It's such a little thing that makes gimp annoying to use. And it affects a broad audience. Wedding cards or youtube title thumbnails.
Maybe it works now. I hope.
Non destructive layer resize works now, right?
- cmyk_student 5mo agoNon-destructive text outline has been around for a while now: https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/11/18/gimp-2-99-14-released/#text-tool-new-outline-options https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/11/18/gimp-2-99-14-released/#... Non-destructive resize works on vector layers and link layers (essentially "smart objects" in GIMP). We have the capability to do this for regular layers too - just need to connect some things and change some internal assumptions about transform filters.
- Mashimo 5mo agoHuh, 2.99 does that mean it was the beta for 3.0? Because I think i have been using stable gimp a few times over the last couple of years and not seen it.
- cmyk_student 5mo agoWhat version of GIMP are you running? Stable GIMP at this point (at least by our definition) is GIMP 3.2, which definitely has this feature. If you've been using 2.10 or earlier, then yeah, it wouldn't be in there.
- Mashimo 5mo agoYeah, but it being in 2.99 / 3.0 means it was only in stable gimp since 2025, so one year ago. That explains why I did not know about it. But nice to see that they finally added it.
