    I’m super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I’m sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise “scrolling” to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I’m not here for it.

      Depends on the context. We’re talking about an image editor, so showing a demo of the features in video form is helpful.

      +1 for the GIMP3 excitement, and ×1,000,000 for the YouTube gripe.

      For all the shortcomings of AI, and specially of Google’s Gemini model, its YouTube integration is really good for this, even more so on Android where you can set it as your default assistant and ask a question about the video you’re currently watching without having to switch apps.

      Asking for a bullet point list, it gave me this:

      • Nondestructive editing
      • Dynamic guides or smart guides
      • CMYK support
      • Outline text
      • Multi-layer features and layer sets

          Nope, layer effects were destructive, couldn’t go back and tweak a effect, had to make a copy of the layer every time before the change and apply it again.
