Satisfying. I’ve been scarred by that GIF loop of that truck perpetually approaching the post, and to see the impact is like pulling the screen protector off a new TV. Bliss.
I honestly didn’t know footage of it crashing existed. I accepted that someone had released a true horror into the world.

Accurate because it crashes on startup for me.
11/10 no notes
Is it good?
Here’s a circle I made
10/10 I mean 3.14
looking to get a job with the pope?
nah, I’m not very good on my knees
You know, for kids!
in gimp it it an achievement
this guy gets it
Pretty good. Many new features, one of them being non-destructive filtering which is the ability to apply a filter (say a Gaussian blur) and then re-edit the filter parameters or even remove it without having to undo.
However, at least for me, some changes will take some time to adjust to such as “OK” and “Reset” buttons of dialogue boxes now being displayed at the top rather than the bottom.
Also years work of changes without the wider public testing them means that there are a few bugs/annoyances, one of them being the checkerboard pattern for transparency being replaced with a solid colour (equal to the background colour) when you zoom in too much.
Yeah I really wish they’d done more frequent releases than this one huge update after years. Still, it’s fantastic to finally have non-destructive editing - a huge missing feature.
The trouble was, they were ripping out and replacing the core of the whole program in order to accomplish that non-destructive editing. It was the kind of thing that wasn’t usable at all until it was complete.
Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the insight.
“OK” and “Reset” buttons of dialogue boxes now being displayed at the top rather than the bottom
I am so unbelievably fed up with Ui changes for no reason.
GIMP is the last application I would criticize for changing its UI, but putting the dialogue buttons at the top seems like a weird choice even for it.
That (nondestructive filtering) is huge. One of the most frustrating things about blender for me was the ‘commitments’ you had to make. God, that’s fuckin’ awesome. I’ll have to check it out later, sounds like a jump forward.
It is atleast 50% better than Gimp 2.
The numbers check out!
This made me remember there is a video of this that is not the trolling GIF loop: https://youtu.be/nP6SKDppwes
Oh my god thank you 😭
Even after reading both of your comments, I had to confirm for myself, just in case both you two and every single person in the youtube replies was also trolling.
We’re all equally scarred, I get it
The guy has a weird english accent. He pronounces bollard “boe-lard” and debris “day-bree”
So… an English accent?
nah
I feel deja vu… Didn’t gimp 3 also release like months ago?
That was probably a release candidate you were thinking of.
I may have flatpacked it because I’m too impatient for the official apt-get to have 3.0 :) I then remembered I have no art skills and closed it after drawing squiggles :)
i remember gimp being unpleasant to use. is it good now?
Single window mode was the last major milestone (to me at least) for GIMP. It made such a huge difference to usability, to the point that GIMP became a viable photoshop alternative.
I thought it was a 2.0 (released 2004) feature, but turns out it was a 2.8 (2012) feature. (2.0 was the GTK2 switch)
Either way, I remember both releases, and now I feel old.
GIMP, Inkscape. Keep on trucking. It’s been 20+ years and every one has shown improvements over the last.
Any good changes?
So its now easy to use? I’m familiar with Krita and I still struggle to get into Gimp
Krita is primarily for painting/creating art and GIMP is about image manipulation, right? I’m not sure if they’re aiming for the same thing.
Photoshop is also about image manipulation but it was like the number one for digital art to many artist before that place was took by Clip Studio. Also before a lot of the even more shady practices from these days
I’m very used to using it now, but I remember being very confused and frustrated to start with. Gimp is all about layers and selections which was rather new to men when I got into it, so rather than using a circle drawing tool you instead select a circle and then fill it and stuff like that
The UI/UX is very similar, they just added some non destructive image modifiers (similar to Blender), better text editing, and a bunch of under the hood stuff that should help in the future.
✅ hell yeah
✅ change the name you cowards

Because.
Why what?
Why what where?
