Name        : gimp
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 2.8.2
Release     : 5.fc18
URL         : http://www.gimp.org/
Summary     : GNU Image Manipulation Program
Description :
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and
editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other
graphics for webpages. GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect
to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well.
GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations
and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all
with multi-level undo.

Update Information:

This update contains fixes for these issues:

- Using "Crop to selection" doesn't adapt selection to cropped image.
- Large amounts of RAM trigger a bug which makes GIMP crash.
- Saving/exporting from the context menu fails to make the file dialog transient to the main window and generates warnings.

Additionally, it enables using the system monitor profile for color management by default. This only affects users which haven't run GIMP before and can be changed in Edit → Preferences → Color Management.
