Outside GIMP itself, the GEGL image-processing engine also gets a “hefty” update. New UI for non-destructive image editing in GEGL standalone Since we last wrote about GIMP, the developers have also added Spherize, Recursive Transform and Little Planet filters, asynchronous font loading, a new horizon straightening tool, and support for vertical text. In addition, the DDS plugin, used by games artists and modders to create and edit textures in DDS format, is now part of GIMP’s core add-ons, enabling the software to load. There are also a number of updates to the software’s transform tools and the Heal tool can now be used non-destructively by choosing to make painting changes on a separate layer. The update also makes it possible to pick layers directly from the canvas, with GIMP automatically cycling through layers in the layer stack that contribute to the pixel selected. It is also now possible to store brushes and patterns created from images copied to the clipboard, rather than these only being available on a temporary basis. GIMP’s raster brushes remain 8-bit, but promoting them to 32-bit is a “planned future work”. Workflow improvements include 32-bit floating-point precision for the software’s parametric brushes, which should reduce posterisation when painting with very large brushes. ģ2-bit precision for key brushes, plus on-canvas layer selection
Users can also now click and drag the mouse to keep filling adjacent regions of a drawing and can sample colours from other parts of the canvas by holding. It automatically fills areas bounded by drawn lines, even if they don’t form a completely closed boundary.
New features in GIMP 2.10.10 include a new algorithm for the Bucket Fill tool, shown in action in the image above, intended to enable users to colorise line art. Updated Bucket Fill tool colorises line art intelligently GEGL, GIMP’s primary image-processing engine, has also been updated, with the standalone edition getting a new UI designed to enable real-time non-destructive image manipulation.
The GIMP team has released GIMP 2.10.10, the latest update to the open-source image-editing software, with new options to colorise line art, 32-bit precision for parametric brushes, and on-canvas layer selection. Scroll down for news of the 2.10.18 update.
