Wondering, why there is still no GaaS (GIMP as a Sevice) Scheme/REST/Cloud-Functional offer.

#23Nothing against the GIMP here, but I gave up on the Gimp about 10 years ago now waiting for it to support color depths greater than 8. Gimp was a great program back in 1998-ish. But the lack of deep color depth support really hampered it.

Perhaps 10 years too late for you, but high bit depth is finally here in 2.10.

For me and everyone else it seems given the popularity of photoshop.

#26This is update is incredible, it looks like a massive jump into modern relevancy. Excited to try it this weekend.
One thing I might have to raise in the GIMP community is what's the deal with sliders on brush-like tools? Very cumbersome to use by default, and I don't know if there's any way to change their behavior. Anyone have thoughts here?

I'd also like to try it out. The download page says: > There is no macOS package yet, sorry. Please check back later. I tried the homebrew method but it installed v2.8 :(
I just tried `brew` and yes, still 2.8
AFAIK homebrew-cask doesn't compile anything, it just downloads the dmg and copies the app for you so that you don't have to mount the dmg and drag the app bundle to your applications folder yourself.
They'll probably update their repository as soon as the GIMP devs release a 2.10 dmg (at which point you might as well download it yourself).

#28Had a really interesting "conversation" with /u/prokoudine a while ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16686941 ). His favorite reply to my criticism to GIMP's usability was "get a grip on yourself". Love GIMP's devs entitlement to think GIMP's users are worthless pieces of crap.
I've said this before (kinda) and I'll say it again: if you're not happy with a feature in an open source piece of software then get involved with the development process: https://www.gimp.org/develop/ . If you don't know how and/or are not interested in learning then use another piece of software.
> if you're not happy with a feature in an open source piece of software then get involved with the development process
This is a red herring. There's no requirement to participate in a group in order to give criticism of it. People often lack the time, skills, or political will power to change the direction of a open source software project.

And yet they still want to criticize people who provide free software.

Yes, unfortunately I have no idea about GTK and similar. It seems unlikely that I would be able to learn, too.
In that case please try to be polite at least. Your answers (in the linked conversation) really don't feel ok. Why not, maybe, think again and, maybe, apologize?
I don't think I was impolite, was I impolite?
