60 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:27(para)
62 "A whole new default icon theme has been created for 2.4. The icons comply "
63 "with the Tango style guidelines so GIMP doesn't feel out of place on any of "
64 "the supported platforms. Regardless of whether you run GIMP under Microsoft "
65 "Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (GNOME, KDE or Xfce), GIMP provides a polished, "

105 "you can easily set the brush size with either the tool options dock slider "

116 "The selection tools have been rewritten from scratch to allow resizing of "
117 "existing selections. Additionally the rectangular selection tool includes a "
118 "setting for creating rounded corners as this has been identified as a very "

123 msgid "Selection tools in GIMP 2.4"
126 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:101(para)
128 "The learning curve for the tools has been flattened as the key functionality "
129 "is available without obscure shortcuts that confused GIMP beginners. Most of "
130 "the existing shortcuts still work, but the functionality is either available "
131 "through the tool options or made obsolete due to the interactive move and "
135 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:108(para)
137 "While the tools have been redesigned to make them easier to understand for "

148 "Selecting individual objects on images is easier now with a new <link "
149 "linkend=\"gimp-tool-foreground-select\"> foreground select tool </link>. It "
150 "is done in two steps. First, you make select region of interest which "
151 "contains the entire object. Then you paint over selected area with a brush, "
152 "not crossing object’s border. Release mouse button when you’re done and "
153 "look, if there are dark blue spots on your objects. If there are some, paint "
154 "with a brush over them again and release to refine selection. When there are "
155 "no more blue areas inside the object, press Enter and there you have a "
156 "perfectly selected object."

176 "Most notable is the new top-level Color menu that accumulates most tools, "
177 "plug-ins and scripts that adjust colors in RGB/Grayscale mode and color "
178 "palettes in Indexed mode. So now you can reach functions like Levels or "
179 "Curves much faster than before, unless you define your own keyboard "
180 "shortcuts for them using the improved keyboard shortcuts manager."
183 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:154(para)
185 "In the new version of GIMP, some menu entries have changed their names and "
186 "position. It was done mostly to simplify learning curve and improve user "
187 "experience. After all, \"HSV Noise\" and \"RGB Noise\" sound more meaningful "
188 "than \"Scatter HSV\" and \"Scatter RGB\", don't they? And status bar hints "
189 "for all plug-ins and scripts are quite helpful too."

226 "The fullscreen mode has been improved to not only allow getting a full scale "
227 "preview of the artwork, but also allow comfortable editing. The artist has "
228 "maximum screen estate available while all functionality is quickly "
229 "accessible by pressing the Tab key (toggles visibility of all docks) when "
230 "working fullscreen."
233 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:203(para)
235 "Whether painting or touching up photos, fullscreen editing keeps all the "

260 "Just like the selection tools, the new crop tool has been enhanced since the "
261 "last release. The resize handles actually resize the crop rectangle instead "
262 "of providing both resize and move functionality. The tool behaves more "
263 "naturally and consistently with other GIMP tools. For details see <xref "
264 "linkend=\"gimp-tool-crop\"/>."
267 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:240(para)
269 "To move, simply drag the rectangle clicking within the area. Resizing is "
270 "possible in one or two axes at the same time dragging the handle-bars on the "
271 "sides and corners. The outside area is darkened with a nice passepartout "
272 "effect to better get the idea of how the final crop will look like."

289 #: src/introduction/whats-new.xml:261(para)
291 "The healing brush is a new tool, similar in the working of the clone tool, "
292 "that permits to quickly fix small defects or imperfections due to scratching "
293 "or dust. In fact the tool is smart enough to being able to "
294 "<emphasis>understand</emphasis> where and how to modify an image to cure "
295 "these defects based on image color context."

304 "Here is another clone-like new tool that is able to adapt the destination "
305 "geometry, instead of color as does the healing brush, based on preselected "
306 "distortion settings. As the name suggests, perfect when copying images "
307 "blocks with some type of prospective changes."
