Install Gimp 2.8 Beta on Your Precise Pangolin or Oneiric Ocelot

Good news open-sorcerers!  Our favorite image manipulation program, GIMP had release 2.8 beta! If you are still using the version bundled with your Precise or Oneiric, which is the 2.6 version, or you've upgraded to the later 2.7 version, now it's time to move on... And it's still beta though...

As with GIMP 2.7, this latest release candidate came with Single Windows Mode (phewww), and... the experimental GEGL tool is available for those who are too impatient to wait for a stable version



So yeah, it's worth a try... for those who don't care whether it is alpha, beta or stable...

For Precise Pangolin:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install gimp

For Oneiric Ocelot:

• sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• sudo apt-get install gimp

For re- synthetizer:

• sudo apt-get install gimp-resynthesizer

Have fun!
