GIMP is preparing to unleash a revolutionary new update—a high-performance, modern UI powerhouse designed to dismantle Adobe’s stranglehold on the industry.

To deliver the final blow to subscription-based creative tools, GIMP desperately needs testers right now.

Just open the software and do random stuff.

  • Open different files

  • Use the text tool

  • Put an image in black and white

  • Convert files from one format to the other

If you spot any bug, please report it here:

Stop funding the corporate machine. Take back your software, test the build, and help launch the new era of open-source creation

Change the name. 😄 Edit: Imp is right there. If you miss 3 syllables of GNU Imp, try Photobash. Make it obvious.

App is great, name is terrible but the devs like it and don't want to entertain the idea of renaming.

Perhaps if people keep suggesting a rename, it'll happen eventually. It is a shame that it has the name it has.

Yeah, how do they expect people to talk about it in professional contexts?
