The team is targeting May 2024, but it's going to be tough, and here is why

      It’s been so long that the two versions might as well be completely separate different programs at this point.

      I’ll probably run both when the new version is available because I’ve become so normalized to GIMP 2.10

      It will take me another decade to get used to GIMP 3.0

    So glad they’re moving forward on the non destructive front! Non destructive editing such a useful feature. I will always prefer to be able to non-destructively edit things I’m working on to easily be able to change things if necessary or to be able to see how I did something in the future!

    Serious question: I’ve been using Krita to mess around with the tablet, but are there any good reasons to learn GIMP coming from a photoshop background all these years, given that I also know Krita somewhat?

      My 2c from having used Gimp for years and Krita for about 3 years: Krita is better for painting, Gimp is better for image manipulation

    This is controversial but will I be able to map right click to erase or another tool/brush preset/color? It just feels wrong to keep switchimg with N and Shift+E while making pixel art.

    I remember looking into the situation with non-destructive editing about… 20 years ago. I wonder how long it’s been a desired feature!

    Reading the blog however it feels they are going to miss the deadline of May 2024.

    Edit: Sorry I miss remembered it as March 2024. Still I am sceptical.

          1. Gnome is a DE, GTK is a GUI toolkit
          2. I would NOT say it has been on decline. It’s pretty good for its target. There also hasn’t been any regressions I can see except for the obvious Nautilus. (I use MATE, but mostly because of its looks)

              1. Not anymore
              2. GIMP ≠ GNOME by a fucking mile
              3. GTK isn’t from GNOME either

                What do you mean “not anymore”? You can’t rewrite history… The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

                I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

                  Ah, well you probably should’ve replied to the root then.

                  By not anymore, I precisely mean that it’s not “GIMP ToolKit” anymore, it’s just GTK with no meaning at all.
