Hello guys, has been around for a few days the new version of the familiar program design / photo editing Raster Graphics GIMP version 2.6 and going up to altitude.
(do not forget that many regard as the archenemy GIMP or alter ego of open Adobe Photoshop)
The enhancements are many, very many, with this post but I do not want riproporvi the usual news about what is new, what's new stuff and so on.
In this post I speak of my personal experience from the moment I opened GIMP 2.6 and the differences with later versions.
The first thing you notice is the menu of GIMP, finally removed the menu that was duplicated in the image window that is in the Toolbox, now there is a window opening central image in mind, from which you can perform all normal operations.
A function that have been trying and I was missing were the selection polygon, freehand selection tool in earlier versions not allowed to make selections on geometric shapes, for example, select a pyramid shape or another, you had to use before the tracks and then turn them into selections since nn straight selections was possible, but now you can select a mixture of both straight to Freehand and for me this is manna from heaven, because I have to lose No time to choose a number of tools to achieve the same result.
Another feature I was looking for was the alignment of objects.
often happened from having objects within images, and believe me it was frustrating to have to do before dimnsioni calculations on the image and then with magnetic guides and move the image grid.
Now select the part that interests me I click on the instrument Alliee and decide where to move the object, if the center of the height or width, and so on.
You can now choose the tool windows windows should be normal or only in the second case, such as utility windows do not go to occupy the taskbar and do not create a mess with the windows of applications simultaneously, so there is the ability to use the space for two windows of different applications.
The text tool also was amended, making it easier to resize the text.
One feature that I found interesting and also convenient is the ability to choose different options for the tools pencil / brush / airbrush how the size during the design, so for example if drawing with a peak of 19 pixels can end the line 3 pixel.
Another feature and this is the aspect is the support framework GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) a library that provides support for up to 32 bits per color channel against the 8 previous versions, so woe to those who now says that GIMP will never be like photoshop or better.
However, if you want to know more please refer to the Italian site GIMP, but if you want to try here is the link to package for Hardy GetDeb . These are
features that finally made me love this wonderful program.
Well what to say more?
I was dying to share with you my impressions of them, gave himself that as soon as I opened GIMP 2.6 and I tried it I was entranced by these new little things ...
Wishing you also leave some comments with your opinions.
Well next time.
