After the first round of community feedback, we’re happy to share the second release candidate for GIMP 3.0! People gave us really helpful feedback from the first release candidate and we were able to fix a lot of bugs.

    A few years ago there was some news about a fork called glimpse, but nobody cared so it died quickly.

      It was more than just a name and brand change, such as a workflow and look similar to Photoshop. And they had plans to introduce new functionality.

        Maybe they should have put that more into the focus, but everything that I had read about it back then was always only about the name change.

          They should have focused on the name change, to prove that there is a demand for “GIMP but with another name”. Everything else can be done in the main project or any fork, and that those don’t exist show that the manpower needed for that isn’t really available.
