GIMP 3.2 Released

13 mars 2026 à 19:00

We’re happy to present the first release of GIMP 3.2! This marks a year of design, development, and testing from volunteers and the community, as part of our plan to streamline releases after GIMP 3.0. We’re excited for you to see the new features that version 3.2 offers!

Highlights

Here are some of the many highlights to look out for as you start using GIMP 3.2:

  • New non-destructive layers!

    • You can now use Link Layers to incorporate external image as part of your compositions, easily scaling, rotating, and transforming them without losing quality or sharpness. The link layer’s content is updated when the source file is modified
    • The Path tool can now create Vector Layers, which lets you draw shapes with adjustable fill and stroke settings.
  • The MyPaint Brush tool has been upgraded, adding 20 new brushes, and it now automatically adjusts to your canvas zoom and rotation for more dynamic painting.

  • A new Overwrite paint mode allows you to draw over existing colors without blending their transparency.

  • The on-canvas Text Editor has a number of workflow improvements. Among them, you can now move it as needed across the canvas and utilize many common shortcuts such as Ctrl + B for bold text and Shift + Ctrl + V for pasting unformatted text. The Text Outline feature also includes more options to control the direction of the outline.

  • New file format support and improvements to existing formats, such as DDS BC7 export and more layer styles imported for PSDs. Thanks to vector layers, we now also support SVG export and expanded vector options in PDF export.

  • A variety of UX and UI improvements, based on your feedback and our design team’s efforts. To list a few:

    • Options to make the brush thumbnails use theme colors for previews, for a nicer experience in dark themes
    • Ability to drag and drop images onto the image tab to open in GIMP
    • Keyboard shortcut support for the Shear and Flip tools
    • New System color scheme that automatically matches GIMP’s theme color scheme to the one you set for your OS
  • The CMYK color selector now shows the Total Ink Coverage for your color, helping you adjust during soft-proofing based on your printer’s ink coverage limit.

  • For script and plug-in developers, a new GEGL Filter browser has been added to make it easier to find non-destructive filters to use.

Learn More

We’ve prepared release notes to go over all the changes, improvements, new features, and more. And if you’d like even more details, you can peruse the NEWS changelog for all 3.1 and 3.2 development releases.

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you for your support and your donation! And many thanks to all the people involved in helping Linux Mint.

Here’s a preview of what we worked on recently, and which will be featured in the next release.

Sensors

A page dedicated to sensors was added to the System Reports tool.

This page lists all the sensors detected on the computer and refreshes their value automatically.

This is typically used to keep an eye on fan speed and temperatures. It can be useful to troubleshoot power modes, battery lifetime, etc.

The list of sensors depends on the manufacturer. Some computers don’t show a lot of information, some do.

Cinnamon Screensaver and Wayland

The new Cinnamon screensaver is ready, and there’s a lot of good news coming along with it!

Until now Cinnamon had a dedicated screensaver program called “cinnamon-screensaver”, which ran alongside it as a separate process within the session. This screensaver was written in Python and in C, it used the GTK toolkit, and it was designed for Xorg.

It looked nice and it worked pretty well but it had issues:

  • It didn’t work in Wayland
  • The transition between the desktop and the screensaver was not smooth
  • Despite a modern codebase, it was complex in terms of design, mainly because it inherited features from the GNOME 2 era, which are largely unnecessary nowadays

The new screensaver isn’t a separate process. It’s Cinnamon itself handling things directly, locking the screen natively with its own toolkit and widgets.

Here’s another screenshot of it, with some of the UI improvements Joseph is working on.

The first thing you’ll notice is the native look and the smooth animation.

The biggest gain of course is the full compatibility with Wayland. Whether or not we want to default to Wayland in the future is a different topic, but we certainly want to have the option on the table. With this new screensaver, the next Cinnamon release will be Wayland compatible.

Screensavers are very important. They need to look good, they need to work well, and they cannot under any circumstance fail to protect the user’s privacy. If the screensaver was to crash, the session still needs to be locked. There’s an extra process dedicated to hiding the screen when that happens. It worked well with cinnamon-screensaver but it took a lot of testing to make sure it did. It works well with the new screensaver also, but it will take time to make sure it’s tested properly both in Xorg and in Wayland. For that reason, even though cinnamon-screensaver will eventually be discontinued, the next Cinnamon will be able to work with either the new or the old screensaver.

Now here’s a little anecdote from our development team. Although the native screensaver has a much smoother transition than the old one, we encountered the very same papercut bug we’ve had for decades on the old screensaver: What looked like a random race condition, which results in the session being briefly visible before the screensaver appears on resume or lid-open. We tried and failed to fix this issue for years, and as we worked on the new screensaver we just realized what was causing it. It’s fixed now, not only for the new screensaver, but after extensive testing also as an update to the old one….

.. so what changed? Why couldn’t we fix this before? The answer is complexity. When we’re dealing with something that happens all the time, even when we don’t understand why it happens, we can change things and see if it continues to happen. This makes it easy to find the cause, and once we’ve a solution, to make sure the solution works. When the bug is random and only happens “sometimes” we’ve no reliable way or finding the cause or testing the solution. This was a random bug in a scenario which involved:

  • The window-manager
  • The screensaver
  • Xorg
  • Logind

It could happen on suspend or hibernation. It could also happen as the result of a timeout, which could lock the screen, or not, or a lid-close event. We handle about 6 different overlapping timers for maybe 4 different ways of turning off the screen, starting the screensaver, locking it, suspending… it’s a huge mess. I didn’t try to calculate how many different scenarios are at play here, but there are way more than just “dozens” 🙂

While I was testing the new screensaver I came across the issue again. This time the window-manager and the screensaver were one and the same, so 3 components instead of 4. We weren’t asking Xorg to stack a new window also… and we managed to reproduce the issue with just locking the screen (i.e. with no logind intervention). This really helped pin-point the issue. In the end it had to do with power-saving and asking Xorg to turn off the screen. For some reason this makes Xorg fail to render events, so even though the screen is indeed locked, the frames don’t update on the screen just before it goes off, and it all happens later after the screen turns on again. It’s a rendering bug.

This is a good lesson for us because it shows us how supporting too many niche features and too many use cases can lead to critical bugs which affect everyone for a decade. I couldn’t explain in layman terms what each of the timers do in the Cinnamon screensaver and power preferences, and that’s a problem. We inherited these configuration options from a time when people had no laptops and their desktop monitors were subject to screen burn. Fast forward 10-15 years and we’re dealing with laptops used outside of homes, where “saving” the screen is irrelevant but “locking” it became paramount.

Back in the days, the main features were to animate the screen to prevent screen burn and allow that to happen before turning off the screen because that took time to wake up. Nowadays we’re in a completely different situation, it’s all about locking it and once it’s locked we want to see our battery level, our multimedia controls, we want to be able to access the on-screen keyboard, switch layout, use the fingerprint reader etc.. 

We’ll go one step at a time here. The next Cinnamon release will keep the exact same configuration options, introduce the new screensaver and keep compatibility as a fallback with the older one. The release after that will abandon the old screensaver, review all use cases and simplify how and when the screen gets locked.

GIMP 3.2 RC3: Third Release Candidate for GIMP 3.2

1 mars 2026 à 18:00

We’re excited to release the third release candidate of GIMP version 3.2! It contains a number of bug fixes and final polishes as we prepare the first stable release of GIMP 3.2.

GIMP 3.2 RC3: splash screen
Third release candidate splash screen by Mark McCaughrean - CC BY-SA 4.0 - GIMP 3.2 RC3

Release Highlights

This release represents the completion of nearly a year’s worth of development and design work, as well as our GIMP 3.2 roadmap. The complete changelog can be found in our NEWS section of the repository.

We hope for this to be the final release candidate before the first stable release, so we ask for your help in testing and reporting any remaining bugs you encounter.

New Splash Screen

Dr. Mark McCaughrean has graciously created a third splash screen for this release (see image at the top) based on his processed photograph of the “Dragon Jet” HH288 protostellar outflow system.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. McCaughrean for the three splash screens he has created for the 3.2 release candidates. It will be tough decision to select the one to use for the final GIMP 3.2!

Non-Raster Layers

GIMP 3.2 has three kinds of “non-raster” layers - the new link and vector layers in addition to the existing text layers. A lot of behind-the-scenes work has been done by Jehan to standardize how all of these layer types handle “destructive” actions, such as painting and merging down layer masks. You should now be better protected from accidentally altering these layers destructively, unless you intentionally rasterize them (and if you change your mind, you can easily revert that process to restore the original layer).

As a result of this work, we also have a small new feature. Previously, you could drag and drop a color swatch on a text layer to change its color. Alx Sa extended this behavior to vector layers - now you can drag either a color or pattern swatch to change its fill!

Color Operations

As part of Jehan‘s continued work to improve GIMP’s color correctness, the Levels, Curves, Equalize, and White Balance filters now default to Linear precision while allowing for other color precision modes to be set. This fixes several inconsistencies in how these filters operate in both the GUI and via scripting.

UX / UI Improvements

  • We’ve refined the logic of when the Welcome Dialog appears on start. If you intentionally open GIMP with an image (either by dragging and dropping it or opening via the command line), the Welcome Dialog will no long appear in front of the image. The only exception is the first time you open GIMP after an update, so you can see what has changed.

  • Alx Sa reordered the Hue Saturation GUI so that the Lightness slider is placed below the Saturation slider. While this is a small fix, it standardizes the order with all other places in GIMP where we have HSL settings.

  • The Flip tool can now be controlled with arrow keys, similar to the Move and Rotate transformation tools. When the Flip tool is selected, you can use the Left and Right arrows to flip the image horizontally, and the Up and Down arrows to flip it vertically.

  • The Shear tool can also now be adjusted with the arrow keys. Use the Left and Right arrows to shear your image horizontally, and the Up and Down arrows to do the same vertically.
    Like the Move tool, you can hold down Shift to shear with a larger value.

  • The GIMP_ICON_TEXTURE pattern has been removed from the background of the Navigation and Selection dockables. This should remove a source of visual irration from those dockables in dark mode.

  • The Delete button in the Layer dockable will now delete only the layer mask if it is selected, instead of always deleting the layer.

  • Jehan has refined the logic for color selection so that it is not impacted by the image when that wouldn’t make sense in context. For instance, you can now use the full color palette to set Grid colors, even if you’re working on an indexed image with a limited palette.

  • The Crop Tool now automatically adds transparency to a layer if you set it to fill with transparency and make a crop that’s larger than the current layer. Thanks to Michael Schumacher for the initial UX report!

  • Jacob Boerema adjusted our GUI code to prevent overly wide dialogs in places like the image export comment field and the Image Map guide pop-up.

  • Denis Rangelov added initial support for using the Global Menu on flatpak. You’ll need to set the GIMP_GTK_MENUBAR variable inside the Flatpak environment (as noted here) to use it for now.

File Formats

DDS

The DDS plug-in now supports exporting in BC7 format, as a complement to the BC7 import support added in GIMP 3.0. We use the bc7enc_rdo library developed by Rich Geldreich for the conversion.

JPEG2000

We fixed a bug in the JPEG 2000 export process which was causing the quality setting to be lower than what OpenJPEG allowed. This fix gives you more fine-grain control of the image export quality.

OpenEXR

New contributor Waris Maqbool improved our support for importing Luminance/Chroma OpenEXR images. Previously we only imported the grayscale luminance channel, but thanks to their efforts we now also support the YR and YB color channels.

Procreate Swatches

You can now import palette swatches from the Procreate art program. This support was added by our resident file format fan Alx Sa after seeing a teammate use it during the Global Game Jam and finding that they couldn’t open the palette in GIMP!

Swatchbooker Palettes

We improved our existing support for this palette format by adding any attached color profiles to the imported palettes.

XMC

Longtime contributor Michael Schumacher has made several improvements to our XMC plug-in. In addition to updating several aspects and fixing warnings, he has also added protections to prevent it from modifying layer names in the original project when exporting as XMC.

WebP

We improved the code for Lossless WebP export to ensure that some of the “lossy” settings defined in the GUI didn’t impact the lossless image quality.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Anders Jonsson has corrected the default color in the Fog filter for linear color conversion.

  • Bruno Lopes fixed a regression in our Camera RAW plug-ins that caused them to not work on macOS.

  • Sample Point modes are now correctly copied over when duplicating an image.

  • programmer_ced improved our flatpak build to use HOST_XDG_CONFIG_HOME for its configuration location. This should make it more intuitive for flatpak users to find where to put third-party plug-ins and where to retrieve various settings.

  • Alx Sa upgraded the Histogram Editor. It can now handle pixel counts for much larger images - in theory, up to both widths and heights of 4 billion!

  • Jacob Boerema fixed a bug on Windows where Gradient Flare presets wouldn’t be loaded.

  • The Round Corners filter now uses your current background color for the fill, instead of always using the default color.

  • Anders Jonsson diagnosed and fixed an issue with the alignment of our transform anchor points GUI in the System theme.

  • We made a number of fixes to non-destructive filters, especially related to the scaling and cropping of Render style filters. New contributor balooii fixed a bug that could occur when undoing filters applied to individual channels.

  • Jehan corrected a bug where the pressure curve did not show in the input device manager on certain platforms.

  • New contributor Kaushik B fixed a bug that caused warnings in plug-ins when creating number input buttons with small min and max ranges.

Fancier .dmg and Windows installer; and sturdier .appimage

Noticeable improvements have been made to our macOS package. In short, Bruno Lopes designed a custom icon for the mounted .dmg on the desktop. He also scripted the generation of custom .dmg background matching the splash screen for each release.

Background for GIMP 3.2 RC3 macOS DMG Installer
Background for GIMP 3.2 RC3 macOS DMG Installer - GIMP 3.2 RC2

Similar scripts were made for the Windows installer which will also feature part of the splash image, automatically extracted at build time.

Also, some important fixes have been made by Bruno to our AppImage package. It should work again on AArch64 (it stopped working after our move to Debian 13), and support for third-party plugins (built for Debian 13) is hopefully fixed.

API

  • Thanks to work by Alx and Jehan, the Curve-Bend plug-in can now be used in scripts via its individual parameters as listed in the Procedure Browser. Previously, you needed to use a generic settings-data which combined several parameters in a single string. Both methods will work until GIMP 4, at which point we’ll retire the settings-data parameter.

  • The GimpColorScales and GimpColorSelect widgets are now introspectable, which means you can use their public functions in your plug-ins and scripts.

  • We’ve added gimp_config_get_xcf_version () and gimp_config_set_xcf_version () functions. These can be used when saving XCFs to target a specific version. Currently, we use this feature in GIMP to decide whether to save colors as the older GimpRGB format or the new colorspace-aware GeglColor.

  • Ondřej Míchal has improved the logic for setting bounds for integer-type GimpSpinScales.

  • As we continue to expand the GimpDrawableFilter API, we’ve marked a number of gimp_drawable_* () functions as deprecated. They will stay available until GIMP 4, but we recommend moving your filter code to use the GEGL filters directly instead of the older, dedicated wrapper functions.

  • You can now create GimpCurve objects in plug-ins. This allows you to add gimp:curves filters to layers and layer groups. As a result, we’ve deprecated gimp_drawable_curves_explicit () and gimp_drawable_curves_spline () since they can be replaced with the Curve filter directly. This work was done by Jehan and Alx Sa.

Here is an example of applying an inverted gimp:curves as non-destructive filter, on the blue channel in non-linear space, through the Python binding:

c = Gimp.Curve.new()
c.set_curve_type(Gimp.CurveType.FREE)
x = 0
while x <= 1.0:
  c.set_sample(x, 1.0 - x)
  x += 1 / c.get_n_samples()

filter = Gimp.DrawableFilter.new(layer, "gimp:curves", "")
config = filter.get_config()
config.set_property("curve", c)
config.set_property("channel", Gimp.HistogramChannel.BLUE)
config.set_property("trc", Gimp.TRCType.NON_LINEAR)
layer.append_filter(filter)

Security

This release also contains fixes for possible exploits in some of our file loading plug-ins. We appreciate security reports from the Zero Day Initiative and individuals such as JungWoo Park and wooseokdotkim, and the work of developers like Jacob Boerema to patch them. The fixes include those for:

  • ZDI-CAN-28232
  • ZDI-CAN-28599
  • ZDI-CAN-28265
  • ZDI-CAN-28530

Around GIMP

Website

If you ever encountered a 404 Missing Page error on our website, you would have noticed our cute Wilber animation! This was work by the animation film director Aryeom, created as a hand-made SVG+SMIL animation by Aryeom and Jehan back in 2016.

As our logo design was updated in GIMP 3 (which by the way is also work by Aryeom, with feedback by the whole team), a refresh to this animated SVG, using the new Wilber, has been initiated by Bruno Lopes. Additional refinements were made by Aryeom Han and Jehan.

Since we hope you won’t normally see this page (and if you do, please report the broken link), here’s what it looks like (if you missed it, force-refreshing the page should work, or just go to any non-existing page to see the animation in proper context):

Translations

We have a new Cornish translation of GIMP, provided by Flynn!

Team News

Core team member Anders Jonsson got added to the i18n coordination team in GNOME Translation Project. He immediately sought to fix some of our longstanding bugs on the localization infrastructure. He is now starting to work on a working procedure for handling new language coordinators.

Google Summer of code

We are once again participating in the Google Summer of Code. This is an opportunity for potential new contributors (of any age!) to work with us to develop a new feature for GIMP. We have a list of suitable projects, but you are welcome to propose your own idea. Please reach out early so we can get to know you beforehand!

Downloading GIMP 3.2 RC3

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

There is no development release for the manual, but you can continue to use the existing GIMP 3.0 documentation.

Notes: packages on the Microsoft Store and Snap Store may be delayed as we wait for validations.

What’s next

We nearly thought that the RC2 would be the last release candidate, but it turned out we found more things we were not really happy with, for a stable version. And the more we fixed, the more it became clear that a RC3 was needed.

We are now in a state where we feel happy again. Of course, there are some things we would like to spend more time on, but we have to stop somewhere. Hopefully you will think the same! So as usual, we are calling for everyone to massively test this version 3.2.0 RC3. Please everyone, test and report any issue you find!

Depending on the testing feedback, we may get GIMP 3.2.0 out very soon!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

Hi everyone,

Before we start with the news, I’d like to thank you for your donations and for your support!

We received donations from more than a thousand people in December! I know I talked about this before, but I’ll do it again because this number of donors in a single month is unprecedented. I like to imagine that many people gathered together at the same time just to support our project. It’s humbling and incredibly motivating. I feel really proud of this community and delighted to see how happy you are with our work. Thank you so much to all of you!

Mint 22.3

Linux Mint 22.3 was a very good release. It came out later than we anticipated, but it was very well received. The beta phase was longer than usual, but it allowed us to gather feedback, address many issues, and review some of the choices made during that time, in particular around the newly introduced Cinnamon menu and keyboard layout/IM (Input Method) configuration.

Keyboard Layouts and IM

Work continues on improving input methods. It came to our attention that some users like to use layouts which do not match their physical keyboard when using IM. I spoke with someone who writes in both French and Japanese. I do this myself on an ANSI keyboard using French/US and Mozc. He has different keyboards on different machines, some ISO/French, some Japanese, and he doesn’t care about the physical layout. He just wants the logical layout to be French when writing French and Japanese when using Mozc.

This isn’t something we anticipated, but we want to support it going forward. We’re working on making it possible to set a specific keyboard layout when configuring an input method.

Forums

I’d like to apologize to our forum users for how slow and unreliable the forums were last month. The volume of traffic we receive is extremely high, and it’s mostly coming from AIs, bots, scripts, and web crawlers. It got to the point where our server couldn’t cope and people weren’t able to use the forums.

In addition to the Sucuri WAF, it took us a while to come up with an efficient way to filter bad traffic. If you’re getting 403 errors from the forums right now, please make sure your browser is up to date.

We upgraded the server to give it 10× the CPU capacity and twice the bandwidth.

Users and Account Details

For some reason most Linux desktop environments have come up with their own tools for user administration and account details. It’s a pity because this is typically an area which belongs to distributions and which cannot be and certainly isn’t properly handled by desktops. As a result these tools lack support for a lot of new use cases and they’re not well maintained.

In the next release, the Administration Tool (mintsysadm) will handle user administration and account details in editions where the desktop tools can be hidden.

 User management in mintsysadm focuses on the most common tasks. Once a user is set up, that user can set up a password and finalize the account without admin intervention. Home directory encryption, which until now was only supported during the OS installation, is fully supported during the creation of new user accounts.

Webcams are fully supported when taking selfies (i.e. you can see yourself before taking the snap, and decide whether to mirror the webcam or not).

Avatars come with full HiDPI support and look crisp on modern hardware.

Cinnamon Screensaver and Wayland

The Cinnamon screensaver only works in X11. It’s a standalone application which runs in its own process and uses the GTK toolkit. X11 is responsible for making sure it sits on top of Cinnamon’s window manager and hides the windows when the screen is locked.

One of the goals for the next Linux Mint release is to implement a new screensaver which will:

  • Replace the existing one
  • Work in both Wayland and X11
  • Be natively rendered by Cinnamon’s window manager (compositor)

The benefits are significant:

  • Smoother transition/animation during screen lock
  • Better integrated look and feel (We’ll be using the same toolkit as the one made for the panel, menus, applets)
  • Full Wayland support (This is the last missing piece of the puzzle for Cinnamon to fully support Wayland)

This is one of the big things we’re working on right now. I’m not showing you pictures yet until this is ready 🙂

Wayland support so far has been “experimental”. Once all the pieces are in place, we can support it and start testing it as a potential solution. We know there are pros and cons to X11 and Wayland, and we want to support both. Supporting Wayland doesn’t mean we’ll start using it by default, but it makes it a possibility. As always, we’ll end up using what works best for most users.

Longer Development Cycle

If we look back at the last ten years and the projects we invested resources in, we see two things. Well, I see two things anyway, I hope you’ll agree 🙂

I think one of our strengths is that we’re doing things incrementally and changing things slowly. We are introducing change and sometimes it annoys some of our users, but we’re doing it in a way that doesn’t radically affect who we are or the user experience we provide.

Another important strength of ours, as I see it, is that we value our independence and we are able to react and develop our own solutions when we’re not happy with the alternative. We made some bold moves in the past, sticking to LTS, rejecting Snap, developing alternatives to a new GNOME that didn’t feel like GNOME, and I’m really glad we did. These decisions weren’t easy to make and some of them cost a huge amount of time and resources to implement. But looking back, I think they were key. I think we’re first and foremost an operating system: a product, a user experience. We’re also a “distribution”, but we’re not just a distribution.

Whether we “distribute” (for instance with KDE) or we actively develop solutions (for instance with XApp and Cinnamon), we spend a lot of time in release management. Releasing often is important because it means we get a lot of feedback and bug reports when we introduce changes. We follow the same process over and over again. It’s a process that works very well and it produces these incremental improvements release after release. But it takes a lot of time, and it caps our ambition when it comes to development. With a release every six months plus LMDE, we spend more time testing, fixing, and releasing than developing.

We’re thinking about changing that and adopting a longer development cycle. As it happens, our next release will be based on a new LTS and we just ran out of codenames 🙂

Stay tuned, we’ll have more information on this. Obviously the codenames strategy doesn’t matter much, but we are very interested in adopting a longer development cycle.

GIMP 3.0.8 Released

23 janvier 2026 à 18:00

We are happy to announce the fourth micro-release GIMP 3.0.8! As we close in on the release of GIMP 3.2, we wanted to share with you what may be the last set of bugfixes for GIMP 3.0.

Release Highlights

Micro releases like 3.0.8 are focused on fixing bugs and regressions. While this news post is not an exhaustive list of all fixes, we wanted to highlight some of the ones with a more noticeable impact.

Font Loading Performance

Improvements in start-up time for users with a large number of fonts was backported from our 3.2 RC2 release. As a result, we now wait to load images until fonts are initialized - this prevents some occasional odd displays and other issues when an XCF file tried to access a partially loaded font.

For macOS users, we have special-cased the legacy Skia font, as we received reports that it did not behave properly with the Pango library we use to render fonts. You should now be able to use all fonts weights instead of just Bold.

Assorted updates and fixes

  • Daniel Plakhotich helped us identify an issue when exporting a lossless WEBP image could be affected by lossy settings (such as Quality being less than 100%). We’ve updated our WEBP plug-in to prevent this from happening.

  • Jehan fixed a bug in the Windows installer where text would be duplicated in certain languages.

  • René de Hesselle diagnosed an issue with font kerning on macOS, which was fixed by Jehan.

  • Because of differences in how different operating systems represent file paths, default color profiles were not being loaded correctly on start-up on Windows. This should now be fixed, though you may need to reassign your default color profiles in Preferences to clear out the older, incorrect file path.

  • Thanks to Jehan‘s efforts, the standard gimp-3.0 executable can now be run with a --no-interface flag instead of requiring users to call gimp-console-3.0 even on devices with no display. The --show-debug-menu flag is now visible as well.

  • programmer_ceds improved our flatpak by adding safe guards to show the correct configuration directory regardless of whether XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined on the user’s system. This should make it much easier for flatpak users to install and use third party plug-ins.

  • We fixed a rare but possible crash when using the Equalize filter on images with NaN values. Images that contain these are usually created from scientific or mapping data, so you’re unlikely to come across them in standard editing.

  • Jeremy Bicha fixed an internal issue where the wrong version number could be used when installing minor releases (such as the 3.2 release candidates and upcoming 3.2 stable release).

  • As noted in our 3.2RC2 news post, we have updated our SVG import code to improve the rendered path.

  • Further improvements have been made to our non-destructive filter code to improve stability, especially when copying and pasting layers and images with filters attached to them. Some issues related to applying NDE filters on Quick Masks have also been corrected.

  • An unintended Search pop-up that appeared when typing while the Channels dockable was selected has been turned off.

  • When saving XCFs for GIMP 2.10 compatibility, we unintentionally saved Grid color using the new color format. This caused errors when reopening the XCF in 2.10. This problem has now been fixed! If you encounter any other XCF incompatibility, please let us know.

Themes and UX

  • The Navigation and Selection Editor dockables no longer show a large bright texture when no image is actively selected. This was especially noticeable on dark themes.

  • When a layer has no active filters, the Fx column had the same “checkbox” outline when hovered over as the lock column. This led to confusion about clicking it to add filters. We have removed the outline on hover as a small step to help address this.

  • Ondřej Míchal fixed alignment and cut-off issues with the buttons on our Transform tool overlays. All buttons should now be properly centered and visible.

  • The options for filling layers with colors when resizing the canvas will be turned off when not relevant (such as when you set layers to not be resized).

  • More GUI elements such as dialog header icons will now respond to your icon size preferences.

  • Ondřej Míchal has continued his work to update our UI with the more usable Spin Scale widget. He has also updated the widget itself to improve how it works for users and developers alike.

Security fixes

Jacob Boerema and Gabriele Barbero continued to patch potential security issues related to some of our file format plug-ins. In addition to existing fixes mentioned in the release candidate news posts, the following exploits are now prevented:

  • ZDI-CAN-28232
  • ZDI-CAN-28265
  • ZDI-CAN-28530
  • ZDI-CAN-28591
  • ZDI-CAN-28599

Another potential issue related to ICO files with incorrect metadata was reported by Dhiraj. It does not have a CVE number yet, but it has been fixed for GIMP 3.0.8. Jacob Boerema also fixed a potential issue with loading Creator blocks in Paintshop Pro PSP images.

As part of GIMP 3.0.8, we also updated several dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities. Thanks to Bruno Lopes, our Windows installer now uses a newer version of Python due to several CVEs in Python 3.12.11. We also updated our SVG library librsvg 2.61.3 to prevent a possible NTLM authentication exploit when loading a malicious SVG.

API

For plug-in and script developers, a few new public APIs were backported to GIMP 3.0.8. gimp_cairo_surface_get_buffer () allows you to retrieve a GEGL buffer from a Cairo surface (such as a text layer). Note that this deprecates gimp_cairo_surface_create_buffer ().

gimp_config_set_xcf_version () and gimp_config_get_xcf_version () can be used to specify a particular XCF version for a configuration. This will allow you to have that data serialized/deserialized for certain versions of GIMP if there were differences (such as the Grid colors mentioned above).

Fixes were made for retrieving image metadata via scripting. GimpMetadata is now a visible child of GExiv2Metadata, so you can use standard gexiv2 functions to retrieve information from it.

Original thumbnail metadata is also now removed on export to prevent potential issues when exporting into a new format.

Packaging improvements on macOS

Bruno Lopes and Lukas Oberhuber worked on some packaging fixes for macOS:

  • Image Graph is now available (if GIMP is run with --show-debug-menu)
  • Thai language interfaces have proper word breaking
  • EPS and PS files can be opened again
  • Dialogs should receive focus again thanks to a patch on GTK3
  • GIMP icon is not tiny anymore on macOS 26 Tahoe (we plan to support Liquid Glass effects in the future)
  • Configuration migrations between GIMP 2.10 and 3.0 should be more robust now.

Help Manual

Our documentation maintainer Jacob Boerema has released a new version of the GIMP 3.0 help manual. Version 3.0.2 of the manual includes updated information on non-destructive filters, changes in the Align tool, and more. Updates to fifteen translations have been made as part of this release.

Special thanks to Sabri Ünal for their work in standardizing formatting across the help manual and reducing the need to retranslate duplicate text.

babl

Øyvind Kolås has released a new update for babl, our color space engine. Version 0.1.120 adds support for the x86_64-v4 microarchitecture for code optimizations.

Let’s not forget to thank all the people who help us triaging in Gitlab, report bugs and discuss possible improvements with us. Our community is deeply thankful as well to the internet warriors who manage our various discussion channels or social network accounts such as Ville Pätsi, Liam Quin, Michael Schumacher and Sevenix!

Note: considering the number of parts in GIMP and around, and how we get statistics through git scripting, errors may slip inside these stats. Feel free to tell us if we missed or mis-categorized some contributors or contributions.

Downloading GIMP 3.0.8

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

What’s Next

This might be the final release in the GIMP 3.0 series, unless some very ugly bug were to appear and we’d feel like making a better ending. We know indeed that some people are sometimes stuck longer on some series for various reasons (such as stable package policy in some Linux distributions, or because we do have to drop some platforms sometimes — which will soon be the case for 32-bit Windows by the way! —, and sometimes some people just prefer older GIMP!). Also we do introduce bugs with new feature code. Such is the life of software, either being stale and stabler, or evolving with higher risk of new bugs!

So whatever your reason, let’s make sure that you’ll have at least a very nice latest 3.0 build to get back too, if needed be. 😄

Now we are mostly focusing on the last few issues before starting the 3.2 series. We’ll get news about this soon.

In any case, we wish you all a very happy new Western year! May it be filled with a lot of joy, fun with GIMP too, and of course a healthy life. 🤗

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

How to upgrade to Linux Mint 22.3

It is now possible to upgrade Linux Mint 22, 22.1 and 22.2 to version 22.3.

If you’ve been waiting for this we’d like to thank you for your patience.

1. Create a system snapshot

You can use Timeshift to make a system snapshot before the upgrade.

If anything goes wrong, you can easily restore your operating system to its previous state.

Launch Timeshift from the application menu, follow the instructions on the screen to configure it and create a system snapshot.

2. Prepare for the upgrade

If you installed Cinnamon spices (applets, desklets, extensions, themes), upgrade them from the System Settings.

3. Upgrade the operating system

Upgrading to Linux Mint 22.3 is fast and easy.

In the Update Manager, click on the Refresh button to check for any new version of mintupdate or mint-upgrade-info. If there are updates for these packages, apply them.

Launch the System Upgrade by clicking on “Edit->Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.3 Zena”.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

If asked whether to keep or replace configuration files, choose to replace them.

4. Reboot the computer

Once the upgrade is finished, reboot your computer.

Commonly asked questions

  • If the upgrade is not available to you, check that you have the latest version of mint-upgrade-info (1.3.0 or higher) and restart the Update Manager by launching it again from the applications menu.
  • If the latest version of mint-upgrade-info is not yet available in your mirror, switch to the default repositories.
  • This happens rarely, but if you ever got locked and were unable to log back in, switch to console with CTRL+ALT+F2, log in, and type “killall cinnamon-screensaver” (or “killall mate-screensaver” in MATE). Use CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to your session.
  • Cinnamon Edition: The main menu was redesigned. To avoid using a mix of old and new settings we recommend you reset your menu settings after the upgrade. Upgrade, reboot, log back in then right-click your Cinnamon menu, “Configure…”, press the burger menu (top-right) and choose “Reset to defaults”.

Bugs banished – Inkscape 1.4.3 is out!

Expand Your Creative Universe by Chris Hildenbrand, Jobot, Ishaan Arora - CC-By-SA 4.0

Inkscape 1.4.3, with around 124 bug and crash fixes is one of the biggest minor release we've ever done.

Here's a summary of what to expect from the new release:

  • Almost 100 bug fixes and small improvements
  • 24 crash/freeze fixes, many of which prevented users from opening certain files or exporting certain objects with Inkscape 1.4.2
  • Improved PDF import
  • JPEG/JPG export works again on Windows
  • UI text should now always show up as real letters instead of rectangle-shaped placeholders ('tofu') on macOS
  • 23 updated interface languages and 12 updated documentation languages!

For more detailed information on the changes in 1.4.3, you can read the release notes.

Again, thanks to all Inkscape users and contributors for their support in identifying and flagging these critical issues for us through sending bug reports for our volunteer developers to examine and solve.

Should you experience an issue while using Inkscape, please let us know! We've put together a step-by-step video to help you post your first bug reports on Gitlab.

Built with the power of a team of mostly volunteers, this open source vector graphics editor represents the combined efforts, passion and work of many hearts and hands from around the world, ensuring that Inkscape remains available free for everyone to download and enjoy.

If you'd like to contribute to the project, you are more than welcome in our project's global community! You'll find the list of ways to connect with us here.

You can also help Inkscape to stay alive and evolve by making a donation.

Get Inkscape 1.4.3 for Linux, Windows or macOS!

GIMP 3.2 RC2: Second Release Candidate for GIMP 3.2

14 décembre 2025 à 18:00

After several weeks of bugfixes and polishing, we’re ready to share our second release candidate for GIMP 3.2!

As the GIMP team continues to close issues, the release of 3.2 gets nearer, with many new features, bug fixes and performance improvements. Please do continue to report problems you find to help us make GIMP as good as possible!

GIMP 3.2 RC2: splash screen
Second release candidate splash screen by Mark McCaughrean - GIMP 3.2 RC2

Release Highlights

While there are no major new features in this release, we do want to highlight some of the more impactful fixes and some minor updates. The full changelog can be read in our code repository.

You may also notice that we got a second splash screen image, also created and contributed by astronomer Mark McCaughrean. It is a shot of the same area of space as for the first splash image candidate, the “Trapezium Cluster & inner Orion Nebula”, again captured with the James Webb Space Telescope, but this time in the short-wavelength channel. The final 3.2 splash image shall be one of these two variants!

Removing Restrictions

In GIMP 2.10, you could not export an image unless you had a layer selected due to a limitation of our export API. Due to the improvements in GIMP 3.0, this is no longer required. Therefore, we’ve removed the code that prevents you from choosing the Save or Export options in the menu when there’s no layer selected.

Similarly, the Clipboard Brush and Clipboard Pattern previously had a size limit of 1024 pixels. This was because that was the largest safe value for 32 bit computers to handle. Since most users now have 64 bit computers, we’ve increased the limit to 8192 pixels for the 64 bit builds. This means artists can make and use much larger temporary brushes and patterns as they work.

Paths

GIMP has supported importing SVGs as paths for a long time. However, some SVG paths were shown incorrectly due to our import code being based on an older version of librsvg. Based on suggestions and assistance from Federico Mena Quintero, one of the lead developers of the library, we updated our code to better handle different types of SVG paths.

Paint Select Tool

The Paint Select tool has been in the test Playground section of GIMP since it was first developed by Thomas Manni in 2020. Recently, Jehan has begun reviewing it (and the Foreground Selection tool) as part of the planning for the GIMP 3.4 roadmap. He’s made a number of improvements already, both to the UI and to the tool’s performance.

Improving speed and feedback of experimental Paint Select tool - GIMP 3.2.0 RC2

Start-up time

We’ve received reports that GIMP takes a while to load for users with a large number of fonts. This includes our resident typographer, Liam Quin. They worked with Idriss Fekir to test a change to our font loading code that noticeably speeds up our loading time. This is an area we continue to work on, so if you notice any regressions, please let us know!

UX/UI

  • Ondřej Míchal and Jehan have improved spacing between buttons in the Transform tool overlays to make it easier to click the right one.

  • Notifications have been added to the Filter merge-down button when users try to merge down a filter on a non-raster layer.

  • Gabriele Barbero fixed the wording on our Keyboard Shortcuts dialog to more clearly explain how to change a shortcut.

  • Minor fixes have been made to the theme to prevent issues on certain platforms.

Minor Updates

  • Jehan finished the stylus barrel rotation implementation in our earlier Mypaint Brush 2 port, connecting it to the Wheel value already recognized by GIMP. Note that very few styluses actually provide this feature, so it likely won’t impact your workflow unless you have one of the rare ones.

  • Thanks to Alx Sa, our PSD importer now loads legacy Outer Glow layer effects. The filter information was already loaded in the PSD plug-in during GIMP 3.0’s development, it just was not rendered before.

  • A long outstanding patch by Niels De Graef was finally merged to include a Bash completion file in GIMP. This feature shows the list of available options when pressing Tab in the command line. On a related note, the --show-debug-menu option is now visible in the command line --help option as well.

Minor Fixes

  • Anders Jonsson noticed that our default PostScript unit was changed from millimeters in GIMP 2.10 to inches in GIMP 3.0, without the size being adjusted to match. He fixed the default setting to load images at the right size.

  • Jacob Boerema fixed a bug for plug-in developers, where plug-ins set to be always available would not be usable when there was an open image with no layers added.

  • Jehan and Gabriele Barbero corrected a mistake made during vector layer development that caused the offsets not to be visible in the Layer Attributes dialog.

  • We now prevent loading XCF files as link layers when it will create an infinite loading cycle (if the linked XCF itself loads the initial XCF, at any level).

Security

Alx Sa and Gabriele Barbero have implemented fixes for the following Zero Day Initiative reported issues on some of our image plug-ins:

  • ZDI-CAN-28311
  • ZDI-CAN-28273
  • ZDI-CAN-28158

Build Process

Thanks to Jehan‘s work, babl and GEGL can now be compiled as relocatable! This is especially useful for builds where the build prefix is not the same as the runtime prefix. As a result, two bugs were fixed on the AppImage package: the GEGL filters are now fully localized and the third-party GEGL filters can now be found and used on those environments.

He also fixed a bug that affected not only the AppImage but other environments too: the language list sometimes was not being displayed translated in the Preferences dialog. Now, when building GIMP, it will instruct packagers to prevent that.

A user named Kruthers contributed a fix for a long-standing bug on AppImage: the inability to run CLI commands that point to relative paths. Thanks to their fix, the AppImage is now even more on par with a regular installation of GIMP.

Bruno re-implemented support for building GIMP on Windows with the MSVC compiler, which is now possible due to the existence of the clang-cl wrapper (we used to have direct MSVC support, without a wrapper, but it stopped working). As a result, we now have build logs about correct Windows API usage etc. But note that we will not distribute MSVC binaries, because, after all, they mostly depend on MSYS2 due to vcpkg design which has much fewer features. In short, MSYS2 is still the recommended way to build GIMP on Windows.

GEGL and babl

Øyvind Kolås has released new updates to babl and GEGL, the underlying color management engines for GIMP.

As noted above, babl 0.1.118 and GEGL 0.4.66 have been updated to be compiled as relocatable. In addition, a number of contributors have done some code clean-up and build process updates to GEGL.

Around GIMP

Books

Sabri Ünal has been hard at work updating our books page. In addition to historial books about prior versions of GIMP, we now have listings for several GIMP 3 books. If you know of any books on GIMP that we’re missing, please let us know!

Note: We are not interested in listing or promoting books that are generated from GenAI. Please check if the book was authored by a person before submitting. Thanks!

Downloading GIMP 3.2 RC2

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

There is no development release for the manual, but you can continue to use the existing GIMP 3.0 documentation.

What’s next

This is nearly it! We are so close to GIMP 3.2 release that we can feel it in the air. When I first introduced the new accelerated release policy, I was both confident and wary of falling short. In the end, I’m quite satisfied; it really worked out well for this first iteration. 😄

Considering how few reports of major issues we had during this RC1, this might be the last release candidate, though only the coming period will tell. Sometimes people, mistaking us for a corporation, ask us about quality assurance policy or the like. Well we are not a company, we are a community and our QA is the world, it’s me, you, anyone. Therefore we really really enjoin everyone to test this development version and report any issue you find, especially if it feels like it should be a blocker issue.

Among the few things which come to mind, I had to touch and reorganize our XCF-loading code for detecting link layer cycles; and as you may imagine, this is a very sensitive area of our codebase. So we welcome massive testing in file loading and link layer creation during this RC2 phase, in order to detect any regression!
And of course, any deep testing, especially of the new link and vector layers, but also of any other major feature you are often using will be very appreciated. We want to avoid both releasing broken new features, and adding regressions to existing features.

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger! Wouldn’t it be fitting with the coming holiday season? 🎁🎄🤗

In the meantime, we’ll continue to work hard for delivering GIMP 3.2.0 soon, and wish you all a very nice holiday season and a lot of fun and joy with family and friends! 🥳🍾🥰

GIMP 3.2 RC1: First Release Candidate for GIMP 3.2

16 novembre 2025 à 18:00

We’re thrilled to share our first release candidate for GIMP 3.2! It represents a major step in our roadmap, and months of hard work by contributors. We look forward to your feedback as we move towards the stable release of GIMP 3.2! Note that this is still a development snapshot, not yet a final release: please do report any problems or crashes you find.

New Splash Screen

GIMP 3.2 RC1: splash screen
New release candidate splash screen by Mark McCaughrean - GIMP 3.2 RC1

Our super cool 3.2 release candidate splash screen was created by astronomer Mark McCaughrean!

It shows the Orion Nebula at infrared wavelengths made using the James Webb Space Telescope, and is one of his many photographs of space, processed in GIMP as an important tool in his workflow.

As with our previous splash artist Sevenix, we will have an interview with him detailing his design process and motivation that we hope to share in the near future.

Release Highlights

This news post will cover some of the main updates since our last development release. If you haven’t already tested out GIMP 3.1.2 and 3.1.4, we encourage you to read over the prior news posts to see the other new features and fixes. As always, the full changelog can be seen in the NEWS section of our repo.

Link and Vector Layer Updates

We’ve made a number of bugfixes and improvements to the new link and vector layers, thanks to your feedback from GIMP 3.1.4. Jehan in particular has been focused on internal updates and UI improvements for both features. The “Rasterize” and “Revert Rasterize” operations have been made much clearer, allowing for easy changes between different states. These changes apply to text layers as well, since they are a type of vector layer too.

We discovered that link layer monitoring was not working on Windows due to a bug in the GLib library. Jehan has submitted an upstream patch with a proper fix, but for now we have a temporary workaround so that this feature works on Windows.

Text Editor

Gabriele Barbero has continued his work on the text editor from his Google Summer of Code project. One major aspect has finally been merged - the ability to move the on-canvas editor across the screen! This allows you to move it out of the way while working on close-up text, without having to hide it in the tool options. You can also click the reset button on the editor to place it back in its original position.

On-Canvas text editor UI can now be dragged - GIMP 3.2.0 RC1

Idriss Fekir has continued their work on making text editing more robust. They’ve updated the internal code to support text rendering even on very large dimensions.

Also, a new patch by Lleu Yang lets you use Shift + Ctrl + V in the on-canvas editor to paste unformatted text. This follows a previous update that added a shortcut for Bold, Italics, and Underline styling.

Swap Tools shortcut

Jehan revived one of his older projects and added support for swapping between your current tool and the previous one you used. By default, you can press Shift + X to switch back and forth between your paintbrush and eraser while drawing. Of course, you can also change the shortcut with the Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

This new feature also allows us to help with a common point of confusion. Internally, GIMP considers filters to be a tool just like the rotate or airbrush tools. This means that when you’re applying a Brightness-Contrast filter to your image, you’re actually “switching” to the Brightness-Contrast tool.

Thanks to Jehan‘s update, we now automatically switch back to your prior tool once the filter is applied, which we believe is more in-line with what users expect to happen.

Non-destructive filters

We continue to update our non-destructive filter code. One request we’ve received a few times is for “adjustment layers” - layers where you can apply a filter and have it affect all layers below it. We do not have this as an official concept since it would be a GUI duplicate of layer effect, yet you can now simulate adjustment layers with layer groups!

Set an empty layer group to “Pass through” and then apply filters to it - since Pass through groups cover all layers below, by definition, this is basically the same as what is commonly called adjustment layers. Furthermore, you can add a mask to the layer group and adjust the render to only cover certain areas.

UX/UI Improvements

We continue to work with users and designers on our UX repo to improve GIMP’s user experience. While a lot of smaller adjustments have been made since 3.1.4, there’s also been several larger updates.

  • GIMP was first created with a multi-window interface, with each image shown in a separate window. You could drag and drop a file onto the floating toolbox to open it as a new image. Single Window mode introduced an image tab bar to show all of your open images. We have now connected that tab bar to the drag and drop code, so you can easily open multiple images by dragging them over to the image tab bar and releasing!

  • Ondřej Míchal has been on a mission to replace many of our Spin Entry widgets with the newer Spin Scale.

  • You can now drag and drop color swatches from the Color History. This was always intended, but previously did not work because the color history buttons grabbed focus instead of the color history swatch.

  • Gabriele Barbero further improved our macOS port by restoring missing features to the App Menu. Now macOS users have options to hide GIMP, hide other applications, and to check the related services. Additionally, the macOS “Quit” command is now connected to our closing code, which will reduce the chance of losing unsaved data on exit.

  • The Document History dockable is now multi-selection aware. You can select multiple image previews and either open or remove all of them at once.

  • Denis Rangelov developed a new design for our image toggle buttons (seen in places such as the Mode section of the Move and Selection tools). This redesign more clearly groups the buttons together visually, so you know that they’re toggle buttons and that only one can be selected at a time.

  • When typing hex colors in the Color Selector dialog, the selected color will automatically update as soon as you enter a valid text. This removes the need to press Enter whenever you type a new color.

Plug-ins

Support for a few new image formats have been added, and updates to existing formats have been made during the last stretch of our 3.2 RC1 development.

SVG

With the addition of vector layers in GIMP, we can now export SVG as actual vectors. Our new exporter allows raster layers to be optionally embedded as either PNGs or JPEG. We hope this will encourage further workflow collaboration with Inkscape, a fantastic vector graphics editing program that we highly recommend!

Note that currently our SVG import plug-in still rasterizes the imported vectors. We are looking into ways of fixing this (it would likely require to change our dependency library to read SVG) - if you’d like to help, please reach out!

PDF

Similarly, the PDF plug-in now exports vector layers as actual vectors. This means that those layers can be further edited in other vector graphics software. The “Fill with Background Color” option has also been extended to work on all layers of a multi-layer PDF, instead of just the first one.

PVR

We’ve added support for importing PowerVR (PVR) texture files. This format is most commonly used for SEGA Dreamcast games and mods.

Compression

We had a long-standing request to support importing hgt.zip images, which were recorded by NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). As a side effect, we now support loading any supported image that’s compressed by our standard compression algorithms (previously this was only officially used by our compressed XCF project files).

API

  • One of the major updates in GIMP 3.0 for plug-in developers was the auto-generated GUIs - you can easily make a dialog with widgets just by defining your input variables! However, a few datatypes were not implemented in the original release. For GIMP 3.2, we’ve added GimpImage and GimpItem widgets to GimpProcedureDialog. The new widgets look similar to the existing layer and channel widgets.

  • Work on the SVG export feature required us to add many additional public API commands for text, vector, and link layers. You can see the full list in our NEWS section under API, or by checking the Procedure Browser under the Help menu in GIMP itself.

Security

The Zero Day Initiative regularly reviews applications to find potential vulnerabilities and report them. Jacob Boerema and other contributors have responded to and fixed the following reports:

  • ZDI-CAN-27684
  • ZDI-CAN-27863
  • ZDI-CAN-27878
  • ZDI-CAN-27836
  • ZDI-CAN-27823
  • ZDI-CAN-28376
  • ZDI-CAN-28248

Additional Changes

  • Sabri Ünal and Luzpaz have been reviewing our GUI and standardizing capitalization and grammar of the user interface.

  • Aruius fixed a bug where some full-color brushes were not mirrored properly when Symmetry modes were set.

  • Bruno Lopes reworked our console output code on Windows to work just like Linux and macOS. This means you can run GIMP from CMD or PowerShell and see all output messages there.

  • Lukas Oberhuber created a new format for our color drag and drop code. We previously used application/x-color when our color code was sRGB only. Now that we pass the colorspace information as well, this is not sufficient. While it only caused visible problems on macOS (to our knowledge), it’s good to use the proper standard for all platforms.

Dark mode on Windows installer

Our .exe installer is now gorgeous when you run it on Windows 10/11 with Dark Mode enabled. This is not only due to the new splash screen, which is used on the Installer too, but also thanks to the triaging work done by Jernej Simončič and Bruno Lopes in tandem with Inno Setup developers on the Inno Setup 6.6.0 development cycle.

Windows installer, installation directory selection page

That Inno Setup version we use on 3.2.0-RC1 and subsequent installers supports automatic Dark Mode natively. While very few changes were done to our GIMP packaging scripts, we can’t stop praising the incredible work done by Martijn Laan, main Inno Setup developer, on Google Groups after our small feedback. Just run the .exe and give it a try.

Let’s not forget to thank all the people who help us triaging in Gitlab, report bugs and discuss possible improvements with us. Our community is deeply thankful as well to the internet warriors who manage our various discussion channels or social network accounts such as Ville Pätsi, Liam Quin, Michael Schumacher and Sevenix!

Note: considering the number of parts in GIMP and around, and how we get statistics through git scripting, errors may slip inside these stats. Feel free to tell us if we missed or mis-categorized some contributors or contributions.

Around GIMP

GIMP developer website refreshed

As we noted on our previous news about GIMP Developer website, the GIMP Developer website has been completely rewritten to use modern web technologies so it is easier to maintain (and to look prettier). But due to the enormous amount of content to be migrated and the limited human resources we have, the process took longer than expected.

Now, finally, thanks to Bruno Lopes, who has been working on reviewing the dozens of pages of the Developer website to be kept up to date (and recently has been commiting changes to address its UI), we believe that you can navigate the site more easily.

Screenshot of 'Submit your first patch' page

This new theme, called “Hextra”, allows us to have a search bar and the much requested navigation menu. It also adds a link Edit this page on GitLab → to every page, so you can contribute fixes more directly.

You will notice that it looks a bit like the main GIMP website, and that’s because we modified it to follow the same visual identity designed by Pat David, making use of the same color palette and fonts.

Downloading GIMP 3.2 RC1

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

There is no development release for the manual, but you can continue to use the existing GIMP 3.0 documentation.

Notes:

  • The Microsoft Store release may be delayed as we wait for the certification process to finish.
  • macOS packages should be uploaded shortly.

What’s next

We had mentioned our accelerated release policy when releasing GIMP 3.0.0. Well I’m not sure if many people actually thought we’d manage to stick to the schedule! Yet here we are, barely 8 months after GIMP 3.0.0 release, and already publishing our first 3.2.0 release candidate!

Now we still haven’t released actual GIMP 3.2.0 yet, of course. But this RC is our milestone for freezing features (and strings, hence giving time for translators to do their thing! Awesome work by all of them across the world, by the way! 🤗) so we are now focusing on fixing bugs and possibly some minor UX improvements (more on the side of papercuts rather than anything implying major UI changes).

That also means that we are really looking forward your issue reports! If there was any time for you to get your voice heard and tell us of any issues we may have missed before we publish the next stable minor version, that would be now!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

Many thanks to our donors, sponsors and to all the people who support our project.

Cinnamon Menu

Work continued on the Cinnamon menu applet.

Configuration options were added to be able to move the search bar to the bottom:

And to be able to position the system buttons in the sidebar:

Troubleshooting Tools

Despite our best efforts, things don’t always work out of the box, right? 🙂

When troubleshooting issues and finding solutions you don’t only need to find people who are able to help you, you need to be able to give them the information they need to understand your problem and give you the right solution.

The steps involved in troubleshooting a hardware-related issue usually are:

  1. Finding the cause of the problem
  2. Precisely identifying the device, component or driver
  3. Finding out what to do
  4. Applying the recommended solution

The community (forums, chat, tutorials, etc..) helps with step 3, but you’re usually on your own with the command line for steps 1, 2 and 4.

We worked on making these steps a little bit easier.

The “System Reports” tool was given a plethora of new features and it was rebranded as “System Information”.

In addition to its “System Information”, “System Reports” and “Crash Reports” pages, the tool received 4 new pages to show you more information and help you troubleshoot common issues.

The “USB” page shows a detailed view of all your plugged-in devices. You can see their type, name and ID (which uniquely identifies the device and its manufacturer).

Devices are grouped by USB controller, so you can see where each device is plugged and compare its connection speed and power usage with the controller’s max connection speed and total power capacity. This makes it easy to troubleshoot common USB issues such as slow transfers or random disconnections.

The “GPU” page shows information about your default graphics card and its support for hardware acceleration:

    

The “PCI” page gives you a detailed look at the internal components of the computer. The PCI ID and the driver in use are very useful when troubleshooting PCI devices.

In the “BIOS” page you can find information about your motherboard, BIOS version, boot mode and secure-boot.

A new tool called “System Administration” was implemented. Although its UI looks similar to the “System Information” tool, its goal is slightly different. This tool runs with admin privileges and focuses on administration.

For the moment it only has one page called “Boot menu”:

At the top you can show or hide the boot menu and set how long it stays visible before booting the default option. This is very useful if you’re dual-booting or if you’re using multiple kernel series.

In the second section you can add boot parameters. This is sometimes needed when dealing with hardware/driver issues.

LMDE 6 EOL

LMDE 6 will reach End of Life on January 1st 2026.

Past that date the repositories will continue to work but the release will no longer receive bug fixes or security updates.

To upgrade the 64-bit version of LMDE 6 to LMDE 7 visit https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4571.

The 32-bit version will unfortunately not be upgradable. Proper support for 32-bit was dropped by many upstream projects (Debian, Ubuntu, Mozilla, Chromium) so we cannot continue to support this architecture anymore.

XSI (XApp Symbolic Icons)

Although adwaita-icon-theme is still a dependency on libgtk, it no longer supports applications outside of GNOME. Some of the symbolic icons it provided were simply removed, leading to regressions in many projects who relied on them. For instance if you are running Cinnamon in LMDE 7 or Arch Linux right now, you can right-click your panel and see missing symbolic icons.

To replace the Adwaita symbolic icons a new XApp project was started called XSI (XApp Symbolic Icons): https://github.com/xapp-project/xapp-symbolic-icons.

All the XApp, Cinnamon and Mint projects switched to XSI.

Interview with Simon Budig, GIMP developer

31 octobre 2025 à 19:00

GIMP is Free and Libre Open Source Software, but none of it is possible without the people who create with and contribute to it. Our project maintainer Jehan was interested in interviewing the volunteers who make GIMP what it is, and sharing their stories so you can learn more about the awesome people behind GIMP!

Early interviews with co-maintainer Michael Natterer and Michael Schumacher were published shortly after the first Wilber Week. Unfortunately, the rest of the interviews from that event have never seen the light of day - until now!

The interview in this article is about Simon Budig, a core GIMP code contributor and advocate. It is especially fitting to share his interview now, as Simon was behind the rewrite of the Path Tool infrastructure that powers the new Vector Layer feature in the upcoming GIMP 3.2.

This interview took place on February 4th, 2017. In addition to Jehan and Simon, Michael Schumacher and Thomas Manni were also involved and asked questions. Thanks also to Alx Sa for transcribing the audio recording after all these years, an ungrateful task but without which we could not publish these!

Jehan: Hello Simon. Can you introduce yourself, in general and in relation to GIMP?

Simon: Hello, I’m Simon Budig, and I’ve been involved in GIMP since 1998 or something like that. A little bit earlier maybe if you count the non-official contributions.

Jehan: What are “non-official” contributions?

Simon: Ah, giving talks about GIMP without being affiliated with the project. But my first patch, I looked it up yesterday, was in April ‘98.

Jehan: What was it?

Simon: It was a fix for the layers dialog regarding the spacing of the widgets. So, you have this box and the spacing between the widgets was basically inconsistent.

Jehan: Okay! I know you’ve worked on a lot of important features in GIMP. Can you share a little about them, like the vector tool?

Simon: Yes, I think the vector tool is probably the most important one. It was basically a complete rewrite of the vector tool, getting new infrastructure for vector data, which by the way, is more flexible than we actually use. It’s probably a little bit over-complicated from looking back at the code, and there’s stuff I would do different today – but it works.

Jehan: Could you explain a little more?

Simon: The vector infrastructure was designed to allow different stroke types. A stroke is putting down the pen, following the path, and releasing the pen. So it was designed to be able to handle different stroke types, but the only stroke type we have now is the Bezier, so you have points connected by Bezier curves and their handles. There’s been a lot of thinking going on about if, for example, you’d like to have rectangle strokes - how would it work to have a rectangle on the canvas? The tool must query where to put the control nodes and the anchor nodes and stuff like this. Ideally, it should be possible to have different kinds [of strokes], but it failed due to UI considerations – how would the user choose what kind of stroke to create? The obvious implementation for a lot of this kind of thing would lead to very unconventional user interactions for manipulating the content – it would be a little bit weird.

Prototypical
Prototypical “rectangle stroke” object in the path tool, by Simon, from 2004

[Editors note: Simon clarifies, that he was trying to implement a path tool working within the constraints of the tool infrastructure at that time (2002-2004). He was trying to abstract away from the specific shape to be manipulated. This would have had weird consequences for the user interactions, see for example the screenshot of a prototypical rectangle stroke type above. He at some point scrapped this idea.]

Jehan: It’s quite different from Inkscape‘s SVG vectors. So I guess it’s a different concept from most other software? For instance, if I’m in Inkscape and I make a vector shape I have a concept of a stroke, a fill, and everything. In GIMP you just have a vector that you can stroke separately but it’s not attached to the vector. You can not move the vector for instance and have the fill or stroke follow it.

Simon: Yeah, this basically has to do with what I had to start with. The old vector tool was the same, so it didn’t have fill properties or stroke properties. So, at that point I didn’t see the need to, or I wasn’t confident enough to just throw all of this away and introduce a completely new concept of having objects within the layer stack. This was something that was just over my head. We had a Google Summer of Code project regarding vector layers that was supposed to implement this, but this is something that hasn’t been finished.

[Editor’s note: This work is finally done and you can experiment with a first pre-stable version in development release GIMP 3.1.4. This will be part of the stable release GIMP 3.2.]

And the other thing is that the use of the path tool is quite different than for example in Inkscape. Because Inkscape has a path manipulation tool, which has tons of different buttons and possibilities to do a rectangular select on the nodes and stuff like this, which we don’t have in GIMP. So this would be quite a lot of work to get this aligned to a traditional tool. But on the other hand, what one of the main purposes of the rewrite was to get it more close in this direction because the old path tool was quite different and quite strange.

Jehan: The old tool, that was not by you.

Simon: Right, the old one I threw it away basically.

Jehan: Okay, so what are you working on now? Or do you want to work on something?

Simon: I don’t find the time or energy to work on GIMP as much as I would like, so I’m hesitant with starting bigger projects in GIMP because I’m not sure I can finish them properly. So what I’m mainly doing is lurking around and try to help people there. Yeah. But other than that, my contributions to GIMP are limited and I prefer small-scale things to work on. For example, I’ve been working on the Warp operation in GEGL to make it more similar to what I-Warp has been doing.

Jehan: To what?

Simon: I-Warp [plug-in]. There was a difference in the math which was quite noticeable in some parts and it still has issues. I am not sure if I can resolve this. So I like small, isolated problems.

Jehan: Do you use GIMP?

Simon: I do! But mostly for small scale things like doing diagrams of something. Regarding the use of graphics tools I also like Inkscape a lot. Somehow this whole vector thing triggers the right point in my mind so I like dealing with vectors. But what’s happening right now in GIMP with this GEGL integration and further expansion of the layer nodes is quite interesting as well. So yeah, I like GIMP. Again, I use it for not very artistic stuff but I do use it sometimes. But I’m not the GIMP expert.

Jehan: Your company also does some stuff sometimes, like taking care of stickers.

Simon: Maybe I should explain a little bit. The main work we do in our company is embedded Linux work. We specialize in embedded Linux and we do custom software development for a wide range of embedded devices. Sometimes there’s really crazy things we’re working on. And sometimes in the process of this there’s a use for GIMP. For example, if you create a boot splash and you want to put some basic stuff, some text, some logos together and it needs to be in 320 by 240 and it needs to be 16 bit RGB565 and stuff like this so that the boot loader can handle it – it’s easy [in GIMP].

But a minor part of the company is that we have a history of doing merchandising for a variety of free and open source projects. It’s kind of connected to big events in Germany like the LinuxTag or the – I forgot the name – FrOSCon is one of the conference. So sometimes a colleague of mine has a booth there and sells all kinds of interesting merchandising stuff for different projects. And this is where I help her by preparing designs for the items. For example, if you have some random bitmap and you want to do T-Shirts, the T-Shirts maybe should be silk-screen printed. Then the bitmap is not very suitable because silk-screen printing is done with a low number of very specific colors and you need to create vector shapes. This is something I do with Inkscape for example.

Other things can be done with GIMP, if you do some stuff that is printed digitally you can hand in a bitmap. I’m very much a fan of using the right tool for the job, and this sometimes also means that I invent the right tool for a specific job.

Jehan: As free software?

Simon: They usually get developed to a point where they solve the problem. So, I know how to use them, but nobody else can! For example, I made a tool for one of the LinuxTag T-Shirts. We wanted to have a nebula effect in the background, and silk-screen printing and shades of gray don’t mix well. So I wanted to emulate this by having a very specific dot pattern that kind of relates to the nebula pattern but also is discrete dots printed on the shirts. Not being happy with the bog standard newsprint style patterns, I wrote a Python script to have wavy patterns. So I write a pattern script that generated Postscript output and this Postscript output then got further processed with a mix of various things – it’s been a while since I did this.

[Editor’s note: Simon found one of his old scripts which provided PostScript and Skencil outputs, and shared it with us: dotgenerator.py.]

Jehan: You’ve also shown us various creative stuff you do. So maybe you don’t have a professional artist background, but you do a lot of artistic stuff.

Simon: Yeah this is something I need to get use to, to be confident in calling the stuff I do art. My professional background is actually in mathematics. So I have a diploma in mathematics. Then I kind of got back onto the slippery slope of computer science. And I worked in the CS department of the university, in the algorithm program, so I helped teaching students about algorithms and solving them. But also algorithms with graphics side-effects. For example, one thing I was working on was a tool to visualize an algorithm for creating the Voronoi diagram. I guess I won’t expand on that right now, but the thing is, there is really beautiful stuff that comes out of that. Discovering this is a lot of fun.

Schumaml: Getting back to your involvement with the vector tool, how sophisticated do you think vector editing in GIMP should be? Like should it rival Inkscape?

Simon: Personally I think there are certainly a lot of things that can be improved. One thing that is obvious is vector shapes. Vector shapes would be a big improvement. [Especially] if you have them in a mask, like an oval shape that’s defined as an oval shape and used as a mask. I also think that it would be useful if the vector tool would get revamped a little bit to be more discoverable, because a lot of people are struggling with discovering all the functionality that is there. When I designed this in 2003 or something, I wanted it to be usable for someone who has learned to deal with it. I still think it does this – it’s a little bit doubtful if I fully succeeded with this. It’s a lot better than the tool was before, but other than that – there’s so much functionality in the tool which is hard to present in the user interface. So we have this weird [situation], where there’s lots of key combinations and modifiers that you have to use to get certain functionality and stuff like this. Inkscape solves this by having a tool specific toolbar. But this also means you constantly go back and forth between different tools.

Jehan: So you can have both. It’s discoverable for new people but experts can use the modifiers.

Simon: Maybe that’s kind of the problem. Because I always saw the buttons so I didn’t know about the existence of having modifiers for changing tool functions.

Jehan: I don’t know if Inkscape has this, but in GIMP that could be the solution.

Simon: If Inkscape has that I don’t know, but the toolbar might prevent me from discovering this. So actually in Inkscape it’s quite annoying – when I do vector editing I do it in a very analytic manner because that’s how my mind is wired. So I want to have the nodes and specific shapes and sometimes I do stuff like – for example, you have the elongated oval thing and you want to make it two half circles. So I would have to click here, remove segments, reconnect the points in a different way, so it’s quite a lot of work to do this. I would have to show it.

But yeah, it’s a little bit weird because you need a lot of clicks for seemingly a simple operation. Maybe when you have shapes composed of multiple strokes and you want to change the structure of this, you have to frequently remove the segments between two nodes and then create a new segment between two other nodes, this is quite a lot of mouse work in Inkscape.

Schumaml: Because of the UI?

Simon: Yeah, because the buttons are on the top and I need to decipher the icons again and again because they’re quite similar actually. And I realize it’s a hard problem because it’s not easy to make it clear what is there. But on the other hand they’ve done some improvements recently so more stuff is working as you’d expect it to work.

But yeah, you originally asked where GIMP should go with its vector functionality. I don’t think that it’s necessary to compete with Inkscape regarding this feature. In my personal opinion, we don’t need a spiral tool, we don’t need a star tool, and stuff like this is something where I say “No that’s not necessary”.

It’s useful for Inkscape, artists can do a lot of great stuff with this kind of thing. But then what we should focus on is basically having good integration with Inkscape. So that artwork from Inkscape can be imported into GIMP, maybe not lose all of the information, keeping as much as possible. But then if you look at, for example, the SVG specification that Inkscape is built around, there is a ton of stuff in there! And I don’t think we want all of that.

Jehan: What would be interesting as another feature would be not to build them, but being able to import them and keep them as vector. Like, you implement enough to be able to import them as vectors, even though you could not build them as vectors in GIMP itself.

Simon: Maybe, I don’t know.

Thomas: We have a patch for the vector tool, because there is some bad rendering when you switch on/off the visibility of the active vector.

Simon: Yeah, I haven’t touched the code actually for quite a few years now. In fact the code has changed, it used to be XOR based when I implemented it.

Thomas: X what?

Simon: XOR – like inverting and inverting back. But this is very nice now with Cairo. Regarding the stroke and filling there are some interesting side things, because right now we use Cairo to render strokes and render fillings, and Cairo is 8 bit only which sucks for GEGL.

[Editor’s note: Cairo now has float channel support since version 1.17.2 in 2019, but not yet at time of interview.]

I’m not even sure if they have a specific gamma or if they assume linear.

[Editor’s note: There are also discussions that we replace Cairo for vector rendering with ctx eventually.]

Jehan: Why did you start contributing?

Simon: Why did I start contributing? Because the spacing between the widgets and the layout was inconsistent! (Laughing)

Jehan: Why do you stick around? Will you continue to be a contributor?

Simon: Well, maybe in 20 years, no!

I don’t know, I’m stubborn. And I’m still interested in all of this. I still like what GIMP is doing. I still think my input can help. Well, in the mean time, I did acquire a few additional hobbies, so GIMP has to share my attention with other hobbies.

But I still feel attached to the project, I made a lot of friends there, I like the people. It’s more about the people I guess.

Jehan: Questions, anyone? Maybe we’re finished.

Simon: Well, the food is not there right? It is? Okay, so let’s stop there and if any other questions pop-up we can talk later.

New Official Snap package

16 octobre 2025 à 18:00

We announce a new packaging format for Linux being deployed directly from our CI (Continuous Integration) system: .snap. This is a result of Bruno‘s effort on expanding GIMP availability through multiple de facto standard and distro-agnostic packaging formats.

Overcoming technical peculiarities

Snap packages are created using “snapcraft”, a tool that largely relies on a container technology developed by Canonical called “lxd”. However, all Linux runners on GNOME GitLab instance already run Docker for containerization. So, we needed to adjust our scripts to make use of, --destructive-mode option so we can use snapcraft-rocks Docker image to build GIMP then create the snap package reliably and fast on our CI.

These scripts are available under our Git repository and work locally as well, so anyone can build GIMP snap package.

Collaboration with Snapcrafters

Before the package being now available directly and officially, it used to be maintained unofficially by the downstream project called “Snapcrafters”.

As announced in GIMP 3.1.4 news, they kindly agreed to transfer the ownership of the snap package. This delicate process took fruitful months and we are very grateful for their help and for dedication on all these years, specially Jon Seager who handled most of the administrative stuff.

gimp-plugins plug interface for developers

The snap used to have some third-party plugins bundled on it. And, as outlined in our current packaging principles, official GIMP packages are “vanilla” (without additional code which is not from babl, gegl or GIMP source). Instead, we asked and Will French developed a plug interface called gimp-plugins. It works similary to our existing “org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin” Flatpak extension point and to MSIX modification packages, allowing to install plugins without breaking the Snap strict confinement.

So, the two existing plugins can be installed following the steps provided in their respective repositories:

We have written a how-to about Snap plugins on GIMP developer website. We hope that this will encourage more developers to package their plugins properly for Snap.

Download the Snap

GIMP 3.0.6 was co-produced by us and Snapcrafters and it is the first version available as an official snap package on the latest/stable channel. Future versions will be deployed automatically on the release day. You can install it today on the download page: https://gimp.org/downloads.

Like the Flatpak, and MSIX (MS Store), we also provide a development counterpart, for the users who want to test the latest features and help us making GIMP better. It is available on preview/stable channel.

NOTE: Due to a bug on App Center, you may need to use manual commands to install the preview snap.

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP code and packages.

The Inkscape project sent four contributors (Anunay, Ishaan, Manpreet, and Vaibhav) to attend IndiaFOSS 2025 which took place on September 20 and 21, 2025, in Bengaluru. The event provided a platform for Indian FOSS contributors to discuss their projects, future collaborations, and more. Students and other FOSS enthusiasts were also in attendance, making it a diverse and engaging gathering. The Inkscape project hosted a booth where people could talk to the contributors, and try Inkscape live! Stickers (some of which are shown below) were also available for the visitors. Our stickers were frequently praised for their designs and uniqueness.

Some sticky notes on a whiteboard listing the topics discussed during the Maintainers Summit. Before the main conference, all 4 contributors attended the Maintainers Summit organized by the FOSSUnited folks on 19th September. The summit was an unconference style event, a small gathering of maintainers/contributors of various FOSS projects. Among other things we discussed the possibility of funding Inkscape through FLOSS/Fund. The originators of the fund talked about the challenges of funding critical FOSS projects from India. One of the current challenges is the significant red tape involved, but they're actively working with the regulatory authorities to reduce that.

After attending a few sessions, we co-opted the venue to have our own mini-summit, and managed to work on a few things. Ishaan investigated enabling LTO builds for Inkscape which could result in more optimized binaries. Ishaan and Vaibhav together looked at a font reloading issue on Linux when fonts are deleted while being used in a document. Manpreet created a bugfix to get the correct font properties from the font definitions in the target AI file, because a version of the font was not parsed correctly. Anunay started work on calculating sRGB fallbacks in inkex (Inkscape's extension library), needed for accurate colors in inkai, Inkscape's AI file importer extension. Anunay and Manpreet also discussed approaches to refactor some global states in inkai. Inkscape contributors sitting at a desk. Clockwise from the back - Vaibhav, Anunay, Manpreet, and Ishaan.

 

Booth experience

Most visitors who came at the booth were unaware about Inkscape and vector graphics in general. The conversations usually started with explaining the difference between vector and raster graphics, then giving examples of other vector graphics programs. We then continued by informing them that Inkscape could be used to design logos, posters, and shapes that could then be sewn, CNC-machined, laser-cut, and more... Some people even got excited about the prospect that they could draw something and scale it indefinitely without any loss of quality. We would then usually ask if they wanted to try out Inkscape, and gave a short tutorial of all the tools.

Some people were interested in knowing if Inkscape supported collaborative designing and editing like some paid online offerings. They also asked if Inkscape could be run on browsers, Android tablets, or iPads. Although there is no direct support for browsers and iPads, we were happy to report that Inkscape now has an Android CI that produces experimental Android builds.

Several visitors told us that they were using a different vector graphics program, and said that they'd try out Inkscape. We got to know about a place in Kerala where one can go and get their designs laser cut. They currently use a very old designing tool, and were excited to learn about Inkscape.

We were introduced to Mind Empowered, which is a Kerala based non-profit teaching Inkscape to deaf children. The founder of the non-profit also asked for availability of someone who could teach Inkscape in the city of Kochi, and we were able to connect them with someone from that region. Another teacher associated with the organization asked about the current accessibility features for specially-abled users. They also asked if we had any plans to work on this in the near future.

One very enthusiastic Inkscape user complained about the lack of a good reference for all the keyboard shortcuts. They were using Inkscape with an LLM to generate SVG code for desktop mats with designs of Linux commands’ cheatsheets. None of us were aware that Inkscape actually had a shortcut guide under Help menu > Learn more > Keys and Mouse Reference, we learned about this after the event.

The KDE project’s booth was just beside ours, and we noticed that they were drawing Konqi (the mascot of KDE). So, we had a friendly competition with them on who could draw Konqi better.

A hardware enthusiast who designed some PCBs in Inkscape, and then imported those in KiCAD also visited the booth. They showed us their workflow as well. One of the PCBs they designed is shown above.

Some visitors asked about the steps to start contributing to Inkscape. We showed them our repositories, and pointed them to Inkscape's chat system at https://chat.inkscape.org if they needed specific help.

We also met a developer working on a proprietary vector graphics program, and we discussed about various extensions the project was working on for importing files made in that and other proprietary programs. Before leaving, they wrote "Good Product" on the user artwork SVG of Day 2.

There were a few people who wanted to contact contributors from the Inkscape team for FOSS events. We were happy to share our contact details with them.

Many visitors reported that Inkscape was a part of their school curriculum. Since the version of Inkscape that was usually taught was quite old, we showed them some of the newer features like multiple pages, Shape Builder tool, etc.

We had a great talk with contributors from the Wikimedians of Kerala User Group, who also had a booth at the conference. They were very enthusiastic about the LPEs offered by Inkscape.

At the end of the second day, we all were both excited and exhausted, so we wrapped up the event by having a nice group dinner (shown on the left).

 

 

User Artworks!

At the start of each day, we had an empty document open inside Inkscape for visitors to draw on, and for many people it was their first time drawing vector shapes, especially using a graphics tablet. Inkscape has an Automatic Save feature which can periodically save an open file. This is supposed to be useful in cases of a crash and/or file corruption. However, we repurposed this feature, and set the autosave interval to 1 minute (which can be adjusted in Preferences > Input/Output > Autosave). As a result, we now had individual SVGs for each minute. Using the Inkscape CLI, the awesome ImageMagick and GNU Parallel programs, and our incremental SVGs, here is a timelapse of what visitors drew over the two days.

Meeting with the wider Indian FOSS community filled us with enthusiasm and pride. We realised that we are part of such a rich and diverse ecosystem of tools and users. We also felt very lucky to have had the chance to represent the Inkscape project and meet with its current, and hopefully, future users. We hope to return next year with even more enthusiasm. See you!

GIMP 3.0.6 Released

5 octobre 2025 à 18:00

We are happy to announce the third micro-release GIMP 3.0.6. During our development of GIMP 3.2 we’ve found and fixed a number of bugs and regressions. We have backported many of those bugfixes to this stable release, so you don’t have to wait for the upcoming 3.2 release candidate to receive them!

Release Highlights

Micro releases like 3.0.6 are focused on fixing bugs and regressions. Many of these have already been announced in our 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 news posts. However, we wanted to highlight some of the most commonly reported issues so that you are aware of the fixes.

Improve usability of sliders

To quote from our 3.1.4 news post:

As part of the port to GTK3, the default cursors were updated. This change led to some users experiencing the dreaded “Hand” cursor when hovering over a number slider widget. Unfortunately, the arrow cursor from GIMP 2.10 is not included on all platforms so we had to devise an alternate method. Denis Rangelov and Michal Vašut helped us find an initial solution while we continue to work on the design. We hope the current solution will make it easier for you to see where you’re clicking!

Workaround for Windows language-specific crashes

Since GIMP 3.0, we have received reports from some users that GIMP crashed for them upon opening or exporting files. We were unable to replicate the problem, until developers like Jacob Boerema and Bruno Lopes noticed a pattern - the affected users all had specific system languages like Turkish or Norwegian Bokmål. They traced the bug to our metadata library, Exiv2.

With the help of an Exiv2 maintainer Kevin Backhouse, we eventually found that the problem was caused by a bug in LLVM’s libc++, further made worse by a bug in Windows UCRT code! We have filed a report with Microsoft while Luca Bacci has contributed a patch to LLVM project, not merged yet. While waiting for the issues to be resolved at the source, Bruno has added a temporary patch to our Exiv2 build proposed by Kevin in order to workaround the issue. If you continue to have trouble with this bug, please let us know!

Fix for Text Outline crashes

A number of users have reported crashes when trying to change the color of text outlines via the Text tool. This problem was discovered and fixed in our 3.1 development code, and is now fixed in 3.0.6 as well.

Better transparency handling with filters and transforms

Certain image formats such as JPEG do not support transparency. GIMP respects those limitations when importing images, and does not automatically add transparency when opening them (unless you change this setting in Preferences). While this is important for advanced users, it can be confusing for people who are unfamiliar with image formats.

In GIMP 2.10, some special-casing was done to make certain filters and transforms work “as expected” even if the layer did not have transparency. These were removed during the code clean-up done during GIMP 3.0’s development, and unfortunately not restored before release. As a result, some users had reported odd results when applying Color to Alpha or rotating layers without transparency. Since then, we have developed more generalized code to automatically add transparency to layers when necessary, which should prevent those problems for unsuspecting users!

Theme colors for Brush, Font, and Palette

Due to how interconnected it was with other code changes, we back-ported a new feature from GIMP 3.1.2 - the ability to use theme colors for the brush, font, and palette dockables! You can read more about it in our original news post on the feature.

Updated non-destructive filter code

During the 2025 Libre Graphics Meeting, our co-maintainer Michael Natterer spent a good deal of time reviewing, cleaning, and updating our non-destructive (NDE) filter code. These improvements have been backported to GIMP 3.0.6 to improve the stability of our filters, and to align the development and stable codebases so we can more easily resolve any remaining issues. Jehan made further performance improvements and clarified in the interface when filters can and can not be applied non-destructively. The code to apply NDE filters to channels was also backported.

Palette import updates

We fixed a bug related to importing Adobe Color Book (.acb) palettes CMYK and LAB palettes. We also updated our Palette Import dialogue to let you filter the view by the different palette formats that GIMP currently supports (including Adobe ASE, standard CSS, and GIMP’s own GPL format).

Printing improvements for flatpak

Again, to quote from our 3.1.4 news post:

New contributor Corentin Noël developed a fix for the Image Settings tab not appearing when printing in sandboxed applications like flatpak or snap. Due to restrictions, the tab will be created as a secondary dialogue instead - allowing you to edit those settings once again. This patch is a more future-proof version of an earlier attempt by BZZZZ creatively bypassing the sandbox portal. We appreciate the work of both contributors to fix this problem! This proposed solution is not ideal, UX-wise, compared to the original tab, but it is necessary because the portal print dialog is hardly usable without these settings.

Improvements for macOS

Our two main macOS contributors Lukas Oberhuber and Gabriele Barbero have worked to fix some important issues with our macOS build. One example of their efforts is fixing a crash when dragging a color to fill the canvas. This was caused by our new color management code being more strictly checked by macOS compared to Linux and Windows - we have switched to a custom application/x-geglcolor mimetype to prevent this issue on all our platforms. They also improved issues with multiple icons appearing in the macOS dock (such as when running a plug-in or script). For multi-window mode users, they also fixed a bug where the windows would “flash” back and forth a number of times.

If you are a macOS developer and are interested in helping triage more macOS issues, we’d appreciate your support!

Improved security for image imports

During development, we received reports from the Zero Day Initiative of potential security issues with some of our file import plug-ins. While these issues are very unlikely to occur with real files, developers like Jacob Boerema and Alx Sa proactively improved security for those imports.

The resolved reports are:

  • ZDI-CAN-27793
  • ZDI-CAN-27823
  • ZDI-CAN-27836
  • ZDI-CAN-27878
  • ZDI-CAN-27863
  • ZDI-CAN-27684

Build process improved

Jehan and Bruno backported all the build-related commits from the 3.1 development branch. For example, the nice automatic associations generation. Additionally, a bug that made it impossible for Python-based plug-ins to connect to the Internet on Windows and macOS is now fixed on the stable series.

AppImage users will also have a more reliable package from now on. The PS/EPS plug-in was restored to work on AppImage. Also, Bruno worked to make the AppImage based on Debian 13 trixie, which fixed many bugs at once, such as crashing at the file dialog when there is a .json file, some PyGObject limitations, incorrect colored subpixel rendering by Cairo and crashes when exporting JPEG 2000 images.

Similarly, the Flatpak manifest was updated to use the latest GNOME 49 runtime. So Flatpak users, you may remove the previous org.gimp.GIMP.HEIC extension if it is still installed, since GIMP now uses org.freedesktop.Platform.codecs-extra instead.

Jehan, lillolollo, and Jacob Boerema have worked to remove a number of warnings produced when building GIMP. While most of these were harmless, it is good to get rid of them in order to have cleaner code and build output.

Assorted fixes

There are a variety of smaller fixes in this release as well. While we can’t exhaustively cover 600+ code updates (!), here are a few more of interest.

  • Gabriele Barbero fixed a critical warning that could occur when adding a virtual device to GIMP as input.
  • Cheesequake corrected a code typo that caused the layer boundary to not update correctly when moving with the arrow keys.
  • Liam Quin prevented a potential crash that could occur if extension files were not in the right directory.
  • Anders Jonsson caught more missing translatable text, like the JPEG 2000 dialogue header.
  • Ondřej Míchal fixed a bug where file parameters were not being passed correctly in plug-ins.
  • Estecka reported and then fixed a bug where the canvas would not center properly when zooming out. (This bug also existed in GIMP 2.10 but was offset by a second bug - we fixed that bug in 3.0 but not the original one, so the new problem appeared!)
  • Alx Sa made several fixes to plug-ins, such as allowing the legacy Jigsaw filter to draw on transparent layers and fixing a bug in the Recompose filter to properly combine YCbCr decomposed images again.
  • Jacob Boerema made several improvements to our metadata code, including using a more complete method to save time in Exif.Image.DateTime and fixing how comments are synchronized with the image when exported.

GEGL and babl

Øyvind Kolås has released new updates to babl and GEGL, the underlying color management engines for GIMP.

GEGL 0.4.64 contains a number of updates and fixes. Ondřej Míchal added OpenCL to the base GeglOperationPointComposer3 class, which means more filters can now support acceleration using the GPU. He and Øyvind Kolås also worked on making the filter testing process more robust. Jacob Boerema fixed the ZDI-CAN-27803 vulnerability for RGBE image imports. An update was made to the gegl:mirrors filter to redraw correctly on large images (this improves GIMP’s Kaleidoscope filter). Bruno Lopes and Jehan contributed many build process improvements and clean-up.

babl 0.1.116 brings a number of build process updates and script clean-ups by Bruno Lopes. You can also now check the version of babl in the commandline with a --v flag thanks to Joe Da Silva.

Around GIMP

Team News

Our GSoC 2025 students Gabriele Barbero and Ondřej Míchal have been added to the Core Team in our GitLab repository! This is in response to the excellent work they have done over the summer and continued to contribute afterwards.

Download Mirrors

Since the 3.0.4 news post, a new mirror have been contributed:

Mirrors are important as they help the project by sharing the load for dozens of thousands of daily downloads. Moreover by having mirrors spread across the globe, we ensure that everyone can have fast download access to GIMP.

Downloading GIMP 3.0.6

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

What’s Next

While the bulk of the work is ongoing on the main development branch (for upcoming GIMP 3.2), we felt this new stable 3.0 release was really needed, as more bug fixes accumulated. We highly recommend to update GIMP to this latest version for production work.

In the meantime, for more adventurous creators, curious people, and in particular anyone who would like to be a part in the creation of a better creative software, we also encourage you to try out our GIMP 3.1.4 development version (experimental release for the future GIMP 3.2) and report bugs or suggest User Experience improvements.

GIMP is first and foremost a Community, Free Software. What happens in it is what we all make of it. By contributing, you make it your software! 🤗

In any case, our accelerated release schedule seems to be going pretty well so far, and we are pretty happy of how GIMP 3.2 is taking shape!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

Monthly News – September 2025

Hi everyone,

Before we start with the news I’d like to thank all the people who help us.

Whether it’s donations, sponsorships, bug reports, ideas, PRs, community support or even just good vibes, it’s all really appreciated! Many thanks to all of you.

Improved support for keyboard layouts and IM

The next version of Cinnamon will feature improved support for keyboard layouts and input methods.

In the past, the keyboard settings and the keyboard applet only really handled traditional layouts.

Going forward, traditional layouts and IBus input methods will be presented in the keyboard settings alongside each other, as if they were the same.

In this screenshot you can see a list of two layouts. One is a traditional XKB layout: French accents on a US ANSI layout. The other is actually an IBus input method: Japanese, using the Mozc engine.

 

The keyboard applet also supports both types of layouts and all the features required by IBus:

Wayland support

Under the hood, the Cinnamon keyboard handling relied on libgnomekbd and only worked in Xorg.

This meant that Cinnamon under Wayland could only be used with an English (US) layout.

This new support is fully compatible with Wayland for both traditional layouts and IBus input methods.

On-screen keyboard

The on-screen keyboard (OSK) will no longer rely on libcaribou but be implemented natively by Cinnamon.

This brings IM support and layout switch in the OSK itself.

We took the opportunity to make it look better.

 

New menu

The Cinnamon application menu was redesigned and given a new layout.

It features a sidebar with sections for your avatar, places and favorite applications.

The system buttons were moved to the top on the right of the search bar.

In the applications section, the description appears underneath the app name.

The category section was made smaller and less noticeable to keep more focus on the apps.

In the preferences it is possible to hide some of the elements to make the menu smaller or to dedicate the sidebar to only show places, bookmarks or favorite apps.

Special directories are treated individually and separately from other bookmarks.

The categories can use fullcolor icons like they did in the past.

Here’s an example with larger icons in the sidebar and categories:

And here’s an example with no sidebar at all:

 

The code for the menu applet was refactored and modernized for easier maintenance.

The keyboard navigation and refresh mechanisms in particular were greatly simplified.

  • Create one issue per bug.
  • As described in the Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide, do not report or create issues for observations.
  • Be as accurate as possible and include any information that might help developers reproduce the issue or understand the cause of the issue:
    • Bugs we can reproduce, or which cause we understand are usually fixed very easily.
    • It is important to mention whether a bug happens “always”, or “sometimes”, and what triggers it.
    • If a bug happens but didn’t happen before, or doesn’t happen in another distribution, or doesn’t happen in a different environment, please mention it and try to pinpoint the differences at play.
    • If we can’t reproduce a particular bug and we don’t understand its cause, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to fix it.
  • The BETA phase is literally a bug squashing rush, where the team is extremely busy and developers try to fix as many bugs as fast as possible.
  • There usually are a huge number of reports and very little time to answer everyone or explain why a particular report is not considered a bug, or won’t get fixed. Don’t let this frustrate you, whether it’s acknowledged or not, we appreciate everyone’s help.

Hello everyone,

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all of you who support the project with your donations.

LMDE 7

Work started on LMDE 7, codename Gigi.

The goal for this release is to bring the following features together:

  • A Debian 13 package base
  • The improvements which shipped with Linux Mint 22.2
  • Support for OEM installations

The OEM support was already implemented during the Mint 22.2 development cycle, so we were able to progress really fast on this. It’s now been tested in real conditions on top of the new package base and it’s working very well.

The new Mint 22.2 features were also ported to LMDE 7.

We’re adapting the libadwaita-1.5 changes to libadwaita-1.7 and re-applying patches at the moment.

Note that i386 is no longer fully supported upstream by Debian 13 so LMDE 7 will only ship for amd64.

The BETA for LMDE 7 will be released this September.

Linux Mint 22.3

Although the latest release came later than expected and we’re currently focused on LMDE 7, we’re still planning on having a Mint 22.3 release in December.

This is going to be a very short release cycle. The priority will be the new version of Cinnamon and shipping some of the important WIP (work in progress / planned features) which were started earlier this year:

  • The new menu
  • The status applet
  • The Wayland-compatible handling for keyboard layouts and input methods

How to upgrade to Linux Mint 22.2

Par :Clem
4 septembre 2025 à 05:31

It is now possible to upgrade Linux Mint 22 and 22.1 to version 22.2.

If you’ve been waiting for this we’d like to thank you for your patience.

1. Create a system snapshot

You can use Timeshift to make a system snapshot before the upgrade.

If anything goes wrong, you can easily restore your operating system to its previous state.

Launch Timeshift from the application menu, follow the instructions on the screen to configure it and create a system snapshot.

2. Prepare for the upgrade

If you installed Cinnamon spices (applets, desklets, extensions, themes), upgrade them from the System Settings.

3. Upgrade the operating system

Upgrading to Linux Mint 22.2 is fast and easy.

In the Update Manager, click on the Refresh button to check for any new version of mintupdate or mint-upgrade-info. If there are updates for these packages, apply them.

Launch the System Upgrade by clicking on “Edit->Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.2 Zara”.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

If asked whether to keep or replace configuration files, choose to replace them.

4. Reboot the computer

Once the upgrade is finished, reboot your computer.

Commonly asked questions

  • If the upgrade is not available to you, check that you have the latest version of mint-upgrade-info (1.2.9 or higher) and restart the Update Manager by launching it again from the applications menu.
  • If the latest version of mint-upgrade-info is not yet available in your mirror, switch to the default repositories.
  • This happens rarely, but if you ever got locked and were unable to log back in, switch to console with CTRL+ALT+F2, log in, and type “killall cinnamon-screensaver” (or “killall mate-screensaver” in MATE). Use CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to your session.

GIMP 3.1.4: Second Development Release towards GIMP 3.2

31 août 2025 à 18:00

We’re happy to announce the release of GIMP 3.1.4! This release contains initial implementations of our two main GIMP 3.2 roadmap items: link layers and vector layers. It also contains a number of other nice new features, bugfixes, and internal improvements. We’re excited to share these with you and get your feedback in preparation for the GIMP 3.2 release candidate.

Note that a development release is not ready for production use. It might crash. If it didn’t have problems it would be 3.2 already. So please do test, but understand this is a feature release for early adopters and for the more adventurous!

We’ll highlight some of the major features and fixes below. For more details, you can check out our NEWS Changelog.

Non-Destructive Layers

This release contains initial implementations of our two GIMP 3.2 roadmap features, link layers and vector layers. We are especially requesting feedback on the stability and user experience of these new layer types - we will continue to polish these features in preparation for the first GIMP 3.2 release candidate.

Link Layers

Link layers allow you to link external image files as a layer in your project. For instance, you might add an SVG image file as a link layer, make changes to it in Inkscape, and see it instantly updated inside GIMP! You can also non-destructively scale and rotate the link layer without impacting the quality of the original image.

Jehan initially developed the concept back in 2020, but it was put on hold in order to finish developing GIMP 3.0. It’s now ready for testing in GIMP 3.1.4!

Editing a GIMP SVG Link Layer with Inkscape, by Jehan - GIMP 3.1.4

To access this feature, go to the File menu and choose Open as Link Layer.... This will let you select an image to link from your file directory. Once linked, you can apply transforms and non-destructive filters as you like. You can replace the linked image by double-clicking the icon in the layer dockable or right-clicking and choosing “Edit Layer Attributes”. To convert it to a normal raster layer, you can right-click and choose “Discard Link Information”.

Among the planned changes, we want to add the ability to select a layer to show from a linked file, instead of always showing the full image. This would allow to link another XCF file selectively.

Note that this is an initial UI/UX design - we look forward to your feedback so we can continue to improve it!

Vector Layers

Vector layers allow you to create a shape and set its fill and stroke properties. You can then change the shape path, swap out different color settings, and transform the layer non-destructively, without losing any sharpness!

The code for vector layers began as a Google Summer of Code project by Hendrik Boom all the way back in 2006. Since then, it has been updated and ported by a number of developers including Martin Nordholts, Gilles Rochefort, Michael Natterer, and Jacob Boerema. CMYK Student continued this legacy and now this feature is implemented in GIMP 3.1.4 after initial design feedback by Aryeom, Reju, and Denis Rangelov!

To create a vector layer, use the Path tool to draw a path. Click the Create vector layer button to generate a vector layer associated with that path. From here, you can continue to edit the path - the vector layer will automatically update. Once you have a vector layer selected, you can edit fill and stroke settings via the Path tool (or by double-clicking the thumbnail in the layer dock). The transform tools can also be used to non-destructively rotate, scale, and otherwise contort the vector layer. As with link layers, you can also convert the layer to a regular raster layer by right-clicking on the layer in the layer dock and choosing “Discard Vector Information”.

Note that this is an initial UI/UX design - we look forward to your feedback so we can continue to improve it!

GEGL Filter Browser

Our GSoC student Ondřej Míchal has added, as part of their summer project, the GEGL Filter Browser! This tool shows, similarly to the existing Procedure Browser, a list of all GEGL operations (i.e., filters) and information related to their use.

This browser is not just another alternative to the GEGL website or the gegl command-line utility. GEGL is extensible and users can register into it new operations. GIMP is also one of these users! GEGL’s website only shows information about operations shipped by GEGL, the gegl utility can also show operations installed by users but does not show operations registered by GIMP at runtime. The new browser is capable of showing all of these operations!

We hope this browser will make it easier for plug-in developers to discover filters they would like to use with the gimp-drawable-filter-* () API for non-destructive editing introduced in GIMP 3.0 and help them in using them.

The new browser can be accessed under the Help menu or by using the / to search for “GEGL Filter Browser”.

MyPaint Brushes 2

We have updated our MyPaint code to support the version 2 brushes. This update allows the MyPaint brush engine to take your canvas zoom and rotation into account when painting, to better simulate real brush strokes.

GIMP now comes with over 20 new brushes from the Dieterle set bundled with MyPaint Brushes 2. Some of these include the much requested arrow brush and a Posterizer brush inspired by GIMP’s own Posterize filter. Of course, you can also add your own MyPaint brushes to use.

Example of some of the new MyPaint Brushes
Examples of the new MyPaint Brushes - GIMP 3.1.4

In addition to the MyPaint version 2 port, we’ve also added a new Gain slider in the MyPaint Brush tool. This controls how much pressure the brush engines thinks you’re applying when painting. This should be useful if you’re painting with a mouse and want to simulate pressing the brush harder or softer - it can also be helpful for tablet users who want to offset their own stylus pressure.

As a note for software packagers, GIMP now depends on mypaint-brushes-2.0 instead of mypaint-brushes-1.0. In our official builds, we also apply a patch that fixes warnings for libmypaint due to typos in some of the version 2 brush properties.

Text tool

Another of our GSoC students Gabriele Barbero has been working on a number of updates to the text tool. We recently merged some of their first improvements! Now in the on-canvas editor, you can use Ctrl + B to bold, Ctrl + I to italicize, and Ctrl + U to underline text. We hope to merge more of their updates in the next development release, which we detail in the Teams News section below.

Additionally, the outline color now shows a live preview as you’re changing it in the color selection dialogue, instead of only updating once you confirm your choice.

Plug-ins

HRZ

HRZ is an older format for storing SSTV signals, exactly 256x240 8-bit RGB images. In older versions of GIMP there was a separate plug-in that supported importing this format, but it was removed. We have restored import support as part of our general raw data plug-in.

JPEG 2000

We now support importing signed JPEG 2000 images. Most image formats store pixels with positive values. However, JPEG 2000 is used in several scientific operations where they might want to visualize negative values as well. Thanks to Allan Barklie for both pointing out the problem and sharing sample images to test with!

PAA Textures

GIMP can now import non-DXT PAA textures. This texture format is used in games created by Bohemia Interactive Studio.

Seattle Filmworks

From the 70s to the early 2000s, you could mail Seattle Filmworks your photo film and they’d digitize it in their proprietary image format. They made several versions, mostly based on a mangled form of JPEG. We’ve added support for importing the SFW93A and SFW94A versions of the Seattle Filmworks format. Special thanks to Loren Amelang for sharing additional sample images and notes.

TIFF

We have further improved our support for TIFFs created with Sketchbook. In addition to the layer support added in 3.0 RC1, we now load layer visibility, blending modes, and color tags. Group layers are also loaded, along with which layer was selected.

UX/UI

We continue to discuss, review, and implement user experience improvements. As always, we extend an invitation for you to contribute as part of the UX repo!

  • Our GSoC student Gabriele Barbero improved our support for showing the correct time format based on your system settings. If you have your time set to a 12 hour system, the time will be shown this way on the “Up to date as of…” section of the About Dialog instead of always using a 24 hour format.

  • Reju developed a new design for the Animation Playback plug-in. The layout now resembles the standard interface seen in video software like VLC Player. In addition, the progress bar is now a slider widget, which allows you to easily slide to a specific frame rather than repeatedly clicking the frame advance buttons.

  • Gabriele Barbero has updated our macOS code to support the System Colors theme. Now GIMP will adapt to match the macOS dark mode setting if you have your color scheme set to “System Colors”.

  • During 3.0 RC development, we added support for turning off animations based on OS settings. We extended this support to also control the sliding animations seen when switching pages in the Welcome and Preferences dialogues.

  • While many users find the Welcome Dialog’s Create tab to be a convenient feature, it did prevent the New Image and Open Image keyboard shortcuts from working unless it was turned off on start. Thanks to Gabriele Barbero, you can now have the best of both worlds - the Welcome Dialog will respond to those keyboard shortcuts!

  • A small but often requested change is that the color selector no longer shows decimals when set to 0...255 mode. This makes it clearer when you’re in that mode compared to 0...100%, and that you’re entering a whole number for the color instead of a percentage.

  • Many of GIMP’s “size entry” fields allow you to enter mathematical expressions such as 3 * 92cm to calculate values. Gabriele Barbero extended this feature to our Configure Grid dialogue and Monitor Resolution settings in Preferences.

Additional Fixes

  • Jehan made further fixes to our code to import user configurations from older versions of GIMP to 3.2 (and the 3.1 development releases)

  • On Windows with the display scaled more than 200%, the crosshair cursor was in the wrong place compared to where the mouse pointer actually was. This was due to changes in how scaling is handled in GTK3. This bug should be fixed now. Thanks to Lance Evans for pointing it out in their review of GIMP 3.0!

  • New contributer Corentin Noël developed a fix for the Image Settings tab not appearing when printing in sandboxed applications like flatpak or snap. Due to restrictions, the tab will be created as a secondary dialogue instead - allowing you to edit those settings once again. This patch is a more future-proof version of an earlier attempt by BZZZZ creatively bypassing the sandbox portal. We appreciate the work of both contributers to fix this problem! This proposed solution is not ideal, UX-wise, compared to the original tab, but it is necessary because the portal print dialog is hardly usable without these settings.

  • The experimental Seamless Clone tool was broken when we updated our code to handle copy and pasting multiple layers. This has been fixed, so you can now test out the tool again by enabling it in Preferences. However, the tool itself is still quite slow, so it remains in the experimental Playground until further work can be done on it.

  • We received a report that the “Import Raw Data” dialogue was too tall for some screens. We converted it to a two-column dialogue to reduce the height and better ensure everything’s visible on all screens.

  • As part of the port to GTK3, the default cursors were updated. This change led to some users experiencing the dreaded “Hand” cursor when hovering over a number slider widget. Unfortunately, the arrow cursor from GIMP 2.10 is not included on all platforms so we had to devise an alternate method. Denis Rangelov and Michal Vašut helped us find an initial solution while we continue to work on the design. We hope the current solution will make it easier for you to see where you’re clicking!

  • Jacob Boerema has added a new preference option to “Update metadata automatically”. When turned off, GIMP will no longer update comments or historical metadata such as creation time or software. This allows you to keep that metadata undisturbed even if you edit the image in GIMP. Note that image-related metadata such as thumbnails will still be updated, though you can control whether that is included in the final image on export.

  • Anders Jonsson continues their important work of finding and marking areas of the GUI as translatable. These fixes may not be immediately apparent for all languages, but his work makes it possible for those to be translated. If you’re interested in helping with translation, find your language and look for the GIMP and Friends section to contribute.

Internal Changes

Our co-maintainer Michael Natterer has been hard at work reviewing and improving our internal code. While less visible than some of the other changes listed above, this work is very important to GIMP’s stability and ease to work with. A few highlights:

  • Reorganizing our layer search code so it can be used with other items like channels and paths in the future.

  • Finishing our internal renaming process from GimpVectors to GimpPath, for consistency and to reduce confusion with the new Vector Layers code structures.

  • Reviewing and removing unnecessary or outdated test cases and code warnings.

  • Restructuring our internal GimpControllerManager and GimpContainerView APIs.

Several of his changes are also laying the foundation for a future port to GTK4! These include moving code away from GtkTreeView which will be deprecated in future GTK versions, and converting to using GtkListBox. You can try out some of the future changes by enabling Use GtkListBox for simple lists in the Playground section of Preferences. Please report any bugs or performance issues you encounter!

Jehan has also created a new GIMP_WARNING_API_BREAK() macro. We use this in areas where we identify potential improvements that would break the public API. These will throw warnings when we start future development of GIMP 4, so that we know to re-examine those parts of the code to fix them.

PDB

For plug-in developers, we’ve added some new public API features. You can now change the paintbrush fade length and repeat settings with gimp-context-set-paint-fade-length and gimp-context-set-paint-fade-repeat. These functions work best in scripts when gimp-context-set-emulate-brush-dynamics is used to enable emulating brush dynamics.

The gimp-file-save API now also updates the image’s associated saved or exported file, so that changes are reflected in the GUI’s titlebar as well as future operations.

We’ve also added some initial public API for creating vector layers. You can use gimp-vector-layer-new to create a vector layer, gimp-vector-layer-refresh to update the view after adjusting the path, and gimp-vector-layer-discard to convert it to a raster layer. We will add more functions in future releases to adjust the fill and stroke settings.

Build Process

On GIMP 3.1.4 development cycle, Bruno Lopes focused their attention on Linux (again) by adding two new official nightly builds:

Nightly Snap

The biggest addition to our CI recently is a new Snap package available for aarch64 and x86_64. .snap, although mainly used on Ubuntu, is a distro-independent packaging format for Linux that allows users to install and keep GIMP updated in a separate environment, similar to AppImage and Flatpak. We believe that it is always good to provide more universal and established packaging options, especially considering how diverse the Linux community is.

Please note that, right now, it is not available on the Snap Store yet. We are still talking with the Snapcrafters developers to pass over the ownership of the GIMP store entry so we can maintain it. You can track our progress on their tracker. When that happens, we will be able to publish unstable and stable releases on the Snap Store on the same day we release the other official packages. Until then, you can install the nightly Snap by following these instructions

Nightly aarch64 Flatpak

We have had nightly flatpak builds for x86_64 architecture for several years, but didn’t had for aarch64 (only for releases on flathub). Now we will be distributing on our CI and on GNOME nightly repository aarch64 builds as well.

Unfortunately, the future availability of these nightly builds is way less certain since GNOME GitLab have only one working runner for this purpose and this runner is sponsored by Open Source Lab, which is in a delicate situation. So, we always welcome runner sponsors

Note: considering the number of parts in GIMP and around, and how we get statistics through git scripting, errors may slip inside these stats. Feel free to tell us if we missed or mis-categorized some contributors or contributions.

Team news

Our GSoC students continue to make excellent progress on their projects!

  • Ondřej Míchal has already completed their core work on the GEGL Filter Browser (as noted above). Their next steps include collecting and reacting to user feedback, adding usage examples to both the new GEGL Filter Browser and Procedure Browser, and explore how the, now 3, developer browsers can be potentially merged in the future into a single point of reference for developers. You can read Ondřej’s final report for GSoC on his blog.

  • Gabriele Barbero has been working with mentor Liam Quin on several “almost-there” merge requests for improvements to the text tool! These include being able to move the on-canvas editor, see live previews of selected text color changes, and an overhaul of the text tool’s layout. You can read more about their work in their status report. Outside of GSoC, they’ve also been busy contributing some needed fixes for our macOS support.

  • Shivam has continued their work with mentor Jehan to build our Extensions infrastructure. When finished, this system will allow you to easily download, install (or uninstall), and use plug-ins, brushes, themes, and other custom features of GIMP without having to dig through folders and files. We look forward to sharing more details in a future update!

Also we recently came back from our Wilber Week event, which is an irregular team meeting. Twelve contributors were present. This year, the week was themed around the 30 years of GIMP (depending on how we look at it, GIMP may be already 30 year old — if we consider the first references to an unnamed project in emails — or will soon be, on November 21, if we consider the first release), as can be seen with the splash image.

So I guess: 🥳 Happy birthday GIMP! 🎂 Happiness to Wilber and the whole community! 🥂🤗

Downloading GIMP 3.1.4

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux Snaps for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel/x86 and Apple/ARM hardware (64-bit)

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc).

Note: we don’t provide a macOS package for Intel processor at release time because of last-minute issues. The package may come back soon… or not. Which is also a good occasion to remind that we always welcome new testers! 🤗 Our macOS packages have nearly nobody testing it apart our (awesome!) packager, Lukas Oberhuber.

👉 If anyone wishes to be a tester (for macOS or any other OS/package), reach out by opening an issue here telling us for which operating systems, architectures and packages you wish to contribute testing before a release.

There is no development release for the manual, but you can continue to use the existing GIMP 3.0 documentation.

What’s next

Now that we’ve implemented initial versions of the two main roadmap items, we will begin shifting our focus to developing the first GIMP 3.2 release candidate. This is in keeping with our new release policy - smaller, faster development cycles that get new features out to you all sooner!

Note that we definitely expect bugs and UX issues at this stage of the development of GIMP 3.2. We are releasing an early version containing in particular the two major features of GIMP 3.2 (link and vector layers) in order to get early feedback and suggestions to make the best possible implementation when we will release these as a stable version. Our designers are aware that their usability is not always ideal currently; we expect to get there with your help.

User testing and feedback is crucial - we want to hear from you. Help us find bugs and polish the user experience, so we can make the best version of GIMP 3.2 we can!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

You can suggest changes or report bugs by following the link to report a bug near the bottom of www.gimp.org.

This is the BETA release for Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”.

Linux Mint 22.2 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2029. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use.

New features:

This new version of Linux Mint contains many improvements.

For an overview of the new features please visit:

What’s new in Linux Mint 22.2“.

Important info:

The release notes provide important information about known issues, as well as explanations, workarounds and solutions.

To read the release notes, please visit:

Release Notes for Linux Mint 22.2

System requirements:

  • 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
  • 20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).
  • 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

Upgrade instructions:

  • This BETA release might contain critical bugs, please only use it for testing purposes and to help the Linux Mint team fix issues prior to the stable release.
  • Upgrade instructions will be published after the stable release of Linux Mint 22.2.
  • It will be possible to upgrade from this BETA to the stable release.
  • It will also be possible to upgrade from Linux Mint 22.1.

Bug reports:

  • Bugs in this release should be reported on Github at https://github.com/linuxmint/mint22.2-beta.
  • Create one issue per bug.
  • As described in the Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide, do not report or create issues for observations.
  • Be as accurate as possible and include any information that might help developers reproduce the issue or understand the cause of the issue:
    • Bugs we can reproduce, or which cause we understand are usually fixed very easily.
    • It is important to mention whether a bug happens “always”, or “sometimes”, and what triggers it.
    • If a bug happens but didn’t happen before, or doesn’t happen in another distribution, or doesn’t happen in a different environment, please mention it and try to pinpoint the differences at play.
    • If we can’t reproduce a particular bug and we don’t understand its cause, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to fix it.
  • The BETA phase is literally a bug squashing rush, where the team is extremely busy and developers try to fix as many bugs as fast as possible.
  • There usually are a huge number of reports and very little time to answer everyone or explain why a particular report is not considered a bug, or won’t get fixed. Don’t let this frustrate you, whether it’s acknowledged or not, we appreciate everyone’s help.

Download links:

Cinnamon Edition:

Xfce Edition:

MATE Edition:

Integrity and authenticity checks:

Once you have downloaded an image, please verify its integrity and authenticity.

Anyone can produce fake ISO images, it is your responsibility to check you are downloading the official ones.

Enjoy!

We look forward to receiving your feedback. Many thanks in advance for testing the BETA!

Hello everyone,

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all of you who support the project with your donations.

Linux Mint 22.2

The team is working on a BETA release for Linux Mint 22.2.

This new version introduces an HWE kernel, fingerprint authentication, theme updates, accent color support and improved libAdwaita compatibility. Work also continues in the Cinnamon edition, to make input methods and keyboard layouts compatible with Wayland.

Packages and projects are being finalized. Pull requests are being merged. There is no set date for the release but we’re hoping to get the BETA out by the end of July or the beginning of August.

LMDE 7

After Linux Mint 22.2 gets its stable release, the focus is likely to switch in September to LMDE 7, codenamed “Gigi”.

Gigi will come with all the improvements featured in Linux Mint 22.2 but on top of a Debian 13 package base instead of Ubuntu 24.04.

Another key improvement in LMDE 7 compared to LMDE 6 will be that it will support OEM installations.

Moderation

We unfortunately had to tighten moderation settings on this blog and it’s a real shame.

When we say everyone is welcome here, it means absolutely EVERYONE, no exceptions. This can only work if divisive topics are left behind and people refrain from labeling or excluding each other. Here, we’re all the same. Everybody’s welcome to participate. There’s no such thing as “freedom of speech”. We’re not here to fight for such or such ideas, we’re here to build something together and to protect our project and our community. We want comments to be on-topic and constructive, always.

We will not tolerate any kind of ideology.

We’re already bombarded by commercial spam. This is one of the last places in our community where you can interact without having to authenticate. I’m really hoping it can stay that way.

A few years ago, we had started a series of interviews (mitch and schumaml). More were planned, but things don’t always go as planned.

Well let’s try again! Today we are interviewing Sevenix, the digital artist who contributed the very cool splash screen image (which appears when starting GIMP) for the GIMP 3.0 series.

This interview was held asynchronously and remotely with questions from myself, Liam Quin and Alx Sa.

Wilber (GIMP team): Hello Sevenix! Could you introduce yourself?

Sevenix: Hello! My name is Fredrik Persson and I’m a programmer located in Sweden in my late thirties. I like music, movies and video games with the latter being one of my major points of artistic inspiration. Most of my drawings, even if not necessarily related to a specific game, take a lot of inspirations from the games I enjoy. One game in specific was actually the reason I got into digital artwork at all.

Fredrik Persson (a.k.a. Sevenix)

W: You use GIMP for illustrations. Is this a hobby? Do you use GIMP for a living?

S: I use GIMP for a lot of things but my main use would probably be creating illustrations, or digital artwork, yes. Ever since I was little I enjoyed drawing vast landscapes and simply filling them to the brim with little details. I use GIMP as a hobby, and while I have taken commission works earlier, I tend to not these days. The way I work is rather slow and heavily dependent on my inspiration over several months. Taking on projects that are not based on my own inspiration as well as demanding deadlines, it was simply not an enjoyable experience for me.

W: Could you talk a bit about your workflow please?

S: Funny thing, most who read this would probably expect me to be good at drawing, but truth is, I’m really not. I would consider myself below mediocre when it comes to real life drawing. I’ve always had the will and compulsion to draw, but I was never really any good at it. As such, I belong to a rather small minority who produce my artwork, not with a drawing tablet and pen, but with keyboard and mouse.

W: You work with fairly large images - what sizes are typical, and do you need to do anything special in your workflow to handle them?

S: Since I work with digital art, my main focus has always been to create wallpapers for desktops. As such I started off making regular 16:9 images in 1920x1080 pixels (HD) which during the later years I have increased to 3840x2160 (UHD). That being said, this resolution and aspect ratio is only my final aim. Sometimes websites etc. will use some different aspect ratio which I would have to adhere to, and I found it easier to create my work with this in mind from the start, rather than try to add more to the image afterwards. Print on Demand sites like Displate for example create prints in a 1.4:1 ratio. So, the first parts of all my work is to create an image that would fit a Displate 1.4:1 print. My next step is to immediately make sure to add guides or framing to make sure I do most of my detail work inside the areas which will later become the 16:9 wallpaper. This way I get a resulting image that is a 16:9 wallpaper, but with the option to extend the image to a 1.4:1 without having to create anything new.

W: You told us that you only use a mouse (no graphics tablet). Why is that?

S: One of the major advantages with digital work compared to conventional is that you can undo steps. Whenever I need to draw a line or arc, I can literally have infinite amount of attempts to get it just right. I try once and see if I’m happy with the result, if not, I do a quick Undo and try again. I mentioned that I’m bad at actual drawing and ever since I came to accept that I’ve started considering the work I do less of “drawing”, and more of “Brute Forcing Pixels”.

I believe using a graphic tablet could be great if you like it and it’s a skill you already have, but I equally believe that achieving a similar skill and familiarity with a mouse isn’t much harder. I suppose an answer to this question in it’s simplest form would be: I do my work with keyboard and mouse, because it’s how I learned to do it and it’s what I feel comfortable with.

W: Your art uses a rather specific art style, could you tell us a bit about it?

S: I can try. The way I got into actual art was trying to replicate the art of the game Fallen London. They use rather simple shapes, fog and lights. Creating more of a Silhouette of their objects rather than actually drawing them. They also tend to use images with very few colors, which is also something I’ve taken with me. This way I was able to create expansive landscapes by placing layer after layer on top of each other. This results in an image that is hard to describe digitally but when people ask I tend to describe it as a Digital Paper Diorama, which I find very apt.

The way I tend to work consists of really just a few techniques, repeated for each of my “layers”

  1. I Create a new Layer Group and name it with a number. This layer group will contain everything I need for one segment of my image.
  2. I draw my silhouetted landscape on a layer in this group, this is my Base layer.
  3. I add a linear gradient ontop of the base layer and make it apply to only the layer below it by setting the clipping option of the layer to Clip to Background.
  4. I add another layer group inside the layer group. This one I name “Lights”. It consists of a base layer as well which are the shapes. but in order to easily be able to change the color of these lights I make another layer ontop of it and naming it Color, similarly setting it to only apply to the Lights layer below it. Once I feel satisfied with this layer I duplicate it and run a Gaussian Blur on it, making it create a glow bloom on the light sources.

I replicate this Group Layer structure for each of the “layers” I need in my images. I usually end up with around 10 to 20 of these groups in my images. And while the above list is the base of them, many become more advanced as I need things added.

What’s important to me with this structure is the fact that it’s very easy to go back to it and edit it. At any point in my workflow I want to be able to determine that “This part here on layer 3 doesn’t really work with this great tree placement on layer 13”. At those points I don’t want there to be anything to stop me from going back to Layer 3 and change it to how I need it to be.

As I see it, the more non-destructive editing I do, the less I become tied down to decisions I made 10 hours back in my workflow.

This does create some rather large files, but as long as my computer can handle it I feel it’s a crucial part of my workflow.

Just for an example, the latest piece I did was a piece related to Remedy Entertainments Alan Wake games. The whole project took some 15h of work time and ended up with some 170 individual layers.

W: Is there any of your illustrations that hold a special place in your mind?

S: There are many, I could pick a lot out of my early work that were the point where I felt like I was actually happy with my results, and eager to show them off. But instead I will pick a piece I named Land of the Cherry Blossoms.

“Land of the Cherry Blossoms”, illustration by Sevenix (used during 3.0 release candidates) — CC by-sa 4.0 International

This was probably the first real piece I did that was not simply based on other works. Up to this point I had made most my work by trying to replicate styles, testing out techniques and basing it on already existing lore. This piece was the first time I made something that felt like it was me putting something on the canvas that was all me.

There are a lot of inspirations in this piece of course. A classic Japanese setting in pink with Sakura trees are in no way mind-bending. But it was mine, straight out of my head, and piled on with all the thousands of small details I like adding to my work.

This was also one of my first pieces to become really popular on Print on Demand sites, providing me with visions of a potential future where I could actually do this for a job.

All of this. The positive feedback, the actual small amounts of money it brought in, not to mention the joy I felt with creating it, really put this piece as one of the most impactful of my digital artist career.

W: What do you think of the latest GIMP 3 series?

S: I really like it! There were some issues in the very earliest releases but they were fixed fast and I now moved over to using 3.0 for my regular, daily work. It looks much more modern to start, but what really wins me over are some long awaited features such as non-destructive editing.

W: Any specific feature in 3.0 that caught you by surprise?

S: Multi-layer selection. When I first heard about it being added to GIMP I had no idea how perfectly it would fit into my workflow. The ability to save selections allow me to easily select all of my “color” layers of the color I want to replace, then simply fill them all with my new color.

In the old workflow I had to change one layer first, then click every other layer one by one, repeating the same action on each of them. Even providing I was happy with the end result, this was still some 20 or 30 actions I had to do manually.

In 3.0 I can do all that in just 4 actions!

W: What are your favorite features or main reasons why you appreciate GIMP?

S: I enjoy the fact that it is open source and free. I say that as someone who would never have gotten into image editing or digital art unless I would have been able to simply download it and start trying.

W: What are the features you really wished GIMP had, or things you’d like to see improved or changed?

I’ve been using the 2.10 version since I started with digital art, and as such there was always the continuous rumors about a 3.0 version arriving sometime in the far future. It wasn’t till I actually got into the GIMP community that I realized that the 3.0 version really didn’t seem that far off at all. Ever since then I’ve followed the development and believe it or not, just about everything I wished for seems to be implemented in 3.0. Multi-layer select, Non-destructive editing. Just such a simple thing as the decision to change the default Paste functionality from the very beginner hostile Paste as Floating Layer was great.

There are of course things that still can improve, and definitely things I could see myself using if they were implemented. And if you forced me to mention one I think it would be something similar to Adobes Smart Objects. Being able to add another GIMP image into your current GIMP image.

W: Apart from contributing to the project with illustrations, you also help with moderation on Discord. Could you talk about it?

S: I was very happy when I found the Discord. GIMP is an advanced program and in that it can be very hard to navigate when you are new. Joining the community on Discord allowed me access to a quick way to throw out “stupid” questions whenever I got stuck. Issues that would usually provide me with enough frustration to simply stand up and walk away from my computer suddenly just took a quick question in a chat channel, a cool head, and some patience.

As for the moderation. I’m a person who enjoy finding things I like doing. And as I get better at them, I really enjoy helping others find that same joy.

In GIMP, most of the time when you get stuck it’s usually because of 2 or 3 common issues. Maybe you got a checkbox active that you shouldn’t. Maybe you accidentally set your layer to 0% opacity. Maybe you happened to set the Mode of your brush to Screen.

In either of those cases, you learn each time you figure it out. And with some help that goes much faster. As soon as I had gotten stuck enough times, I was able to help answer literally half the questions that were asked in the Discord channel. And people were always so appreciative. Most of the times those that get help there also end up posting the results of their work a bit later, and it’s awesome to know we were part of making that happen.

I say We because I’m in no way alone in this. While I was later promoted to a moderation role in the discord, the moderation itself has always been quite easy. What really impressed me is how popular the Discord server has become. These days it’s frequented by so many people that you hardly got a chance to answer questions unless you literally pounce at them the moment they appear.

My work as a moderator is a very easy one, all thanks to the absolute amazing community in there that crave to help others, improve their own work, or show off their latest creative works.

W: Any closing remarks for this interview?

S: Thanks for picking me for this. As I mentioned earlier, I love talking about and sharing my passions. Combining not only Digital Art but the general history and development of GIMP into the same interview could literally have me talking for ages.

GIMP 3.1.2: First Development Release towards GIMP 3.2

22 juin 2025 à 18:00

In keeping with our new release schedule, we’re proud to announce GIMP 3.1.2, the first development version of what will become GIMP 3.2! This release contains a number of new features that we’ve been working on in-between bugfixes for GIMP 3.0. We’re looking forward to your testing and feedback as we continue adjusting and tweaking the code and design of them.

GIMP 3.1.2: splash screen

Our new development splash screen was created by Ville Pätsi and commemorates our recent visit to the 2025 Libre Graphics Meeting

Note that a development release is not ready for production use. It might crash. If it didn’t have problems it would be 3.2 already. So please do test, but understand this is a feature release for early adopters and for the more adventurous!

Theme colors for Brush, Font, and Palette

Brush previews in GIMP are printed on a white background. For grayscale brushes, we use black to represent the brush stroke. Since the Brush dockable displays many brush previews side by side, it can create a distractingly bright section if you’re using the Dark or Gray themes, especially in grid mode.

We now have a toggle to make brush previews rendered with the theme foreground and background colors instead. This means that in dark mode, the brush background will be a darker color while the brush itself will be lighter. The fonts dockable also has this toggle, and palette displays will automatically use the theme colors. Note that this is a cosmetic change only and does not affect how you create brushes.

Auto-match Windows and Linux OS theme

GIMP defaults to the Dark mode version of our Default theme on first load. Thanks to the hard work of several contributors (Hari Rana, Niels De Graef, Isopod, and Jehan), we know have an additional “System Colors” color scheme so that GIMP matches your current OS theme preferences on Windows and Linux (provided your OS supports the portal). GIMP’s theme will also automatically update if you change your system preference.

You can of course still explicitly set a color scheme in Preferences or the Welcome Dialog if you’d prefer to use a scheme that’s different from your OS.

If you’re a macOS developer and are interested in adding support for this feature on your platform, please reach out!

New Paint Mode: Overwrite

New contributor Woynert implemented a new paint blend mode called Overwrite. It allows you to directly replace the pixels over the area you paint, without blending the transparency values of the brush and the existing pixels in that area.

Example of how Overwrite blending mode works
Example of how Overwrite blending mode works - GIMP 3.1.2

This new mode is particularly useful for pixel art, when you want to overwrite your target opacity over the source opacity, and is mostly targetted at the Pencil tool. With the brush tool or other paint tools, some interpolation of opacity and color will still happen for softer transitions as this is what is usually expected with these tools.

For these non-pencil use cases, we are still tweaking the algorithm and we welcome feedback. For the pencil tool use cases though, the sharp overwrite of color and alpha is pretty much what is expected from this mode.

Note also that this new mode is only available as a paint mode (in particular, you won’t find it in the list of layer modes or effect modes).

New Text Outline Option

There’s a new setting in the text tool to control the direction of the text outline. You can have the text outline grow inward, outward, or in both directions!

Non-destructive editing

Co-Maintainer Michael Natterer spent several days during the Libre Graphics Meeting, going over the non-destructive filter code in order to clean it up and refactor it. While this is mostly behind-the-scenes work, this should reduce bugs and make future development and maintenance much easier.

Building on this work, GIMP now supports adding non-destructive filters to channels! The Channels dockable now shows the same Fx column as the Layers dockable, so you can edit, rearrange, delete, and merge filters on channels just like you can with layers.

CMYK

The CMYK Color Selector now calculates and displays the Total Ink Coverage of the selected color. This is useful when printing, as depending on the printing system and the media used, there may be a limit on how much ink can be applied.

File format support

We have added support for several new formats and improved some existing ones. Are there image formats you need? Let us know and we can investigate whether we can add them.

ART Raw Loader

We’re adding support for using ART (AnotherRawTherapee) as a Camera Raw loader in GIMP, in addition to our existing support for darktable and RawTherapee. If you have ART already installed, GIMP should automatically recognize it and use it to load Camera Raw format images for further editing. If that doesn’t work for you, please reach out and let us know!

Krita Palette

By request, we’ve added a new option to export to Krita‘s .kpl palette format from GIMP. You can do this by choosing Export as from the menu in the Palette dockable.

Photoshop Patterns

Jacob Boerema has added support for importing Photoshop patterns! You can put Adobe .pat files in the GIMP pattern folder and automatically load them in the same way as GIMP’s own .pat files. We have tested this feature with RGB and grayscale Photoshop patterns, but if you run into any issues with your patterns, please let us know (and include the pattern file)!

Photoshop Curves and Levels presets

You can now use presets from Photoshop’s Curves and Levels filters in GIMP’s Curves and Levels filters! When you use these filters, choose Import Current Settings from File... from the Preset menu and select your .acv or .alv preset respectively. If your preset doesn’t work with those filters, please let us know (and include the preset files)!

PSD/PSB

Alx Sa has implemented initial support for exporting PSBs, Photoshop Large format. It is very similar to PSDs - the main difference is that you can export images up to 300,000 pixels wide and tall instead of PSD’s 30,000 limit. Thanks to Ville Pätsi for their initial testing. If you work with very large images (or PSBs in general), we’d appreciate your testing and feedback!

Also, our PSD/PSB importer now recognizes legacy Drop Shadow and Inner Shadow non-destructive filters. These will be converted to GIMP’s non-destructive Dropshadow filter so you can edit and adjust them after opening the image.

APNG

GIMP can now import APNG animations. People building or packaging GIMP should note that we used the standard libpng for this, not a patched version, so no changes are needed.

OpenEXR

We’ve now added support for loading multi-layer OpenEXR images. For instance, if you export a multi-view image from other software such as Blender, all views should show up in GIMP as individual layers.

JPEG 2000

We have had import support for JPEG 2000 images for many years. Steve Williams of Advance Software implemented an export plug-in for their own use and shared a GIMP 3 compatible version with us. We have merged it into the existing JPEG 2000 loader, so now you can both import and export JPEG 2000 images!

Playstation TIM

Andrew Kieschnick originally developed a GIMP 2 plug-in to load and export Sony Playstation 1 TIM textures and images. We have updated the code to be compatible with GIMP 3 and incorporated it as a standard image plug-in.

OpenRaster

OpenRaster is a file format intended to help share layered images between graphics editors (such Krita, MyPaint, and Scribus). In addition to the standard format (which GIMP already supports), there are two official extensions to remember which layers were selected and which ones were content locked. GIMP now supports exporting and importing both.

Over The Air Bitmap

We’ve added import support for Nokia’s historical black and white Over-the-Air Bitmap format. (Hey, ImageMagick supports it too!)

Jeff’s Image Format

As promised in our April news post, we have added import support for the GIF variant known as Jeff’s Image Format (.jif).

AVCI and HEJ2

Daniel Novomeský has added support for importing Advanced Video Coding (AVCI) still images. They’ve also added support for exporting HEJ2 images, which is an HEIF file that contains a JPEG 2000 image.

UX/UI

Denis Rangelov, Reju, Michal Vašut, and other designers have been working on a number of UX/UI updates for GIMP 3.2 in the UX repository. While the larger changes are still being designed and reviewed, we have been implementing several of their quality of life fixes:

  • We found several instances where the Foreground Selection algorithm would run when switching to another tool, even if no selection had been made yet. This caused an unnecessary lag, so we adjusted the algorithm to avoid running in those cases.

  • A few more areas where the system theme could conflict with GIMP’s theme were found and fixed. In fact, a few of these glitches were found while taking screenshots for this news post!

  • The Palette dockable now automatically selects the next swatch when you delete a previous one, allowing you to quickly delete several swatches by just clicking the Delete button repeatedly.

  • The state of the “Merge Filter” checkbox for non-destructive filters should no longer be affected if you apply a filter that currently has to be destructive, like Lens Blur. In prior versions, applying a destructive filter would always enable the checkbox for other filters, even if you had turned it off before.

  • Lock pixels” now generates an undo step in undo history, just like “Lock Position” and other locks.

Notable bug and regression fixes

Unique Color Count

The Color Cube Analysis plug-in was removed from GIMP 3, as most of its functionality already exists in the Histogram dockable. We say most, because one feature was missed - the display of how many unique colors the image has. Thankfully, Google Summer of Code student Gabriele Barbero has reimplemented this feature! You can enable it by checking “Compute unique colors” in the Histogram dockable. The count will update live as you edit the image.

Additional Fixes

Some image formats do not allow images to have transparent sections. This can be confusing if you’re not familiar with all the details of the image you imported, especially when rotating or applying a filter with transparency such as Color to Alpha. We now detect if a filter or transformation would require transparency, and automatically add an alpha channel to the layer to prevent unexpected distortions.

Jacob Boerema implemented a fix for ZDI-CAN-25082, which potentially affected loading certain DDS images on a 32-bit machine.

In the 3.0.4 news post, we implemented a fix for transparency padding when pasting a selection to other programs. Cheesequake extended this fix to also cover copy and pasting full layers to other programs. Please let us know if you notice any other related regressions!

Estecka fixed a bug where editing filters on a hidden layer would automatically cause the layer to reappear.

The legacy Jigsaw filter has been updated to work on transparent layers. While it’s not a non-destructive filter, this fix should allow you to apply it to a separate transparent layer and then use it as an overlay for your image.

Plug-in/Script Developers

We’ve added a new API to create a GimpCoordinates widget in the auto-generated dialogue. gimp_procedure_dialog_get_coordinates () will connect two numeric parameters with a chain link and a unit type dropdown. You can see an example of how it’s used in our Tile plug-in, or in our GimpUi API documentation.

Due to an oversight, unsigned integer parameters did not generate widgets in GimpProcedureDialog despite being functionally this same. This has been corrected, so now gimp_procedure_add_uint_argument () will create input fields automatically just like gimp_procedure_add_int_argument () does.

Also, Jehan added a new default behavior to the GimpChoice parameter type. If you make one with only two options, the auto-generated dialog will display radio buttons instead of a dropdown menu. You can of course override this default with gimp_procedure_dialog_get_widget (), but we think this will help save people some clicks for simple options.

Build Process

Bruno Lopes continues their hard work to improve our build and packaging processes. A few of the highlights:

  • Our build system now automatically generates a list of image formats that GIMP can open on Windows. This means rather than manually maintaining (and often forgetting to update) a list, the installer and MSIX will associate all supported images as we implement them, like the ones mentioned in this news.

  • Our Linux builds now have a similar method of auto-generating image format associations via their mimetype too. We hope to implement this feature for macOS builds as well in a future update.

  • All previously non-portable build scripts of GIMP repository have been made POSIX-compliant. This means that it’s now easier to use these on platforms like BSD. Bruno has also implemented more checks in our CI pipelines to prevent non-portable code from being reintroduced in the future. Even though most of these utility scripts will not be used on daily basis by packagers (we ported the important .sh scripts used by Meson to .py scripts since GIMP 3.0.4 development cycle), this makes our builds truly cross-platform.

Our community is deeply thankful as well to the internet warriors who manage our various discussion channels or social network accounts such as Ville Pätsi, Liam Quin, Michael Schumacher and Sevenix!

Note: considering the number of parts in GIMP and around, and how we get statistics through git scripting, errors may slip inside these stats. Feel free to tell us if we missed or mis-categorized some contributors or contributions.

Team news

Our Google Summer of Code students are making great progress with their summer projects!

Gabriele Barbero is making some much-requested improvements to our on-canvas text editor. In their test branch, they’ve made the style editor moveable, and each text layer remembers its editor’s position when you switch between them. With a little more polish and bug-testing, this feature should show up in a future 3.1 development release!

Ondřej Míchal has created a GEGL Filter Browser prototype in their own test branch. This involved a lot of research, as there any a number of edge cases and formats to account for. When finished, this feature will be very useful for script and plug-in developers, especially with the new filter API that lets them create and apply any effect available in GIMP!

Shivam is working on a website to list and display third-party GIMP extensions (the rebirth of the GIMP registry that older creators may have known). A first version of the script to generate extensions’ web pages from their metadata has already been merged.

Around GIMP

We printed stickers of the new Wilber logos for the 2025 Libre Graphics Meeting.

You can use this file if you’d like to print your own Wilber stickers. You can also request reimbursement if you’re planning to print enough to hand out at a local event or GIMP User Group meeting. Note that we are still working out the procedure for these requests, but we encourage you to reach out and discuss your idea.

Downloading GIMP 3.1.2

You will find all our official builds on GIMP official website (gimp.org):

  • Linux AppImages for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Linux flatpaks for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • Universal Windows installer for x86 (32 and 64-bit) and for ARM (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Store package for x86 and ARM (64-bit)
  • macOS DMG packages for Intel hardware
  • macOS DMG packages for Apple Silicon hardware

Other packages made by third-parties are obviously expected to follow (Linux or *BSD distributions’ packages, etc.).

There is no development release for the manual, but you can continue to use the existing GIMP 3.0 documentation from GIMP 3.1.

What’s next

This first development release contains many new features we’ve been working on during 3.0 development. Our main focus for GIMP 3.2 on the roadmap is developing two new types of non-destructive layers - linked layers and vector layers. We hope to share more information about these in future news posts.

This faster pace release schedule also proves to be quite stimulating and relies on years of infrastructure and procedure preparations. So far, it looks like it works quite well!

While we remind that this is a development version and therefore we advise against using it for production, we also really welcome feedback and bug reports. At every first stable release in a new series, too many bugs are discovered. GIMP is a community, first and foremost. The software will improve because many people participate! Now that we are starting the development releases for a brand new stable series, we are really relying on everyone so that the upcoming GIMP 3.2 can be as stable and good as possible.

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger!

Right after Inkscape Summit in Nuremberg, from May 28th to the 31st, the team attended to the Libre Graphics Meeting 2025, also in Nuremberg. It was a great opportunity to learn and share, and a unique experience to see how Inkscape contributes to the Libre Graphics scenario globally.

LGM 2025 featured a series of talks and workshops, covering aspects of creative software development, demoing real use cases for libre graphics, and pushing boundaries of technology as a platform for creative experimentation. From graphic design to embroidery stitching, XML editing to retro video game UI emulation, Inkscape showed up as an important part on the arts, design, and maker communities.

Ink/Stitch — Talk

https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/program/ink-stitch/
Daniel K. Schneider gave an excellent overview around embroidery stitching as a durable and versatile artistic expression, with many areas of application. All existing embroidery machinery use proprietary file formats and require expensive software. Ink/Stitch is an Inkscape extension that offers a full-fledged, cross-platform embroidery digitizing platform. It is based entirely on free and open-source software. In the past year, Ink/Stitch had 225 thousand downloads. It's user base have an active community of 10k+ french speaking users in a Facebook group.

Daniel mentioned that one of Inkscape's advantage for building Ink/Stitch is that it is already familiar to the makers community, from other activities (like laser cutting). Inkscape's drawing conventions can be used to define stitch types (a thick stroke translates to satin stitches, for example), which is interpreted and converted by Ink/Stitch into real embroidery patterns. It is super cool to see Ink/Stitch converting SVGs and simulating the output.

How to Run a Film Festival on Libre Graphics — Talk

https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/program/how_to_run_a_film_festival_on_libre_graphics/
Marc Rodrigues organized and ran the first LusOFest — Festival for Portuguese-Language Film in Offenbach am Main. Lusofest 2025 featured work from 6 countries and received 6 film makers. It's more than 350 visitors were able to attend to 3 feature films exhibitions and watch 40 out of 500+ submitted short films. As stated by Marc, "Organising a film festival is 90% communication". Marc covered the importance of advertising and rooting for people to come for your festival. All communication and promotional materials, were done entirely with FOSS. And as mentioned by Marc, Inkscape was the obvious choice for all the Graphic Design work, producing printed post cards, social media postings, and more.

A photo of a slide with the sayings 'The Oscars 2025', 'I'm Still Here' wins Best International Feature Film, 'Flow' wins Best Animated Feature Film, and a picture of directors Walter Salles and Gints Zilbalodis hugging and holding their awards. Lusofest.

Inkscape UI Vision Going Forward — Talk

https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/program/inkscape_ui_vision_going_forward/
UX designer Henrique Perticarati walked through the design process for an Inkscape UI vision work, and how this proposal gained traction with the community. Henrique proposes that a friendlier UI would be more inviting to new users, and a larger user base would lead to more contributions. He also pointed out that tools like Blender, GIMP and Scribus had recently gone through UI redesigns, and that there's momentum in the community for a UX-led transformation. This vision work helped Henrique to build trust with Inkscape's community and start collaborating with other members (Yotam Guttman, Wen-Wei Kao, Adam Belis, Mike Kowalski) around the future of Inkscape UX. During the talk, Henrique covered some insights about UX related users' interests, based on analysis of Gitlab issues. These insights will help determine further research and UI explorations. Stay tuned for news around the UX initiative!

Hello everyone,

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all of you who support the project with your donations.

Mint 20.x EOL

It’s been 5 years already!

Linux Mint 20.x releases (i.e. 20, 20.1, 20.2 and 20.3) reached EOL (End of Life) and are no longer supported. They will continue to work but they will no longer receive security updates from the repositories.

If you’re running Mint 20.x, you have two main options:

– Fresh installation of Linux Mint 22.1 (recommended): This is supported until 2029 and is the cleanest approach – backup your data and do a fresh install.

– Upgrade path through Mint 21: This gets you support until 2027 and involves multiple steps:

The minor upgrades towards 20.3 are quite simple, easy and fast. The upgrade from 20.3 to 21 on the other hand is a major upgrade. It is longer and more complicated. Take your time with this one and don’t hesitate to seek assistance within the community, in the chat room or on the forums.

For more information on upgrades visit https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html.

Fingerprint Authentication

Linux Mint 22.2 will feature a brand new app called “Fingwit“.

Fingwit is a fingerprint configuration tool.

It detects if your computer has a fingerprint reader and lets you record your fingerprints.

It then configures your system to use fingerprint authentication for:

  • The login screen
  • The screensaver
  • sudo commands
  • Admin apps (pkexec)

Under the hood, Fingwit uses fprintd but provides a smarter PAM module than pam_fprintd.so. Whereas fprintd just uses fingerprint authentication all the time, Fingwit is able to detect problematic cases and dynamically switch between fingerprint and password authentication. For instance if you’re trying to log in but your home directory is encrypted, fingerprint authentication would log you in but your session would crash since ecryptfs requires your password. Fingwit detects that kind of things so you get fingerprint authentication as much as possible, but avoid such issues.

Fingwit is an XApp so it works everywhere, in any desktop environment and on any Linux distribution.

XViewer color correction

While working on themes and colors, it came to our attention that the XViewer image viewer was applying an EDID-based color correction filter to pictures and wasn’t showing pictures exactly as they were.

This “feature” could sometimes lead to a scenario where you could take a screenshot of an app, open up the screenshot, color pick the app and the screenshot of the app and get different color codes.

Color management is already handled at hardware and desktop level, so we found this feature in Xviewer surprising and counter-intuitive. We decided to make it optional and to disable it by default.

libAdwaita apps and patches

Starting with Linux Mint 22.2, libAdwaita will be patched to work with themes. Support for libAdwaita was added to Mint-Y, Mint-X and Mint-L.

The following apps will be upgraded to their libAdwaita versions:

  • gnome-calendar
  • simple-scan
  • baobab

libAdapta fork

In the scope of XApp and for our own projects, libAdwaita was forked into libAdapta:

https://github.com/xapp-project/libadapta

LibAdapta is libAdwaita with theme support and a few extra.

It provides the same features and the same look as libAdwaita by default.

In desktop environments which provide theme selection, libAdapta apps follow the theme and use the proper window controls.

LibAdapta also provides a compatibility header which makes it easy for developers to switch between libAdwaita and libAdapta without requiring code changes.

Framework

Last but not least, I wanted to talk about Framework a little bit.

The company sent me some of their hardware so I was able to test the Laptop 13 and the gaming Desktop already.

Their products are really nice. I hope to be able to review them soon and add them to our store section.

This isn’t just a commercial partnership. By testing this hardware we boost compatibility for the brand and significantly improve Linux Mint.

It’s thanks to Framework we implemented power profiles in Linux Mint 22.1. It’s also thanks to them that we worked on fingerprint authentication or pushed towards an HWE kernel in Linux Mint 22.2.

Their hardware challenges us to do better, because it’s packed with features in need for support.

It’s a lot of fun to play with modern tech and it’s a real treat when it contributes to making Linux Mint better!
