GIMP

The merge request to implement auto-growing layers when painting just got merged. The feature should be available in GIMP 3! 🥳

Thanks in particular to Shubham Daule, one of our 3 wonderful GSoC students of 2023. 👍

@GIMP I don't know what it is, but if it means GIMP will get better with that, i'm all for it, let's frikking go!

@prokoudine @GIMP Holy crap i get it now, thanks, looks very cool i gotta say. 😄

@Ray_Of_Sunlight
I'm expecting, that layer will extend when you paint outside it's borders.

@GIMP

@GIMP @doctormo this is similar to what I was thinking of in the Inkscape 20yr celebration.

The idea being the size of the document would expand if you paint outside the boundaries of the canvas.
