This must be how they plan to sell America on crypto.

Find a better server.

It’s just research!

Trump can go fuck Putin, then himself.

DIDN’T HURT A BIT!

Inkscape has a few text deformation tools Gimp lacks. Importing svgs produced from Inkscape would be a big win. People will use that.

An alpha mask on an adjustment layer allows for all sorts of useful adjustment blends using paint brushes or black and white gradients. I’m sure you’ve seen how Ps handles adjustment layers. Krita is similar. This is just a common interface element now. It works well. Shrug.

Good luck. Thank you for Gimp 3. It is a real improvement over prior major releases.

I realize Gimp is a free project and has limited resources. I’m thankful there are people (like you) who maintain and improve it. Because I run Linux, Gimp and Krita have been my only available go-to tools. But it is painful. I really hope you guys rework the alpha mask code so each adjustment filter gets its own mask. Maybe in 3.4 or whatever.

Layer styles for text are a big deal. Being able to reorder adjustments in the stack is a big deal. Vector layers are a big deal. Real improvement has happened. But I do actually use adjustment masks. A lot of people do.

Thank you for these updates. Another thing I’d really like to see is better integration with Inkscape. It does text better than Gimp. Being able to craft text there and flawlessly import that into Gimp, with all its filters and effects, would really be nice. Inkscape is quite good.

Come on. Since 1997 and Ps 7, every adjustment had its own alpha mask to paint where and how much that adjustment would take place in the frame. Affinity does this. Hell, Krita has done this for nearly 20 years.

Gimp 3 is a genuine improvement. But what you propose is the kind of delusional thinking seen in ‘Gimp is better than Photoshop’ advocacy videos on YouTube. The kind of advocacy that has ruined GIMP’s reputation among people who actually use this software.

Your half baked solution does not do the job.

I’m less interested in games and more interested in creative apps. If Affinity on Linux is actually useful now, I’d make the transition. Gimp still lacks layer masks for adjustments. I want better tools.

I can understand the FTC being involved because trade. But the FCC? Maybe regulatory authority over WiFi? But this seems like massive over reach.

Remember when conservatives claimed to support smaller government?

I’m fine with this, as long as actors give consent and are paid for their likeness.

Reminds me of that movie, Crash:

Apple’s integrated CPU, GPU and high bandwidth RAM has won the price/performance war. Neither Intel nor AMD have yet to offer a comparable product line that meets Apple’s design. They value upgradability via low bandwidth DIMMS and continue to lose customers.

That’s correct. The cited source makes your point too. My error.

I hope Europe comes together to oppose Trump.

Atoms repel by electrostatic forces. Essentially, electro-magnetism. The strong nuclear force acts on subatomic particles at distances far shorter.

No, he didn’t. Nobody is talking about scaling airplanes down to atomic or up to galactic scales. There’s an actual answer to OP’s question, which an aeronautical engineer could factually provide. You gave a worthless, ‘I am very smart’ non-answer and now double down as if OP was asking about some platonic ideal rather than a genuine engineering question.

I’ve flown on the A380 several times and it is a very comfortable flight. Especially noise levels, which are much less than smaller passenger planes.
