it dept.

ceswiedler writes "Ars Technica's Ryan Paul previews the upcoming release of the GIMP. It will include a single-window mode where the user can dock toolbar windows and switch between images via tabs. There are other improvements as well, including docking support in multi-window mode and improvements to the text tool." To get this early preview, Paul compiled version 2.7.1 from the active development branch, along with its dependencies.

    Let me make some suggestions then:

    Professional Image Manipulation Program
    Streamlined Image Manipulation Program
    Windowed Image Manipulation Program
    Lightspeed Image Manipulation Program

    I would think all the pros would just leap at the change to PIMP their graphics.
