GIMP Dev Release Adds New Painting Mode & Text Outline Settings - OMG! Ubuntu
GIMP 3.2 is the next major release of this open source image editor, and is currently in development. An early build, version 3.1.2, is available for testing and already includes several new features that fans of the software are sure to find useful.
Chief among them is a brand new paint mode called Overwrite, specifically focused on use with the Pencil tool (but not exclusively – results may vary when used with other tools).
Overwrite mode, the GIMP team explains, will “directly replace the pixels over the area you paint, without blending the transparency values of the brush and the existing pixels in that area”. This should make it particularly useful for those working on pixel art.
GIMP 3.2 includes new text outline settings to make text outlines “grow inward, outward, or in both directions”. Photoshop converts will be more familiar with those options inside, outside or centre, respectively.
