    This could be either Jesus or John, but probably Jesus.

    This figure was floating in the left-hand side of a full-page border used in Darboy’s 1855 edition of the Imitation of Christ; there are full-page borders on every page, but they repeat.

    This line-drawing of an owl looks startlingly modern, with eyes wide as if in surprise, body twisted, wings spread for takeoff. It was in the bottom-left corner of a full-page border from Darboy’s 1855 edition of the Imitation of Christ.

    A full-page border, or page surround, featuring Christian religious figures, birds, and a crocodile or dragon (which is intended? i am uncertain). It’s from an 1855 edition of Imitation of Christ.

    This 1590s cradle is still kept at his mother’s house, Stirling Castle (in case he returns as a zombie prince?)

    This is the same King James who ordered the Authorized Version of the Bible, known popularly as the King James Bible, to be made.

    A scene from the Pied Piper by Julius Wolff.

    I love the dark alleyway on our right, with the façades of houses dimly visible in the shadows. Great work for an engraving!

    Art by Paul Thumann (1834 – 1908).

    A large book, maybe 14 or 16 inches high, with a bright cover. The book is a retelling of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, or a novel based on it, i’m not sure.

    Usually i don’t post the covers here, but this one is quite fun.

    Libre Graphics Meeting is coming soon, in Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany. Born out of GIMP Con years ago, with the idea of getting developers & users of free creative software together.

    The GIMP team will be there and active.

    Bugfix release!. Drop shadows, vector layers, image import, more..., + some UX enhancements and a new mirror in Japan.

    Over two million downloads of GIMP 3.2 so many new issues are reported for the first time. Thank you all who worked on GIMP & thank you all who reported problems on gitlab and provided much-needed feedback, & most of all thank you to our many users!

    A somewhat fanciful illustration of the founding of Paris; probably it is depicting the Roman conquest of the encampment of the Celtic Parisii tribe.

    I’m not 100% happy with the way the Web resolutions came out, but the print resolution will reproduce well.

    Another of these weird illustrations. @bosak was right, i am now sure - it’s satire, poking fun at the “Spiritists”. I transcribed some of the article (with English via Google Translate).

    This decorative initial was used as a drop cap (dropped capital) for the word Christmas starting an 1870 article entitled “Christmas with the Poets”.

    Drop caps bring attention to the start of a new section or chapter, and help people find their way by flipping through the pages of a printed book.

  28. @GIMP @itsfoss : I had no difficulty in building #GIMP 3.2.0 for my Linux distro. Additionally, in theory, my distro can [and will] include both GIMP 2.10 and GIMP 3.2 or above.

    @gmic : You're free to say whee for G'MIC three seven three in GIMP three. Illustration: This is #GMIC 3.7.3 and #GIMP3 3.2.0 running in Laclin [the 17th wonder of the world into which all that is fast and light is unfurled.] I did need to patch G'MIC, in my distro, to fix a FTBFS related to "gimptool" release detection.

    @GIMP : However, one issue that upstream isn't responsible for is unavoidable: The fact that most SCM scripts aren't expected to work in GIMP 3 for some time.

    FX-Foundry seems to be one example. In fact, FX-Foundry has been partly ported to GIMP 2.8 but I gather that it hasn't made it to 2.10 yet. I see that one reviewer is holding off on an update to GIMP 3 specifically for this reason.

    If it will help, I can get FX-Foundry, or most of it, to GIMP 2.10. I should have a draft set ready this Spring. The draft set will support, I think, about 85% of the scripts.

    If there is an automated tool under development that will take scripts from GIMP 2.10 to 3.2 or above, this would be one way to get FX-Foundry into the new series.

    FWIW: My new script set, to be named OC-Foundry, will include updated copies of other sets such as the GimpHelp set [as the latter website seems to have shut down].

    To reduce confusion due to overlap with work by other developers -- and to ensure that authors receive credit -- most menu lines in OC-Foundry will indicate the original associated websites and/or authors.

    @brunus : BTW yes. G'MIC s'exécute dans GIMP, comme le montre la capture d'écran ci-jointe.

    I'd like to close with a GIMP build tip:

    I presently recommend that distro developers build "libmypaint" 1.6.1 exactly, then "mypaint-brushes" 1.3.0 exactly, and finally "my-paint-brushes" git-current. git commit 08da4a48a should work for the latter package. The three "*mypaint*" packages should be configured and installed using the same prefix.

    The preceding steps should permit developers to build and run both GIMP 2.10.38 and 3.2.0 on the same box. Note: The two GIMP packages need to be configured and installed using *different* prefixes.
  29. 🎨 Ah, GIMP 3.2, the latest triumph of #open-source slowness, where volunteers bravely spent a year lovingly crafting a splash screen! 🤦‍♂️ Prepare to bask in the marginally improved glory of features that might catch up with 2005 any day now. 🚀

    Today we released a third release candidate for GIMP 3.2; we are moving towards a final GIMP 3.2 release, so if you find any problems, please report them! There’s a link to Gimp Bugs near the bottom of www.gimp.org.

    NOTE this is not yet the final stable 3.2 for production use, it’s for testing & early adopters.

    Three of about 12 images from an 1865 article about spiritists, people using mediums to communicate with the dead. Hugely popular in 1860s.

    The article purports to be a translate of an English factual account, hah!.

  37. For GIMP developers out there:

    I’ve put together what I hope is the definitive reference for every enum available in GIMP 3.0. I compiled this because I need it, and I hope it's helpful to anyone else.

    Each enum includes:

    - the Python form you use in your plug-ins (e.g. Gimp.LayerMode.NORMAL)

    - the uppercase PDB identifier

    - the raw integer value

    - the GEGL nickname

    - a plain-English description

    Comments/suggestions welcome.

    GIMP has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.

    We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the code they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.

    Feel free to get in touch - see gimp.org/discuss.html

    A detail from a Spanish painting variously entitled Christmas Mass or Boys’ Choir.

    What is the nearest boy holding? The leftmost one has the censer to spread incense, so presumably a Roman Catholic church.

    The original 1890s oil painting sold in 2006 for $56K or so.

    Scanning at high resolution makes it possible to share small details like this :-) (full picture is 47kx27k px)

  41. Update - revision 1 of GIMP 3.0.8 (dated 2026-01-28 or later)

    GIMP 3.0.8 can crash on some older processors, usually on startup.

    The problem was discovered, and should now be fixed by installing Revision 1 of GIMP 3.0.8.

    GIMP 3.0.8 released today.

    A new version of the manual, including more translation work; fixes to bugs people have been kind enough to report.

    Startup performance improved on many systems; colour profiles on Windows; SVG path import;
    some minor UI improvements; security fixes; see link for more.

    This might be the final 3.0 release before 3.2.
