One of the Best Free Photo Editors Just Got a Massive Upgrade
1 min read
Summary
Open source photo editing software GIMP has finally updated to version 3.
0 after nearly 10 years in development, and is now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
GIMP 3.0 includes several new features such as improved colour management, a new user interface and logo, more text styling options and exporting files to more applications.
Perhaps most significantly, the update moves GIMP from the outdated GTK2 toolkit to the relatively modern GTK3 platform, bringing it more in line with modern photo editing tools.
GIMP is widely regarded as one of the best free photo editors, but has lagged behind paid competitors in updating its functionality.
The new release offers the potential for GIMP to close this gap and provide a more user-friendly experience.
