Written by Michael Larabel in Free Software on 23 June 2025 at 09:05 AM EDT. 15 Comments
GIMP 3.1.2 was just released as the first development version on the road toward GIMP 3.2 stable.

GIMP 3.2 is to be the next feature release following the long-in-development GIMP 3.0 release that happened back in March after being a decade in development in porting to GTK3 and many other improvements to this open-source image editing program that is one of the few viable alternatives to Adobe Photoshop.

GIMP 3.1.2 brings theme colors for Brush / Font / Palette, support to match the Windows and Linux OS theme system colors, a new "overwrite" paint mode, a new text outline option, non-destructive editing enhancements, CMYK improvements, and various file format handling improvements. Among the file format work is initial support for exporting to PSB Photoshop Large Format files. Complementing the existing JPEG 2000 import support is also GIMP support for exporting to JPEG 2000 image files.
