Umhla zingama-21 kuLwezi (November) umake iminyaka engama-25 selokhu kwamenyezelwa okokuqala umhleli wezithombe wamahhala I-GIMP. Le phrojekthi ikhule ngaphandle kokusebenza kwabafundi ababili baseBerkeley, uSpencer Kimball noPeter Mattis. Bobabili ababhali bebenentshisekelo kuhluzo lwekhompuyutha futhi bebenganelisekile ngezinga lezinhlelo zokusebenza zokuthwebula ku-UNIX.
Ekuqaleni, umtapo wezincwadi we-Motif wawusetshenziselwa ukusebenzelana kohlelo. Kodwa ngenkathi esebenza enguqulweni engu-0.60, uPeter wadinwa yilekhithi yamathuluzi waze wabhala eyakhe wayibiza nge-GTK (GIMP ToolKit). Kamuva, izindawo zabasebenzisi be-GNOME ne-Xfce, amafoloko ambalwa e-GNOME, kanye namakhulu, uma kungezona izinkulungwane zezinhlelo zokusebenza ngazinye, zabhalwa ngokusekelwe ku-GTK.
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-90s, iqembu lonjiniyela abavela ku-studio yaseHollywood i-Rhythm&Hues laba nentshisekelo kuphrojekthi futhi lalungiselela inguqulo ye-GIMP ngokusekelwa ukujula okukhuphukile kwesiteshi sombala ngasinye namathuluzi ayisisekelo okusebenza ngokugqwayiza. Njengoba ukwakhiwa kwephrojekthi etholakele akuzange kubanelise, banquma ukubhala injini entsha yokucubungula ihluzo kumagrafu e-acyclic futhi ekugcineni bakha isisekelo selabhulali ye-GEGL. Imfoloko ye-GIMP eyakhiwe ngaphambilini yaphila impilo yayo emfushane ngaphansi kwegama elithi FilmGIMP, kamuva yaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-Cinepaint futhi yasetshenziswa ekukhiqizweni kwamafilimu anesabelomali esikhulu angaphezu kweshumi nambili. Phakathi kwazo: "The Last Samurai", "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", "Harry Potter" uchungechunge, "Planet of the Apes", "Spider-Man".
Ngo-2005, unjiniyela omusha u-Evind Kolas wathatha ukuthuthukiswa kwe-GEGL, futhi ngemva konyaka iqembu laqala ukubhala kabusha i-GIMP kancane ukuze isebenzise i-GEGL. Le nqubo idonse cishe iminyaka engu-12, kodwa ekugcineni, ngo-2018, uhlelo lwashintshela enjinini entsha futhi lwathola ukwesekwa kokusebenza ngokunemba kuze kufike kumabhithi angu-32 ephoyinti elintantayo esiteshini ngasinye. Lesi esinye sezimo eziyinhloko zokuthi kungenzeka ukusebenzisa uhlelo endaweni yobuchwepheshe.
Phakathi kuka-2005 no-2012, ithimba lasebenzisana no-Peter Sikking, inhloko yenkampani yaseBerlin iMan+Machine Works, egxile kwi-UX/UI. Ithimba likaPeter lisize abathuthukisi be-GIMP ukuthi benze indawo entsha yephrojekthi, lenze imizuliswano emibili yezingxoxo nezithameli eziqondiwe, labhala imininingwane eminingi yokusebenza, futhi laklama ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenzelana okuningana. Okudume kakhulu kwalokhu kwakuyisixhumi esibonakalayo sewindi elilodwa kanye nethuluzi lokunqampuna elisha, umqondo wezindawo ezishisayo kamuva owathuthela kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezifana ne-darktable ne-LuminanceHDR. Okungathandwa kakhulu ukwahlukaniswa kokulondoloza idatha yokuklama (XCF) kanye nokuthekelisa zonke ezinye (i-JPEG, i-PNG, i-TIFF, njll.).
Ngo-2016, le phrojekthi yayinephrojekthi yayo yokugqwayiza ethathe isikhathi eside, i-ZeMarmot, ngenkathi isebenza kuyo, eminye imibono yokuthuthukisa i-GIMP yezithameli eziqondiwe yahlolwa. Ukuthuthukiswa kwakamuva okunjalo ukusekela ukukhethwa kwesendlalelo eziningi egatsheni lokuthuthukisa elingazinzile.
Inguqulo ye-GIMP 3.0 esekelwe ku-GTK3 iyalungiswa okwamanje. Ukuqaliswa kokucutshungulwa kwesithombe okungangonakali kuhlelelwe inguqulo 3.2.
Bobabili abathuthukisi bokuqala be-GIMP bayaqhubeka nokusebenza ndawonye (omunye wabo waze washada nodadewabo womunye) futhi manje balawula iphrojekthi. IphelaDB.
Peter Mattis bahlanganyele ekuhalaliseleni futhi wabonga amavolontiya aqhubeka nomsebenzi awuqalile.
USpencer Kimball unikeze ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule ingxoxo yevidiyo mayelana ne-CockroachDB. Ekuqaleni kwenhlolokhono, wakhuluma kafushane ngomlando wokudalwa kwe-GIMP (05:22), kwathi ekugcineni, lapho ebuzwa umninikhaya ukuthi iyiphi impumelelo ayeziqhenya ngayo, waphendula (57:03) : βI-CockroachDB isondela kulesi simo, kodwa i-GIMP akukabi iphrojekthi yami engiyithandayo. Njalo uma ngifaka i-GIMP, ngiyabona ukuthi isingcono futhi. Ukube i-GIMP kuwukuphela kwephrojekthi engiyidalile, bengizobheka ukuthi impilo yami ibingelona ize. "
