I have compiled some of the best GIMP books you can consider if you want to be serious learning GIMP. Starting from the ones aimed at beginners to the ones with a more specific topic like digital art. There are many quality books covering GIMP. If you are new to GIMP and want to be a master in using it, there are countless helpful articles on the internet you can learn from for free, but sometimes (or often), books are still the best resource to learn something, including GIMP. It is capable of opening PSD files as well as edit them. Not only you can use GIMP to edit photos, but you can also create stuffs like mockups and even digital arts. GIMP is great because it has nearly all tools and capabilities that Photoshop has as well.
Gimp 2.8.22 features free#
Everyone who is looking for a free image editing tool will usually end up with GIMP. If I complain about problems, it's because they really happened.GIMP is often considered as the best free alternative to Photoshop. On the opposite, I really like this application that helps me daily. I don't want to criticize GIMP for pleasure. So there is probably a way to fix it with some parameters, but as a basic user, with huge time constraints, this is time I can't spend right now.Įxtraordinary evidence: I applied a 90° rotation, then 90° back on both images.

It's a functionnality that i basically use a lot, and i wasted too much time to rebalance the colors to original (10 minuts in fact, then i reinstalled 2.8.22). Apoligize, i just tried, it's not resizing that change the colors, it's rotating. i don't know why it was not the case last time, but Ctrl + V and Ctrl + Maj + V were both resulting in the error message "there is nothing to paste in your clipboad" or something like thatģ. Resizing changes color: " Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.". Aesthetics: you can use a different themeĢ.

Gimp 2.8.22 features software#
My antivirus (VIPRE) was automatically looking for installed software updates, and systematically installed the new version, without prompt or anything. My apologize, GIMP, i just found the solution and it was not your fault. If someone has a solution to prevent the auto update, I confess that it will definitely help me, because I do not know what to do anymore. The mountains and hills are made with an animated brush (create a new file, draw different but similarly styled objects on different layers, save as. Blocking access to /projects/gimp and in the host file, where the updates seem to come from. The map is made with Gimp, I never used paint since I was 10 years old probably (I used to prefer paper), so I don't know how much of this you'll be able to replicate. Search among programs that run at startup. Search in all subfolders stamped GIMP to look for an Updater.

obviously, there was nothing (Thanks GIMP)Ģ. which is quite boring in the end.Īt the moment, I have tried different solutions:ġ. So at every startup, i have to uninstall the current version of gimp, and reinstall the version 2.8.22.
Gimp 2.8.22 features update#
I've obviously reverted immediatly to version 2.8.22, which perfectly satisfies my needs, and that should be the end of my story, but. GIMP felt obliged to integrate an automatic update in its software. For example, I can no longer copy and paste an image from the clipboard into my layers, resizing an image changes its color, etc. However, I find this version awful, and not only from an aesthetic point of view (otherwise I would go with it), but also functional. I explain: I have been using the GIMP software to edit images of all kinds for a few years now, and for a few months, the official version 2.10 has been released. I guess I'm the only one in this situation. but 'im unable to find a solution to my problem. Being generally quite resourceful with a computer, I usually post only as a last resort.
