Flatpak (Linux)
In order to install the newest version of PhotoGIMP on your Linux operating system using Flatpak, just follow this simple steps:

-
Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!
-
Download the files from this repository or just click here - > https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases/download/3.0/PhotoGIMP-linux.zip
-
Extract the content of the zip file on your home folder (.config and .local - they are the important ones) and overwrite the files if needed; (if you can’t see the file click Ctrl+H to see hidden files)
-You’re done, enjoy it! 😄

shoutout to diolinux! dude is doing a lot of heavy lifting to help out new linux users over in brazil. and photogimp is quite useful everywhere.
Much, if not all of this, you can set up yourself, without a lot of installing things…
But people really would be better of, getting used to GIMP as it is, because it will cause problems later on, on updates and if the project discontinues and so forth.
Thank you. Works well. I’m much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it’s helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.
I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I’ve tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here’s how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:
Just did that, thanks👌.
btw the comand x me was just : view-zoom-in view-zoom-out
Hey OP, please remove the photogimp[.]com from your post body, as it’s not an official webpage of the project and could lead to something like clueless people installing viruses off of it. Thanks in advance.
(Also, for those who are Brazillian, or just speak Portuguese for one reason or another, I highly recommend the YouTube channel belonging to the people behind this patch –Diolinux (YT) (website))
👍
Now we need NotepadKwrite.
What about https://notepadqq.com/ ?
Seems decent. Presumably has the Windows shortcut scheme, seems theme-able, though that it has sessions and tabs makes it a bit too bloated to really be the same as Notepad.
It’s copying Notepad++.
I’m glad this exists. I use standard gimp, but I am not a Pro used to Photoshop.
Any chance this could install through the Linux Mint Software Manager, for auto updates?
flatpak update
Flatpak? Yikes.
i mean…
Fortunately there are secure ways to install gimp
Excuse me for being out of the loop, but is there a path towards AI photo manipulation coming for gimp? (Or already here?). Basically doing things like generative fill and other AI editing capabilities?
(I use affinity photo for my photo editing at the moment, so it’s been awhile since I’ve been paying attention to gimp.)
I’m not sure about Gimp but searching for Krita tutorials i’ve found something about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiKR_TrMioI&list=PLOea84sp_XoHZCSErUjCoqE0Gc6pjJksf
