1 ------------------------------ 2 GNU Image Manipulation Program 3 2.10 Stable Branch 4 ------------------------------ 5 6This is a stable release in the GIMP 2.10 series. 7 8GIMP 2.10 replaces earlier GIMP 2.x versions. It is advised that you 9uninstall them before installing GIMP 2.10. If you want to keep your 10older GIMP 2.x installation in parallel to GIMP 2.10, you have to 11choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search 12path. Otherwise your previous GIMP installation will start to use the 13new libraries. You have been warned. 14 15If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it 16hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is 17still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet. 18 19If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For 20detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. 21 22 231. Web Resources 24================ 25 26GIMP's home page is at: 27 28 https://www.gimp.org/ 29 30Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation, 31tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there. 32 33The automated plug-in registry is located at: 34 35 https://registry.gimp.org/ 36 37There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient 38forms-based interface. 39 40The latest version of GIMP can be found at: 41 42 https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ 43 44 452. Mailing Lists 46================ 47 48We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development 49discussion. There is more info at 50 51 https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html 52 53Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page. 54 55Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and 56tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer-list is oriented 57to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Gimp-gui-list is for discussing 58about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only 59want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop 60GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you 61want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to 62subscribe. 63 64 653. IRC 66====== 67 68And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to 69GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is 70#gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet 71servers are: 72 73 irc.gimp.org:6667 74 irc.us.gimp.org:6667 75 irc.eu.gimp.org:6667 76 77 784. Customizing 79============== 80 81The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app 82by editing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file or by using "themes" (ready-made 83customizations). For downloadable themes and further details, see 84http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 . Additionally, GIMP reads the file 85~/.config/GIMP/2.10/gtkrc so you can have settings that only apply to GIMP. 86 87Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. 88You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file 89to ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc. You can also manually change the keybindings 90to any of your choice by editing ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/menurc. 91 92 93Have fun, 94 95 Spencer Kimball 96 Peter Mattis 97 Federico Mena 98 Manish Singh 99 Sven Neumann 100 Michael Natterer 101 Dave Neary 102 Martin Nordholts 103 Jehan 104
