The Gimp 2.2.0

Op de website van The GIMP Team is sinds kort versie 2.2.0 beschikbaar van The Gimp, wat een afkorting is voor GNU Image Manipulation Program. Het is een open source fotobewerkingsprogramma wat beschikbaar is voor het Windows-, MacOS X- en Unix-platform. De volledige release notes zijn op deze pagina te vinden, maar dit zijn de belangrijkste vernieuwingen:

Major changes

• Previews for transform tools
• Previews for many plugins that didn't have them, and improved previews for many that did.
  Preview now can resize and contain a navigation popup just like the main image window.
• Many user interface changes to improve layout of dialogs, and comply more closely with Human Interface Guidelines.
• Greatly improved drag-and-drop between GIMP and other applications.
• Improved ability to copy and paste between GIMP and other applications, including OpenOffice and Abiword.
• New file open/save dialogs. The open dialog does automatic thumbnailing, using embedded EXIF thumbnails if available.
• Much content covered by the help.
• A new script interpreter, Tiny-fu, which will eventually replace Script-fu. Shipped separately
• A new keyboard shortcut editor, allowing shortcuts to be defined for many more things than before, including many actions that don't have menu entries.
• Interface for controlling various parameters with a variety of devices. Allow keyboard, mouse wheel, MIDI controller, etc to be used as a GIMP controller.
• New plugins: neon, cartoon, photocopy, softglow, dog, retinex, glob.
