Fedora Core 3: GIMP 2.2.2 Critical Update for Image Editing Tool

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image

composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for

creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of

the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial

offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a

large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and

layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions,

all with multi-level undo.

The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included

scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site

has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which

includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of

the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are

documented in the package. Get

and

if you are so

inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system

before running the scripts.

This is a major version upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.2.x but it is designed

to be binary compatible in order that old plug-ins and scripts continue

to work.

Note that this new version will install a new .gimp-2.2 directory into

your home when running it for the first time. If you have customized

your settings you may have to re-do these changes in the

File/Preferences dialogue. If you have user-specific plug-ins or scripts

which are located beneath the old .gimp-2.0 directory you have to copy

them into the new directory to be able to use them.
