As a side project, to relax from maintenance and preparation of @GIMP 3.2, I have been looking into our experimental "Paint Select" tool. The tool is still hidden under a Playground settings, mostly for performance reason. I am in early review and experimentation on it, but it feels like we can really improve things, both algorithmically and UX/UI wise. Here is me making a quick selection of Mia, official mianager of the LILA non-profit film production:
🥳 Happy ㉊th birthday, @GIMP ! 🎂 In 1995, November 11, a young US student, Peter Mattis, announces a program on some Linux newsgroups, called "The GIMP: the General Image Manipulation Program". 2 years later, Spencer Kimball (other co-author) and Peter graduate and leave. Thanks to the #GPL license, the community take over development. 30 years later… The project is thriving, with contributors from all over the world, and maintainers from Germany, Norway, France, Korea, Netherlands… 🤗 image
