Fix that 90s era UI and make it look like a proper modern application (SUCH AS PHOTOSHOP) and then think about other stuff. GIMP is plenty powerful already, the UI is why people don't use it.
I'm also anticipating the release of GIMP 3.x & agree with @DaviesMediaDesign where he mentions that you shouldn't stress about perfection, but try to get a release out as soon as possible as I don't think it's the best idea to leave the GIMP website stagnant for month(s) on end without an update or at least some communication! I know this can be difficult but I also feel you should give time frames as to when an update will be released, & not say it'll be ready when it's ready, I know this is tough at the moment as it seems like most of the GIMP contributors have permanent jobs! Having said that I hope you all keep up the Good work, as you guys are doing fantastic work with GIMP!
GIMP is widely recognized, and over the years, it has received significant financial support through donations. However, it's hard to argue that substantial progress has been made during this time. While it's true that there may be a lack of active developers, one would think that with the available donation funds, the project could establish bounties or hire freelancers to drive development forward. Is there a list of donations made over the years?
As for the name controversy, the name is unfortunate. I love GIMP, but, when I proudly say, "I use GIMP", well, this sounds terrible. How can one get taken seriously? A name change to something less retarded would fix that. Marketing IS important when it comes to brand. It's about sounding competent, and not something for children.
My chief bugbear about modern UI's is flat design. I abhor flat design! Good luck getting GIMP 3 out of the door! I'm surprised Redhat, guys like that, are not helping out (as far as I know).
Adobe Creative Cloud is now $36 a month (and that's a "Save 40%" sale, Adobe has a strikeout line through "US$59.99/mo."). How many people complaining have donated even a fraction of the money they've saved by using open source programs? I've been using the GIMP 2.99 pre-release flatpak version for years and it's been good; I donated again to pippin (Øyvind Kolås) and GIMP on Liberapay. l look forward to furter GIMP improvements and I hope 3.0 serves as a platform for all the image generation AI software.
I don't know why I'm excited about 3.0, I don't even know how to use non-destructive tools in Affinity Photo or in Photoshop. I use GIMP to edit architectural renderings at work.
@@MrXlee1967 I love GIMP, but for newbies, when things go wrong, e.g. you try to draw a line but nothing happens, stuff like that, it can be hard to figure out why. Also, I have to change the GIMP 2 defaults to make it more user friendly. (Textured icons, ungrouped icons, etc)
It's fantastic! I have an Italian RU-vid channel on Gimp and we are all excited waiting for this incredible new version. I agree with Davies Media Design... don't go for perfection at all costs if it takes a long time. Thank you for your work from all of us!!!
GIMP is for power-users. Power-user UI's are, by necessity, not beginner-friendly. This the nature of UI's, if they dumbed gimp down, it would make it worse for its professional userbase. Other applications are for casual users like one's mother.
Parabéns galera e que Deus abençoe o trabalho de vocês, mas, sigam o conselho do @DaviesMediaDesign, assim quando começarmos a usá-lo serão reportados mais bugs e ai talvez se torne mais fácil corrigí-los para a versão 3.0.1, e com os novos recursos talvez apareçam mais apoiadores. Gostaria que o Gimp tivesse o botão salvar na poup up que aparece quando clicamos em fechar e esquecemos de salvar, se tornaria mais prático do que ir é arquivo e salvar, isso pra quem é iniciante e não conhece ctrl+s.
The ui is a big pile of nonsense - this is the thing humans are interacting with. Is it gtk or the devs who are not capable of making something more useful ? But you guys will get a welcome-screen - the most awaited feature nobody needs. 30 years of gimp, and still this mess.
The Best, Gimpers Thank you to everyone who is and has already been part of this team, I just have to say thank you!!! you are the best God bless you greatly for all of this!!! GO GIMP, I'M FROM BRAZIL
Slight exaggeration ;-) , at 26:41 Jehan talks about new contributors. It seems the team has put in the groundwork for faster development by improving foundations like GEGL and toolkit and using continuous integration and release infrastructure... let's hope so. How much money and time have you donated to free and open software projects to accelerate their development?
It's great to take a look in this new version! In Brazil we are so much excited to start to use in our workflow! Congratulations and thank you so much for all your efforts!
Excited for all the upcoming features... My only request is that you all don't get too hung up on imperfections and get this thing released in a reasonable timeframe. Fixes can come later. An MVP (minimum viable product) is all the community needs to get excited about this project again and help make it better. I know you want to get it to a stable state, but don't worry about perfection! Best of luck the rest of the way - and great job on your hard work thus far.
Hey, thanks for your tutorials. What will get people excited is a 3.0 beta release. I don't see any mention of one anywhere on the GIMP sites. I've been using the gimp 2.99 flatpak for years for occasional light image editing and it's been pretty smooth sailing, so even before the beta the team could have a 3.0 Developer Preview or whatever.
