A new unstable snapshot of Image Editing programme ‘The Gimp’ has been released.

Version 2.7.3 of the popular app finally sees a working – although not entirely finished – implementation of the much-lauded ‘Single Window Mode‘. Testers should note that Single Window mode is not default and needs to be enabled through the Windows > Single Window Mode menu.

Other notable features and improvements present in this release include: –

Support for Layer Groups

Session management

Improvements to ‘on canvas’ text editing

Addition of a ‘ Lock Content’ button to Layers, Channels and Path dialogs.
