2. What's new in GIMP 2.10? | |
Another benefit of using GEGL is being able to work on images in a linear RGB color space as opposed to gamma-corrected (perceptual) RGB color space.
Here is what it boils down to:
You now have both linear and perceptual versions of most blending modes.
There is now a linear version of the _Color Invert_ command.
You can freely switch between the two at any time via → submenu.
You can choose which mode is displayed in the Histogram docker.
You can apply Levels and Curves filters in either perceptual or linear mode.
When higher than 8-bit per channel precision is used, all channels data is linear.
You can choose whether the gradient tool should work in perceptual RGB, linear RGB, or CIE LAB color space.
