Flatpak (Linux)

In order to install the newest version of PhotoGIMP on your Linux operating system using Flatpak, just follow this simple steps:

  • Make sure you already have GIMP installed from Flathub; (for Ubuntu/Mint user just select Flatpak below the install button in the manager)

  • Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!

  • Download the files from this repository or just click here - > https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases/download/3.0/PhotoGIMP-linux.zip

  • Extract the content of the zip file on your home folder (.config and .local - they are the important ones) and overwrite the files if needed; (if you can't see the file click Ctrl+H to see hidden files)

-You're done, enjoy it! 😄

Thank you. Works well. I'm much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it's helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.

I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I've tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here's how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

To save anyone from having to watch a video:

Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Input Controllers > Main Mouse Wheel

In this menu, double-click "Scroll Up", and select view-zoom-in-accel. Then do the same to "Scroll Down" with the value view-zoom-out-accel.

btw the comand x me was just :

view-zoom-in

view-zoom-out

Hey OP, please remove the photogimp[.]com from your post body, as it's not an official webpage of the project and could lead to something like clueless people installing viruses off of it. Thanks in advance.

(Also, for those who are Brazillian, or just speak Portuguese for one reason or another, I highly recommend the YouTube channel belonging to the people behind this patch –Diolinux (YT) (website))

Much, if not all of this, you can set up yourself, without a lot of installing things...

But people really would be better of, getting used to GIMP as it is, because it will cause problems later on, on updates and if the project discontinues and so forth.

Now we need NotepadKwrite.

Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.

I'd argue that they're even better than Notepad++. There's certainly no shortage of good text editors on Linux...

if this improves how gimp handles fonts I'd use it.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 7 points 8 months ago

I do not think it impacts that. Have you used GIMP3? Way better text handling.

[-] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 10 points 8 months ago

it's not though. I just tried it and you can't highlight text and then scroll through fonts. you still need to know specifically what font you want or know all the fonts installed on your system. Unlike photoshop where you can highlight text and then scroll through the fonts you have installed which will change the highlighted text to whatever font on the fly. Gimp still to this day doesn't do that.

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago

Not in the popup dialog, but in the text tool properties (on the left under the tools after you select the tool). You can scroll through the fonts there and your selected font will apply to the currently selected text.

My biggest pet peeve is having to scroll past 5000 versions of Noto font.

[-] rozlav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

is this maintained enough ? 9 month since last commit. also I would love to see illustrator/inkscape ui same project ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Any chance this could install through the Linux Mint Software Manager, for auto updates?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
