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.

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. 😅

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

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.

Please, RC1 gets released before december lol

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

God idk what version I'm even using. I never update programs like this unless I have to. From breaking things, to confusing my workflow and moving things around; I've always been more frustrated than thankful. I haven't updated Reaper in ages too and I'm certain they're better about keeping continuity than anyone.

Edit: lol people are mad about my own software updating habits? why and how are .worlders this way? I can't imagine the realities they live in, and am glad so

You posted something that's bad practice (for many reasons, including security). Like, nobody cared about your software habits until you posted them publically with no prompting. probably so you could act smug after getting downvoted.

On the other hand, why did you feel the need to share this? Generally you are decreasing your security by this practice, and it's not a good idea for others to adopt it. And no, you don't need to understand security models and specific exploits for them to harm you

If you scream into the void, sometimes, the void screams back. How is that surprising?

Idk. I agree that it's a bad practice, but I also don't understand the downvotes. I think in this context it's valid to share your preference whether to update or not. Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)
