After 7 years — new version of GIMP!

The developers of GIMP have released GIMP 3.0, the first major update to the free graphics editor in seven years. Key changes include support for non-destructive layers, text styling, off-canvas image editing, support for the Adobe RGB color space, and improved Photoshop compatibility. Long-awaited usability improvements like multiple layer selection have also been introduced. GIMP 3.0 supports non-destructive layers, which lets you edit filters and image adjustments after they’ve been applied. Text styling has also been expanded and a new Paint Select tool has been added. Other new features include off-canvas editing support, improved Photoshop compatibility, and support for new image compression formats. The update also includes support for more languages ​​for scripting and plugin development, and the development team plans to move toward more frequent, but smaller, releases. The next update to GIMP 3.2 is expected within a year, following a series of bug fixes in version 3.0.
