Gimp 2.10.4 comes with some cool news

GIMP is a tremendously popular image editing program, its development team does not stop working, and it has already announced the new version GIMP 2.10.4 that comes with many improvements and new features.

GIMP 2.10.4 continues to evolve to be better every day

GIMP 2.10.4 adds asynchronous font loading, which has a huge impact on GIMP startup time, especially if you have a large number of files inside the font folder. GIMP no longer has to wait for all its sources to fully load before being able to load the rest. This translates to faster startup times and a faster workflow, as you can start editing images right away using non-text tools and effects . The relative disadvantage is that not all fonts will be available immediately. Another change related to fonts in this release is the ability to label fonts in the same way as gradients, brushes, and patterns.

Auto straighten is another new feature coming to GIMP 2.10.4, the new auto straighten option is at your fingertips to help you automatically rectify and rotate your misaligned images, just select the Measure tool from the tool selector, measure the angle of the horizon in the image, and click the new Straighten button.

Other additional enhancements include the ability to apply multiple transformations simultaneously in the transform filter, the dashboard widget can now display detailed memory usage, better support for saved PSD files with the Maximize Compatibility option, selective hue-saturation and a new tool options manager.

All of these improvements will help make GIMP an even better tool.
