Luca Bacci once again devised a fix for both 2.10.38 and the upcoming 3.0 release candidate. Another crash that some users encountered when making very small selections was also fixed, explained the devs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>In addition, GIMP 2.10.38 improves support for tablets on Windows systems by incorporating the use of newer Windows Ink drivers rather than the WinTab drivers. Now users can switch between WinTab and Windows Ink drivers, if supported by their computer, under the Input Device settings in the Preferences dialog.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>You can refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gimp.org\/news\/2024\/05\/05\/gimp-2-10-38-released\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">release notes<\/a> on the official website for more in-depth details about the new features and alterations in GIMP 2.10.38, which is now ready for installation as a Flatpak app on virtually any GNU\/Linux distribution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Last updated 8 seconds ago<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GIMP development team announced today the release and general availability of GIMP 2.10.38 as the latest stable version of this popular open-source, free, and cross-platform image editing software.
