In this video, I provide an overview of the 5 best or most exciting features coming to the highly-anticipated GIMP 3.0 release! These are my 5 favorite new features coming to GIMP 3.0, including non-destructive editing, smart guides, and CMYK support.
Ah. So gimp is going to stop being 15 years out of date and instead going to be just 10 years out of date. Cool.
Non destructive editing? Object snapping? Font Outlines? i honestly didn’t know gimp couldn’t do thay :o these basic features all seem like they should ve been added 10 years ago
I’m super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I’m sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise “scrolling” to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I’m not here for it.
To be honest, complaining that “half of the information” is in a video form is so stupid. Stick to the written sources and be happy that the other half of the information is supplied the way you want it.
Obviously there is a market for video content, and there is probably as many people liking it as disliking it. I am a dyslexictic person that can understand and remember way better when I am spoon fed the information instead of struggle through a long blog post or news site.
Please be open minded that we are different.
Video gets higher engagement. If you want your information to be consumed, video is a better bet.
That will not stop every video from having a top comment complaining about it though.
I prefer written content myself. But, as you say, I am happy for content in whatever form I can get it. I did not pay for it. How it is generated and shared is not up to me.
Soon I hope, we will have a bot that transcribes every video. Then that can be the top comment instead of the endless complaining.
For all the shortcomings of AI, and specially of Google’s Gemini model, its YouTube integration is really good for this, even more so on Android where you can set it as your default assistant and ask a question about the video you’re currently watching without having to switch apps.
Asking for a bullet point list, it gave me this:
- Nondestructive editing
- Dynamic guides or smart guides
- CMYK support
- Outline text
- Multi-layer features and layer sets
Depends on the context. We’re talking about an image editor, so showing a demo of the features in video form is helpful.
Ok, but have they fixed the UI scaling on high-DPI displays?
The Fx pipelines are fucking sick! Finally I can depricate my meme-text script!
