GIMP 3.0 is released, check it out!

gimp.org/news/2025/03/16/gimp-

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed in any way - from testing and submitting bug reports through to designing, coding, fixing, packaging, testing some more, translating, documenting, hosting, administration, so many people, so much work, so much to be thankful for!

Welcome to GIMP 3.0!

@GIMP put modern editing features in you cowards!

@jonathankoren Please keep it civil - thank you.

GIMP is produced by volunteers. If you want specific features, yes, please file issues. If you want to be on the design team join the design team. But without code being written by volunteers, there won’t be changes. Vague suggestions like “modern editing tools” are hard to implement.

@GIMP @jonathankoren I really think you should sell the software binaries like #Ardour does. Not less than US $100. Free updates until next major version.

Many human beings will always be ungrateful for what they are given for free without payment.

@opensourceopenmind @jonathankoren to be fair, many people are also ungrateful to things they paid for...!

@GIMP @jonathankoren Yes, but at least you'll get some funding for development out of it. Maybe even some insight into what features paid users are missing. Right now, complaining is free without much benefit - instead you have to put in time and effort to reply.

@opensourceopenmind @jonathankoren Thanks! We do have patreon links for some of the developers, and people do donate. Development direction is partly what interests the volunteers (since they are volunteers!) and partly informed by the thousands of requests and issues we get on gitlab and elsewhere.
