Link layers? Alright GIMP, you’ve finally convinced me. This is 99% of smart objects from Photoshop and I think it’s finally time for me to seriously learn this program. No more dual booting for Photoshop.
I love how much simpler it is in this release to make independent effects/adjustment layers. You just make a group layer and set the mode to ‘Pass through’. Then the adjustments/effects/filters you put on it are a) applied to all layers below it b) fully non-destructive and c) can have their own mask.
The number of adjustments you can make non-destructively - and have full control over - makes GIMP 3.2 the most powerful non-destructive editor that I know of.
I’m sure this would get more mainstream acceptance if they changed the name.
I like GIMP for what it is. Yet I feel like you’re right. A different name and a more serious logo would be good for a more professional (corporate, boring) audience. It’s duck s powerful tool, but it doesn’t sound nor look like it.
At least there’s Krita
