Today we released GIMP 3.2 with major new features, including vector layers, link layers (smart objects), DDS BC7 export, better PSD import including PSB for large images, MyPaint 2.0 brushes, and much more!

@GIMP I have to try gimp

[walkermatt@mastodon.social]

@GIMP vector layers sounds like it could be similar to Macromedia Fireworks?

[gimp@floss.social]

@walkermatt haha it’s been too long to remember, sorry! but in GIMP the vector layers build on paths.

[walkermatt@mastodon.social]

@GIMP looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks to everyone involved.

@humbird0 @GIMP Yes, that's exactly what link layers are. And you should be able to scale each link layer independently of the others.

@humbird0 @GIMP the use of the word hogtied, especially discussing a program called GIMP, will never not be hilarious to me

[reallylazybear@mastodon.social]

@GIMP Nice

[va3dso@mastodon.social]

@GIMP Although I still have misgivings about the name of this project, I do very much appreciate the power and capability provided by it.

@GIMP Congratulations!

@GIMP@floss.social Thank you! 🫡

@nieuemma @humbird0 @GIMP, imagine being hogtied to GIMP

[kubofhromoslav@esperanto.masto.host]

@humbird0 @GIMP, generally, there are ways to accelerate development of @GIMP, notably coding and donating to developers.

[kubofhromoslav@esperanto.masto.host]

@GIMP, congratulation and many thanks for another great release with essential improvements. Vector and link layers are eating up the cake of non-libre graphic software, so we all can be more free

[julianh@mas.to]

@GIMP Awesome stuff, with vector layers merged does this mean a circle/shape tool is coming soon?

[cmykstudent@fosstodon.org]

@julianh @GIMP It *is* a possible GSoC project, so maybe! https://developer.gimp.org/core/internship/ideas/#implement-a-shape-tool

[adam_wysokinski@fediscience.org]

@GIMP Got one in #Debian Testing. Great release!

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@GIMP@floss.social congrats!

[azurekingfisher@mastodon.art]

@GIMP oh, you still keep that ableist name. Can't look at the new version then.
