I got super tired of the weird issues with GIMP, so I made an apple dev account and ported it over to apple silicon. Pressing the tab key will toggle them hidden.Hey everyone. The interface is modulized into so called docks, allowing you to stack them into tabs or keep them open in their own window.

The architecture allows to extend GIMP's format capabilities with a plug-in. Speed up your workflow.The file format support ranges from the common likes of JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, TIFF to special use formats such as the multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files. Change the size, angle or opacity of a brush while you paint, bind your favorite scripts to buttons. You can bind often-used actions to device events such as rotating a USB wheel or moving a MIDI controller's slider.

GIMP will do its best to detect which size to use, but you can manually override that selection in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Icon Themes.GEGL port, high bit depth support, multi-threading, and moreThe ultimate goal for v2.10 was completing the port to GEGL image processing library, started with v2.6 when we introduced optional use of GEGL for color tools and an experimental GEGL tool, and continued with v2.8 where we added GEGL-based projection of layers.Now GIMP uses GEGL for all tile management and builds an acyclic graph for every project. Icons are now separate from themes, and we maintain both color and symbolic icons, so you can configure GIMP to have System theme with color icons if you prefer the old look.Moreover, icons are available in four sizes now, so that GIMP would look better on HiDPI displays. This is meant to somewhat dim the environment and shift the focus towards content.There are now 4 user interface themes available in GIMP: Dark (default), Gray, Light, and System. However the new version ships with far more new features, including new and improved tools, better file formats support, various usability improvements, revamped color management support, a plethora of improvements targeted at digital painters and photographers, metadata editing, and much, much more.Updated user interface and initial HiDPI supportOne thing immediately noticeable about GIMP 2.10 is the new dark theme and symbolic icons enabled by default.

GPU-side processing is still optional, but available for systems with stable OpenCL drivers. A point of interest is that multi-threading happens through GEGL processing, but also in core GIMP itself, for instance to separate painting from display code.
