We haven't had any updates for a few months but the wait is hopefully worth it! We've got many nice new features, optimizations, and stability fixes in this release!

Version 2.10.10 highlights include:

• Line art detection in the Bucket Fill tool for comic artists
• Various usability improvements in transformation tools
• Sample Merged option added to the Heal tool and fixed in the Clone tool
• Parametric brushes now have 32-bit per channel precision
• Easier brush and pattern creation workflow
• On-canvas layer selection
• Faster saving/exporting and layer groups rendering
• Initial DDS support
• Many improvements in GEGL, the image processing engine

GIMP, the software that might have taken over the world if not for a fatal branding decision...

  it's open source. do it yourself, or pay somebody to do it. if you know others who need this feature, join up and share the costs.
  make a "gofundme" or something.

  I'm not complaining, it doesn't really interest me. I'm only mentioning that the brand name is not why it hasn't conquered the world.

    ..I'm only mentioning that the brand name is not why it hasn't conquered the world.

    Printing/Publishing world maybe, but when you don't require CMYK on a daily basis, there's a lot of us who use Gimp. My previous job involved prepping a lot of artwork for engraving machines, I ended using up Gimp for the job rather than Photoshop (and I've been using Photoshop in one form or another since 3.0, but refuse to buy into this fscking 'subscription' BS so CS5 is my last personally purchased version)

    As to the name, sorry, but when I started using it at work, the name Gimp raised more eyebrows with manglement rather than it's lack of CMYK.
