Ubuntu 18.04 ships with a much older version of GIMP in its archive (GIMP 2.8.22) so to benefit from all the changes and improvements in the 2.10.x series you’ll need to do look elsewhere.
You can find a full change-log for this release attached to the GIMP mailing list announcement. Better support for PSD files saved using “Maximize Compatibility” option.Dashboard widget can now show detailed memory usage.Apply multiple transformations simultaneously in the transform filter.The improvements referenced above aren’t the only changes in GIMP 2.10.4: To rectify and auto-rotate your misaligned images just select the Measure tool from the tool picker, measure the angle of the horizon on your image, and then click the new “Straighten” button to have GIMP adjust your image accordingly. If so GIMP’s new auto-straighten option is at hand to help. Have you ever taken a really nice photo of a landscape, sunset or event only to later notice that you took it at an angle? Font TaggingĪnother font-related change in this release is the ability to tag fonts in the same manner as gradients, brushes and patterns.Īs mentioned, I have a tonne of fonts on my system (I make a lot of banners and graphics for this site, and don’t like things to look “samey”) and font tagging allow me to label them based on style or tone, e.g., “comic book”, “thin”, “official company fonts”, for faster finding later.
This caveat is temporary and GIMP will let you know when it’s finished loading your fonts. The relative downside to asynchronous font loading (as you’ll see in the video above) is that not all of your fonts might will be available right away should you try to use the text tool the moment the app appears.
