Oh man I remember when they said it was a couple of months away like it was two years ago!

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

But seriously, I've been looking forward to this, lots of great changes!

Today is also the day that I learned that if you want to use drag to resize an image in GIMP instead of typing in the px size you just press ctrl T and then ctrl S and drag boxes will appear on your selected image layer

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

My bad, I meant to say shift T and then shift S.

Hmm, I’ll have to download the update tonight after work, I can’t wait to play around with this long awaited GIMP update!

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Nice! I've been looking forward to this.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I thought they released it months ago, like nearly a year ago.

I think they should make it so it's easy to import images from AI toolkits, or better, deeply integrate with InvokeAI/ComfyUI/Automatic1111

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 14 points 2 months ago

I mean, if you have gimp open, you can literally just drag the image into gimp. What would you want for it to be easier than that?

[+] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io -14 points 2 months ago

Yes. I want that to be much faster than that. Working with AI is usually an iterative process, which means a lot of importing-exporting back and forth. Drag and drop is just too slow and too cumbersome. Ideally there should be a mode where image is fully synchronized in real time between GIMP and AI toolkit.

You ai people are just insufferable

[-] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io -5 points 2 months ago

Is this "They took our jobs!" thing?

[-] KaRunChiy@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

Not even remotely, just a thing I noticed about people who use AI art. They don't like to put in effort, they want someone else to do the work for them, constantly. Your responses in this thread hint that you have no interest at all in actively working towards new solutions to your problems, you just whinge and then say "Well, what can I do? It's their problem!"

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Too lazy to learn painting? Nah, too lazy to save and open .png files.

[-] dnzm@feddit.nl 13 points 2 months ago

I don't think "they should", but if you're willing / able to at least make a decent description of what it would entail, how it would work, and how it would benefit users, and possibly contribute in some other way, it might happen!

(It'll take more than a sentence and a half from the sidelines, I think)

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

That sounds like it'd be better suited as a plugin tbh. All this AI stuff moves fast, GIMP moves slow
