GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a
|
|
freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching,
|
|
image composition and image authoring.
|
|
</_p>
|
|
<_p>
|
|
It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint
|
|
program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online
|
|
batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an
|
|
image format converter, etc.
|
|
</_p>
|
|
<_p>
|
|
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be
|
|
augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about
|
|
anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything
|
|
from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation
|
|
procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is available for Linux,
|
|
Microsoft Windows and OS X.

This second release in the GIMP 2.10 series, so soon after
|
|
2.10.0, is mostly the usual bug-fixing version after a major
|
|
release, with a few dozen bugs fixed.
|
|
</_p>
|
|

|
|
It also features a new plug-in for the support of the HEIF
|
|
format, both for importing and exporting, as well as 2 new
|
|
filters: "Spherize" and "Recursive Transform". These are
|

nice examples of our relaxed feature policy in stable micro

releases.
