What’s New in GIMP 2.99.10 Development Release Version

In this video, I cover all the new features released with the GIMP 2.99.10 development release version. With this release, GIMP introduced a brand-new “Splash Screen” with helpful links to GIMP documentation, donation pages, development, and more. GIMP also introduced “Layer Sets” for grouping layers together based on user-set properties, which allows for quickly finding and editing these layers together.

This development release also rolled out new icons for the various layer locking features in GIMP. These icons are part of the new UI that the development team has been working on to allow this feature to work with the multi-layer selection feature.

The Tool Options for Brush Dynamics have been improved, making it much easier to turn off brush dynamics.

The HIGHLY ANTICIPATED Shape Builder Tool has FINALLY arrived to Inkscape! Inkscape 1.3 was released yesterday, and with it came the Shape Builder tool. This tool, which was made popular by Adobe Illustrator, allows you to easily combine multiple shapes to create new shapes.

The possibilities with this tool are endless as the Shape Builder tool less you create complex designs by building upon simple shapes. It makes it a million times easier to create digital art for your graphic design projects, and allows you to be more creative.
