GIMP 2.6 released

Oct 4th, 2008 | By Premnath Sah | Category: Applications, Imaging, Software

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Software) has released its 2.6 version which packs lots of new features.

Major Changes:

Toolbox Menubar Removed
Toolbox and Docks are Utility window
Ability to Pan Beyond Image Border
Improved Free Select Tool
Brush Dynamics
Minor Changes
GEGL

Important progress towards high bit-depth and non-destructive editing in GIMP has been made. Most color operations in GIMP are now ported to the powerful graph based image processing framework GEGL, meaning that the interal processing is being done in 32bit floating point linear light RGBA. By default the legacy 8bit code paths are still used, but a curious user can turn on the use of GEGL for the color operations with Colors / Use GEGL.
