Added RGB support to the csource plug-in. A Cairo based PDF exporter was implemented. While being somewhat simplistic the exporter saves text, embedding fonts into the final PDF file, and attempts to convert all flat filled areas to vector objects. Developer: Barak Itkin. Last, but not least, a Web-page plug-in was added to render any web page into an image using Webkit. Developer: Mukund Sivaraman. A new experimental widget was added to meet the requirements of graphic tablets users. The widget combines a slider, a label and a numeric value control which simplifies adjusting a value using a stylus, better visualizes the current value and provides a more compact UI.
It is now used in the Tools Options dockable dialog for opacity control and most options of brush based tools. Another useful feature for users of advanced input devices such as graphic tablets is a completely new dialog for input device configuration which allows configuring per-device pressure curves to compensate for hardware differences and personal per-pen preferences. It is now possible to tag GIMP resources such as brushes and patterns to group them. The tagging is performed from the respective dockables e.
The tags are saved to an XML file, external to the data files themselves. It is possible to tag multiple resources simultaneously in the UI , but currently only while being viewed as a list. This feature was developed during Google Summer of Code We have started overhauling the default set of resources and in this version there have been some changes to the default set of brushes.
A wholly new set of brushes for painting has been added and makes use of the new tagging system. For example, API changes to support layer groups have been made. Here is a list of new symbols in GIMP 2. The projection code which composes a single image from layers has been ported to GEGL.
This includes the layer modes, as well as support for layer groups. Also, preparations have been made for better and more intuitive handling of the floating selection. Developers: Michael Natterer, Martin Nordholts. To address the needs to migrate from the old tools presets system to the new one we provide a script in Python.
For instance, brush scale from 2. GIMP can be downloaded directly from our Downloads section. If you want to keep your GIMP 2. If you do not set up your environment differently for each version, you will experience conflicts with the libraries and at least one version is likely to fail.
Also, do not install GIMP 2. Do not forget to export both variables. You can use a tiny wrapper script called gimp The script would look something like this:. Search Bugzilla before filing a new bug-report. Here are some interesting Bugzilla queries:. This enables window managers to do a much better job of managing the GIMP windows, including omitting the Toolbox and Docks from the taskbar and ensuring that the Toolbox and Docks always are above image windows.
The Navigation dialog now allows panning beyond the image border; so it is no longer a problem to use a brush on the edge of an image that fills the entire display window.
Also, if a utility window covers the image, you can pan the image to view or edit the portion covered by the utility window. The freehand select tool has been enhanced to support polygonal selections. It also allows mixing free hand segments with polygonal segments, editing of existing segments, applying angle-constraints to segments, and of course the normal selection tool operations like add and subtract.
Altogether this ends up making the Free Select Tool a very versatile, powerful and easy-to-use selection tool. Brush dynamics uses an input dynamic such as pressure, velocity, or random, to modify brush parameters such as opacity, hardness, size, or color; every brush supports size and opacity, most support more. Velocity and random are usable with a mouse.
The Ink tool, that supported velocity, has been overhauled to better handle velocity-dependent painting. Brush dynamics have enabled a new feature in stroking paths. What this means is that when your stroke is painted, GIMP tells the brush that the pressure and velocity are varying along the length of the stroke.
Pressure starts with no pressure, ramps up to full pressure, and then ramps down again to no pressure. Velocity starts from zero and ramps up to full speed by the end of the stroke.
Added a bounding box for the Text Tool that supports automatic wrapping of text within that bounding box. Move handles for rectangle based tools like Crop and Rectangle Select to the outside of the rectangle when the rectangle is narrow. Mark the center of rectangles while they are moved, and snap the center to grid and rulers. Added ability to save presets in all color tools for color adjustments you use frequently.
The Screenshot plug-in has been given the ability to capture the mouse cursor using Xfixes. Display aspect ratio of the Crop and Rectangle Select Tool rectangles in the status bar. Data file folders like brush folders are searched recursively for files. To use them, you have to compile them yourself. Since GIMP 2. From now on odd sub numbers micro version numbering in the stable branch are working draft versions where the work of bugfixing is being done.
Instead the next stable version will be a 2. Same is for the unstable branches which are marked with odd numbers like 2. Here the micro numbers i. Even micro numbers like 2. To get pre-compiled versions or the source code of GIMP , see our download page. You can get the current code base via git. It is also available for browsing in the Web. GIMP 2.
