GIMP 3.0.0 Is Here!

[Lester Thorpe]

Outwardly, the only difference is that the UI is now based in
GTK3 and hence it is themeable. Who has the fucking time to
fiddle with themes?

But virtually all criticisms of the GIMP are directed to the
UI as if the UI is somehow highly significant.

A true image pro wouldn't even notice the UI but the hordes
of dilettantes certainly do.

I'm a farmer, and I've been mistakenly using GIMP for years to prepare
planning maps that show what I want to plant where on my diversified
farm. They use a satellite photo as a base, with color-coded fields
drawn on it as overlaying layers, labeled with the size in acres.

You would probably be better served with GIS (Geographic Information System)
software such as GRASS GIS for Linux:

GIMP is for basic image manipulation on plain old raster image formats.
Attempting to shoehorn such a program into GIS analysis is just asking
for problems.

I wasn't aware that one had to be a "true image pro" to use GIMP. Good
to know.
Guess that means I'll have to stop. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a
"true image pro."

Based on your logical abilities it can be ascertained that you are not
a "pro" in anything.

The above statement merely indicates that an "image pro" would not
notice or be overly concerned about the GIMP UI. It in no way even
suggests that one must a "pro" in order to use GIMP.

However, as with all capable software, the GIMP is better wielded
by image pros. Witness the billions of junk spreadsheets that are
created by the hordes of untrained Calc/Excel users. It is the same
with the GIMP.

Now get back into your harness and plow those fields. Maybe one day
your master will be able to afford a tractor.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

How mature of you.

Oh, you're just saying that because it's true.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
