It’s hard to define design. We have a broad range of definitions to choose from: design refers not only to graphic design, but to design strategy, too. It is used in a variety of industries, such as engineering, architecture and Web design.

The famous GNU Image Manipulation Program has a shiny new version. This is a important release that comes with interface improvements, Brush Dynamics and initial integration of GEGL,the graph based image processing library that will eventually bring high bit-depth and non-destructive editing to GIMP.

Thanks to the GIMP team!
