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.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.Mainly:- 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.- 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.- Color to transparency is a single button- Masks are actually simple to use as one can draw on them using all tools, not just some arbitrary subsetIt 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.Edit: formatting
