We need to land this fix before we can release the GNOME Shell 44.1 update. I also included the update to GTK4 4.10.3. Andreas recognized a regression triggered by the GNOME Shell update, so I uploaded a GTK4 fix for that.Uploaded GNOME Shell 44.1 as a proposed SRU for Ubuntu 23.04.The program is loaded with tutorials and there’s plenty of assistance to be found in the active and helpful community, so don’t worry if you get stuck – help is always at hand. The interface is highly customizable, and the GIMP community has produced a ton of excellent plugins that are all free to download. Unfortunately, some of the icons, like the one for the crop tool shown, are different from the ones used by Photoshop, so finding your favorite may take some hunting. It also provides a window into some of the very powerful and extensible scripted image transforms that GIMP allows. The Tools’ menu pulls together a mixed bag of the same tools that are found in the Toolbox, plus some tools Adobe puts in the Image menu, like Crop. The Colors and Tools menus are unique to GIMP, with Colors pulling together operations that affect image content, that are usually found under the Image > Adjustments menu in Photoshop. Menus also closely parallel Photoshop’s, with File, Edit, Select, View, Image, Filters, and Help to serve the same functions - although in a slightly different order. You can eliminate flaws easily with the excellent clone stamp and healing tools, create custom brushes, apply perspective changes, and apply changes to isolated areas with smart selection tools. The photo editing toolkit is breathtaking, and features layers, masks, curves, and levels. Individual tabs can be torn off (although it requires using a command on the palette menu instead of Adobe’s more intuitive action), so you can tweak GIMP UI just about as much as you can Photoshop’s.
Familiar panels for Layers, Brushes, Tools, Paths, and plenty of others are available. When you first load GIMP 2.8, you might be forgiven for thinking that you’d fired up an alternate UI for Photoshop. There’s plenty for the more advanced user, too, including layer masks, Bézier curves, filters and even an animation package. GIMP comes with impressive selection and montage features, various ways to retouch your images, cropping, noise reduction and color adjustment tools, customizable brushes, gradients and so much more. Its openly extensible nature means that in some areas, like running well-known image processing algorithms on your photos, it actually outshines Adobe Photoshop. GIMP now has a very competent user interface, as well as an extensive and powerful set of features. The reality has changed dramatically over the last couple years. GIMP is a free, open-source, image editor, the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) has been a go-to tool for Linux users for years, but has a reputation for being hard to use and lacking many of Photoshop’s features.
