I'm pumped for that (I've used it quite in Adobe's, and recent years, in Affinity), indeed mostly because people using Gimp for mere image editing will welcome quite much the productivity gains of having it... but for many more improvements... The whole color space revamp among the top!. I have been crying for full CMYK support, but in this day and time, full Adobe RGB support is just as important or I'd say even more, and that is coming also with the "space invasion" . Also, smart guides are absolutely crucial for when you are doing more graphic design work (though in most cases that is better done in a vectors app like Affinity Designer, Illustrator, Inkscape. But there are instances when it's practical to just use a raster app like PS or gimp) and very specially when doing game (both video games and card/board games) graphics. For legions of people doing graphics and design for the web, is more than essential. Or a map of whatever if you are doing it in raster, etc, etc. For anything like a poster, business card or etc (again, best to do in Inkscape for the infinite vector resolution and etc, probably) it's quite useful. With the recent improvements in brushes and brush system, tablets support, configuration flexibility in commands related to the pen and mouse, the fix for Adobe RGB color dialogs.... I have painted with it, and Gimp, 3.0 is a tool that I am going to confidently recommend for digital painting. And as an image editor, it is very complete, now.
This looks really great. When 3.0 comes out, do you know if it will support the same versions of plugins that work with 2.10.36 (especially the G'mic plugin suite)?
I'm not sure. Some of it will probably transfer over, while some will inevitably break. I'm not sure what the proportion will be of broken to still working.@@chrisr1382
Finally! Now gimp is actually stepping in to pro software. Next, something like Smart Objects, and we are in the same league as the rest. Awesome news!
No, not really. If GIMP has already taken three decades to develop non-destructive settings, it will probably take another two or three decades. I was already using such basic functions in the mid-1990s, and GIMP is really late. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm also happy when things move forward. However, the path to pro software is a long way off. I would be very happy if there were also smart objects and smart filters. Maybe they will come with version 5 or 6 in 2040 or later. 🤷♂
Oh man, that non destructive editing and those bounding boxes alignment are just so good and so damn welcome! It feels like these features should have been in GIMP a long time ago but better late than never. But they're going to massively make GIMP so much better in my opinion, those are some really game changing workflow changes that couldn't have been more desired!
Finally, things that were supposed to be a decade ago are coming. Although I wonder why developers didn't go the universally standard approach for filter/adjustment layers, but at least this functionality is getting there! Finally!
@@Marcus-w7nI've personally submitted design changes to the interface for a very long time and I've been ignored by developers for probably at least a decade.
At last they did it! For so many years I've been struggling with Gimp's settings files to make it look OK on my 4k monitor. Now I won't have to change files manually. Great!
For those of us who are occasional GIMP users, so don't have a lot of knowledge on hand, these developments will make it so much easier to use. Thanks for explaining this update so well.
I've been having a frustrating 😤 issue. In Gimp: When I'm drawing and on a layer or have created a layer. Then want to use any tool the mode will switch from Replace with current selector to subtract from the current selection as if I switched myself. I do I PREVENT THE AND 🛑 STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. SINCE IT DOES THIS IT PREVENTS ME FROM CONTINUING TO WORK ON MY PROJECT
I am legally blind the tiny icons the Gimp of the past has had was really difficult I'm downloading this and making my icons giant pronto lol thanks for the video
@@senior_ranger hey man if you use a computer with Windows 10 or older you need to buy the Microsoft comfort optical mouse 3000! There is a button where your thumb is on the mouse and that pops up Windows magnifier but it is better and works really quickly and well for us low vision people but Windows 11 no longer supports it smh
As far as I understand, one will be able (one could already, somehow) to fully export CMYK files easily. If that is possible with the PDF export, mission accomplished. These days in raster I mostly work in Adobe RGB or other wide gamut (I'm lucky enough to have a monitor that supports that) and only convert to CMYK at the end, with some adjustments. Having a full CMYK mode would allow better that final check and final editing, but we'll see. The situation in all these years have changed, though. Many POD print companies prefer you giving them a PDF/X-4 in Adobe RGB (and some just a TIFF), and they do the conversion in their RIP, but still many require a PDF/X-1 or 3 export in CMYK, with a specific CMYK profile and ink level. So, it keeps being important (imo, not as much as the full Adobe RGB support).
I can't say that I like or hate GIMP, but these improvements are long overdue. At least if this program wants to have any relevance in the future. I mean, these non-destructive settings have been available in other programs since the mid-1990s and have actually long been part of the minimum standard. I'm happy about these improvements, and I think it's good that more thought is finally being given to the workflow. But there's still a long, long way to go before it's perfect. It is not yet the big wow moment. Maybe that will come?
Finally!!! Now some CMYK support would be most welcomed. I know it’s in the roadmap development as you clearly stated but that day can’t come soon enough
Finally! thanks for the heads up... I had been checking for a while but got busy lately... This is an update I was very much waiting for. With .17 we already got very important Wacom and tablet fixes for painters, and there was still a problem with the color dialog in Adobe RGB mode... hopefully fixed (the fixes in color space very well could be including this in .18, but I' will do a test), but if not, for sure in 3.0. I'll test it ASAP.
Huge thanks to Davies Media and to all developers involved with the GIMP project. It is astounding how much work, service, and product you offer us for absolutely nothing. I am insanely grateful. So again, thank you!!
I love how krita is so non-destructive in terms of fill layers but even as a core photo editor GIMP don't have that thing. I don't lack anything in krita that I need GIMP for that. If you think then comment here. Even it has all transformation tools like perspective tool, liquify, warp using points. The brush engine is very smooth as well.
They should probably add a little border around the layer effects when you click on the spectacles. Just so there’s not gray on gray. Kinda hard to see.
Very excited for GIMP 3.0 for sure. NDE and many of the other options you demonstrated are going to greatly improve people's workflows and save huge amounts of time for sure. I am pretty pumped to say the least. I'm curious if the filters and other elements of the new GIMP will now take advantage of multi-threading and/or GPU acceleration for a lot of the effect filters. That would be another major feature to have since some of the infrastructure for it was there for quite a number of years now. Can't wait to try the new release out before long. Thanks for the great summary video!
Thank you for the information about what's currently going on with GIMP. It looks professional now! I've been waiting for version 3 for a long time and I hope the final version will be great!
Re: non-destructive editing. As a darktable user, I'm aware of the importance of modules execution order in the pixel pipe. Gimp seems to have implemented the same idea. Cool.
GEGL is the way we get NDE's, although some filters were already NDE. GEGL is POWERFUL but misunderstood. it's like having Geometry Nodes inside of GIMP.
Thanks for the update. I think (not sure with that one) you can use the cursor keys with the slider widget when it has focus, to change its value with precision.
I might actually star using GIMP again. I want to support FOSS but lack of adjustment layers was a deal-breaker for me. Having to deal with workarounds really breaks your flow. I'm sure I'm not the only one who found this a deal-breaker so I hope it can give GIMP a new wave of interest from people.
Wish it came with a dark high-contrast theme, like the background is black not gray, and text is white not light gray, and maybe white borders to make the UI elements easily recognisable.
I didn't know there was a channel dedicated to open source Gimp. I played with Gimp a while back, and although it got me through some quick projects while I was broke and couldn't afford Ps, I thought that the alternative just lacked soo many key features. But I do love that it's still evolving and the team is still working hard on it.
I'm always amazed at how much faster other, equally complex OS project iterate/improved compared to the glacial pace of gimp. I use it, but I kinda always hate it.
Hi, until now I have always used Gimp portable version and I am very happy with it. I have never tried the version to install. Could you make a comparison between these 2 versions? Thanks in advance 😊
I had hoped that the non-destructive claim would be about a kind of smart object preserving the original image e.g. after downsizing and resizing. But I can't make that work. Have I missed something?
Now I don't have to use Photoshop Elements just to get non-destructive editing. I can back to my favorite Linux version (Garuda) and use GIMP and Blender so they work faster on a Linux OS.
@2:40 You say you wish the icons were bigger, but immediately after this you show us how to scale the icon sizes up. Does this not work on the OG icons?
@@DaviesMediaDesign Gotcha. Thanks. I would think most graphics designers do use 4k monitors. It might be nice if Gimp would double that icon scaling range.
@@randbaldwinoh wait - I see what you’re saying. I was referring to the fact that the “legacy” icons just have more padding around them than the other icon options, making them smaller at their default size. I think their default size in general could be larger. Which would make them larger still with the “Huge” option selected.
Of course the UI is looking bad and it needs a little bit editing. But the Gtk3 ui kit is really good according to previous versions. For other things, Gimp needs new themes from some UI designers. New icons, colors, arranges... It's not difficult. Even I want to give recommends to Gimp devs, why you don't make the online community theme-addon library panel for gimp? The users can select themes, addons...etc from panel of the software. Is it hard to implement? I don't think so, Gimp team solves very harder issues then this for years. But there are very good features in this version. The new non-destructive editing features is quite flexible. Thanks to the Gimp contributors.
It'd be great if it was still supported on Linux as I could use it on my Chromebook Oh, hang on, just noticed the beta is still available for Linux, last time I downloaded and installed it said it was no longer being developed on Linux.
Hmm...I just hope they add options for creating shapes. something very basic and super necessary. Making circles with selection is something that is not very comfortable.-
"Non-destructive editting" is a weird name, they should be called filtering layers, or "layer effects" (which is actually what the UI says). Or at most, "non-destructive effects". "Editting" is more than just applying effects/filters... it has been possible for ages to "non-destructivelly" edit an image using drawing tools (like the pencil) in a standard layer, so technically non "destructive editting" was already possible before.
I have searched the GIMP website but can't find information on dual displays. Do both displays need to be the same or can they be different brands, sizes, can icon sizes be different, etc?
Noice! I'm using GIMP since forever... also... I'm trying to avoid relying AI tools as much as possible (**cough** Ps **cough**) as I feel this will be a slippery slope.
I hope 3.0 runs better than 2.99. The expand layers feature is sort of weird to be honest. It's a patch for a poorly thought out implementation of how layers function in GIMP to begin with. Each layer should natively be the size of the canvas with a transparency around the object--giving us the option to crop the layer to the content. This is one of the fundamental flaws of GIMP as a whole; you have to perform a bunch of actions to achieve a result that should only take one or two. But, it's free... So what are you going to do? lol At the end of the day, if you take the time to set up GIMP the way you need it, always use shortcut commands, and right-click to win, you can mitigate many of the wonky quirks inherent to GIMP.

Per September 2024 no Gimp 3.0 has surfaced, and apparently the non-destructive editing has been postponed till 3.2. When that'll be is hard to say?
Good.
I wonder if sooner or later Gimp will be also available an Android and iOS.
I would guess "later"
This is god sent.
Next gimp 3.0 I work a draw I can't wait
Danke!
Thanks for supporting the channel! Hugely appreciated.
I would like a choice of user interface: beginner, intermediate, advanced. There needs to be a non manipulative selector.

But, it's free... So what are you going to do? lol
At the end of the day, if you take the time to set up GIMP the way you need it, always use shortcut commands, and right-click to win, you can mitigate many of the wonky quirks inherent to GIMP.
It’s possible to multi-select now??
So layer effects is like adjustment layer in Photoshop?
