GIMP 2.10.0 Release Candidate 1 Released
GIMP was the first advanced image editor I have used. I grew quite fond of it and its tools. Nowadays I have moved away from it because it does not play well with macOS, but still return to it when I am on a Linux box.<p>For me, GIMP has always excelled in making simple actions simple. Even today I am quite surprised that other software has not taken some of the ideas for interface that gimp has.<p>Mainly:<p>- The selection tool is just miles ahead any of the software I have used. It makes the crop tool obsolete and every time I have to switch modes just to resize my previous rectangular selection I long for it.<p>- Resizing and clipping layers is dead simple. Other programs I have used have no "clip to selection" on layers and I have never understood why.<p>- Color to transparency is a single button<p>- Masks are actually simple to use as one can draw on them using all tools, not just some arbitrary subset<p>It has its dose of quirks and the interface is in dire need of a rework, however I must say that despite what many people say I find GIMP quite intuitive to use. I suppose that it is a force of habit.<p>Edit: formatting
