Development news for everyone afraid they'd lose Resynthesizer: Lloyd Konneker has been working on finishing up the porting of #Resynthesizer plug-in for #GIMP v3, so that it is ready when GIMP 3.0.0 is out. 👍

#GIMP 3.0.0 RC3 is now at 83% with only 10 issues to fix!

You'll notice how we are now at 49 already closed reports now, while we were at 14 to close with 38 closed reports a few days ago! 😉

Things are getting exciting again!

On other social platforms too?

Today i made

today for GIMP announcements and news. GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

I’m barefootliam.bsky.social although i post mainly here on Mastodon.

There was a report from a few years ago about not being able to open Google Drive images in #GIMP. The assumption was that there were issues with accessing volatile files on a cloud platform.

The problem turned out to be much simpler - Google Drive returns an ID rather than the actual file name, so our auto-detect function couldn't match the image extension! :)

Thanks to help from Khalid Abu Shawarib, we now use the display-name which works for all files!

Some 10% of men are "colour blind" in some form, most often red or green insensitive. Did you know that #GIMP has a display filter to simulate #colour #vision deficiency? It is a big help for #design .

Go to the View menu, pick "Display Filters", then add the "Colour Deficient Vision" filter.

After careful consideration, @zemarmot decided to publish a third release candidate for #GIMP 3.0.0, because some of the fixes we made changed some core logic. So we'll want a bit more testing.

~14 more reports to close (of course, this number fluctuates up and down as we progress, but our rhythm is good so far!) before RC3. 🧑‍💻

A two frame composite of the Milky Way and my kitty "Ding" waiting for me to join him in the freezing cold tent. Ding loved to go camping with me. I sure do miss Schrödinger, the Kampin' Kitty 💔. (Photo: Massacre Rim, International Dark Sky Sanctuary, Nevada (5/23/2020).)
