GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

    Place your bets, are we getting GIMP 3 before 2025?

      If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.

        Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)
