From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which would you think will come out first?

GIMP 3.0 or GTA 6?

Getting very close?

At this point they should just have that announcement when they actually have the thing.

If it can get non-destructive editing by when 3.2 comes out say… 2030, I’ll be happy.

[–] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

There’s non-destructive editing in 2.99. Not everything is non-destructive though, such as rotating and scaling. But most colors and filters are.

Naïve me it college hearing non-destructive editing was right around the corner. The corner was well over a decade. 😅

believe it when I see it

It's still doing better than Krita - which I had to bail on because its levels tool doesn't support setting the white point.

any day now, i swear

[–] RightEdofer@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

I can’t wait till graphite.rs adds raw image support. Adjustment layers were something needed a decade ago. Gimp can do what it wants but I moved on to DarkTable a long time ago for actual image editing. I’m not convinced the project will be able to keep up with other apps with its current organization and dismissive attitude toward design.

Wonder if 3.0 will finally fix alpha levels.

[–] Kristof12@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please, RC1 gets released before december lol

[–] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Fedora 41 is shipping the 2.99 version. And naturally will update to RC1 and later once they release.
