Now, you might think, what purpose would a gimp suit serve? The earliest use of the gimp suit in BDSM popped up in erotic BDSM literature from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. These texts’ original “gimp suits” were less a full-body shame-cover. Instead, they were more like a complicated full-body restraint. They played on limiting the submissive person’s ability to move. GIMP supports importing and exporting with a large number of different file formats. [91] GIMP's native format XCF is designed to store all information GIMP can contain about an image; XCF is named after the e Xperimental Computing Facility where GIMP was authored. Import and export capability can be extended to additional file formats by means of plug-ins. XCF file size is extended to more than 4GB since 2.9.6 and new stable tree 2.10.x. [ citation needed] The current version of GIMP works with numerous operating systems, including Linux, macOS and Windows. Many Linux distributions, such as Fedora Linux [56] and Debian. [57] [58], include GIMP as a part of their desktop operating systems. Milestones · GNOME / GIMP · GitLab". GitLab. Archived from the original on 4 March 2023 . Retrieved 4 March 2023.

The Generic Graphics Library ( GEGL) was first introduced as part of GIMP on the 2.6 release of GIMP. This initial introduction does not yet exploit all of the capabilities of GEGL; as of the 2.6 release, GIMP can use GEGL to perform high bit-depth color operations; because of this, less information is lost when performing color operations. [87] When GEGL is fully integrated, GIMP will have a higher color bit depth and better non-destructive work-flow. GIMP 2.8.xx supports only 8-bit color, which is much lower than digital cameras, e.g., produce (12-bit or higher). Full support for high bit depth is included with GIMP 2.10. OpenCL enables hardware acceleration for some operations. [88] CTX [ edit ]
