Release news for version GIMP 3.0 RC1

2024-11-06 by GIMP Team

We are very excited to share the first release candidate for the long-awaited GIMP 3.0! We’ve been hard at work since our last development update to get this ready, and we’re looking forward to everyone finally being able to see the results.

So, what exactly is a “release candidate” (RC)? A release candidate is something that might be ready to be GIMP 3.0, but we want the larger community to test it first and report any problems they find. If user feedback reveals only small and easy to fix bugs, we will solve those problems and issue the result as GIMP 3.0. However, we hope and expect a much larger audience to try out 3.0 RC1 - including many people who have only been using 2.10 up until now. If larger bugs and regressions are uncovered that require more substantial code changes, we may need to publish a second release candidate for further testing.

    Haven’t tried it for quite some time, but does it finally have a UI designed by and for human beings instead of Vogons?

      Coming from RISC OS art programs, I found GIMP’s UI perfectly intuitive. I had used PS for a few years after Acorn and before GIMP. It’s just different UI paradigms.

      No UI change. I personally like the UI, but if you dislike it, well its still the same. I really don’t understand what problem with the UI you have…

        I can’t say I like it, but it’s not that bad. Certainly no where near as bad as some of the clusterfuck chaotic crap that Microsoft inflict on us.
