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.

    Isn’t this the version where they pinky promised there will be CMYK support?

        That’s the one! Didn’t bother finding the source myself, thanks for going the extra bit kind stranger!

        Looking forward to eventually burying the old “sticking with Adobe because GIMP doesn’t support CMYK” argument.
