Gimp 2.9 For Mac

Newly released GIMP 2.9.8 introduces on-canvas gradient editing and variousenhancements while focusing on bugfixing and stability. For a complete list ofchanges please see NEWS.

On-Canvas Gradient Editing¶

One of the most user-visible changes in 2.9.8 is the updated Blend tool.Here’s what’s new about it.

First of all, it pretty much eliminates the need for the old Gradient Editordialog, as all of the dialog’s features are now available directly on thecanvas. You can create and delete color stops, select and shift them, assigncolors to color stops, change blending and coloring for segments between colorstops, create new color stops from midpoints.

If you UV map in O bject mode it will show all the UVs on top of each other yea. I'd switch to Face mode and select-by-material each section then RMB UVmapping from thereThat way it will only show your wall UVs, floor UVs etc. Uv mapping software mac. Whatever you've selected.The only issue you'll run into with a multi-material model like that, is that even if you only select faces with 'wall material' (for example) and go into AUV, it won't automatically show the 'wall texture' (that you have asigned to 'Wall material') as it would with a single material mesh. But rather will show the default AUV colorful letters/grid pattern, so you'll have to drag-drop your wall texture from the Outliner on the AUV window if you need to line things up against the texture.

Since this feature is useful for more than just gradients, it was made genericenough to be used for brushes and other types of resources in the future.We expect to revisit this in the future releases of GIMP.

Now that 2.9.8 is out with the updated Blend tool, we are interested in yourfeedback, as we still expect some cleanup and enhancements to be done there.

Most of the programming was done by Ell, however we also want to acknowledgetwo other people who contributed to that effort one way or another.

Michael Henning improved the Blend tool for 2.9.2, making the position of itsendpoints editable before applying the gradient fill.

Michael Natterer refactored source code of GIMP’s tools to make them reuse oneanother’s on-canvas handles. That greatly simplified adding on-canvas handlesfor color stops. He also added the generic on-canvas dialog with the mostimportant options for tools.

Clip Warning¶

Ell also implemented a feature request made in our public mailing list,where Elle Stone asked for some way to visualize underexposed and overexposedareas of a photo, which is a common feature in digital photography tools such asdarktable and RawTherapee.

The new Clip Warning display filter targets that use case and fillsunderexposed and overexposed areas with user-configurable colors. For now,it’s mostly geared towards images where colors are stored with floating pointprecision. You will mostly benefit from this, if you work on 16/32 bit perchannel float images such as EXR and TIFF.

GIMP for Unix-like systemsThe flatpak link above should open your software installer and prompt you to install GIMP (available platforms: i386, x86-64, ARM and AArch64). It may not work out-of-the-box on some platforms since the flatpak technology is new. If that is the case, and if clicking the link still does not prompt to install GIMP, then manually install by command line:flatpak install flatpak build is very new and therefore may have shortcomings. It's very likely your Unix-like system distribution already comes with a GIMP package.
