The new version of GIMP 2.10.12 is here and these are its news

gimp-1

The launch of the new version of the graphical editor GIMP 2.10.12 has just been presented, in which the refinement of the functionality and the improvement of the stability of the branch 2.10 is continued.

This new release of GIMP 2.10.12 comes with several bug fixes Furthermore, new improvements are presented for the editor where the improvements to the color editor, the arrival of new filters as well as new tools can be highlighted.

Also fixed anomalies in brushes, problems with color management and the appearance of artifacts in the symmetric staining mode.

Besides that New versions of the GEGL 0.4.16 and babl 0.1.66 libraries were prepared. The most notable is the change in the cubic discretization coefficient, which can be used for smoother interpolation.

GEGL also updated the memory management code, which provided support for conditional freeing of memory.

What's new in GIMP 2.10.12?

In GIMP 2.10.12 the color correction tool was significantly improved using curvesas well as other components where curve fitting is used to set parameters (for example, when defining coloration dynamics and configuring input devices).

When moving an existing waypoint, no longer immediately jumps to the cursor position the moment the button is pressedInstead, it moves relative to the current position when the cursor is moved while the mouse button is held down.

This behavior allows you to quickly select points by clicking without moving them and then adjusting the position. When the cursor touches a point or when a point is moved, the coordinate indicator now shows the position of the point, not the cursor.

Holding down the Ctrl key in the process of adding a new point joins the curve and maintains the original coordinates along the Y axis, which is useful when adding new points without changing the curve.

In the color curve change interface, "Input" and "Output" fields are added for manual input of numerical coordinates of points. Points on the curve can now have the type of smooth ("smooth", default as before) or angular (corner, allow you to form sharp corners on the curve).

Corner points are diamond shaped and smooth as round points.

Optimizations and new filter

In this new version of GIMP 2.10.12 a new Scroll filter has been added (Layer> Transform> Offset) to offset pixels, which can be used to create repeating patterns.

For TIFF images, added support for layers (When exporting, separate layers are now saved without combining them.)

For the Windows 10 version, support for installed fonts has been added by a user without privileges (without obtaining administrator rights).

Optimization was introduced, which allowed not to change the buffer rendering with each stroke, if the colors and pixel map are not changed.

In addition to speeding up some operations, the change also resolved issues with the dynamics of color gradients if the image has a color profile.

The tool Dodge / Burn has an incremental mode in which changes are applied progressively after the cursor is moved, similar to the incremental mode in the brush, pencil, and eraser drawing tools.

The tool Free Select implements the creation of a selection immediately after closing the area with the possibility of further adjusting the outline (previously, the selection was created only after a separate confirmation with the Enter key or by double-clicking).

The move tool comes with the ability to move two guides at once by dragging them over the intersection point. Shifting is useful when guides are not defining individual lines, but points (for example, to define a point of symmetry).
