Re: [Gimp-user] Update blocked by trend micro
“X software is bad because of some alleged observations I made and will not share with anyone for some reason. There is no need to question me for I know everything.” Ah yes, what a very reliable, provable, and definitely not inaccurate fact. You’ve convinced me, I will be uninstalling Trend Micro effective immediately. Oh wise one, will you please tell me what other software is bad? If nothing else, you’re at least good for a laugh. Everything from the likely false claims of experience, to the galavanting around the mailing list as if you know everything there is to know. You’re pretty entertaining pal.

Re: [Gimp-user] Update blocked by trend micro
That’s a completely false and baseless claim. The only software on my personal PC is free software, a large portion of which is open source as well. Trend Micro has never once blocked any of them from being installed. There’s a right way to make a point and then there’s what you’re doing which is throwing around baseless claims and flaming anyone and everyone that disagrees with your point of view. Please either just respond to the OP and help them with their issue or just stop responding.

Re: [Gimp-user] Update blocked by trend micro
For what it’s worth, I also use Trend Micro and have been very happy with it over the years. As was stated previously, Trend Micro, like every other internet security software, can report some false positives from time to time and that may be what’s happening here. I saw mention here that this was a company machine though I can’t seem to find it now. If that is in fact the case, it may be that the security config is set a bit tighter than it otherwise would be. I would recommend a few things: 1. If this is a corporate machine, I recommend speaking with your Sys Admin team to see if it is okay to install the software first. Following that, ask them to review the file for any security vulnerabilities. 2. Trend Micro flagged the .part file which means that it was flagged before the file was fully downloaded and that might be causing some issues. As Liam suggested, re-downloading the file might solve this. 3. If Trend Micro flags it again, it seems that it quarantined the file which should mean that you can get the file back and run a security scan on it after it’s completely downloaded. If Trend Micro reports it as safe, you should be good to go. P.S: I did also just download the exe myself and ran a security scan on it. Trend Micro reported that it was fine though this isn’t a conclusive test as I think the GIMP website shuffles the mirrors used.

Re: [Gimp-user] Is GIMP a knockoff of Photoshop?
I guess technically by “definition” one could consider GIMP a knock off but that’s like saying an my and all image processing programs are knock offs of one another. That said, GIMP isn’t being developed to take whatever features are in Photoshop and remake them into a free program. GIMP is developed entirely independently of Photoshop with very little regard given to what Adobe is adding to its product. At the end of the day, does it really matter? > On Mar 6, 2020, at 6:01 PM, TheComputerGuy via gimp-user-list > wrote: > > I'm being told GIMP is a knockoff of Photoshop rather than an alternative > because "it fits the definition".

Re: [Gimp-user] Referencing GIMP
Hello Tawfik, There is no real “company” developing GIMP but referencing it as The GIMP Development Team should suffice. As for the location, GIMP did originate in California, U.S.A.

Re: [Gimp-user] Multiple GPU Support?
Apologies if your question has already been answered. The mailing list has been acting up for me lately. To my knowledge, GIMP does not utilize multiple GPUs. When GIMP 2.8 launched, it had just enabled GPU acceleration via OpenCL and at the time, I myself had two GPUs in my computer. I had taken a look at the resource monitor while running various filters and I noticed that only one of them was being used. This may have changed in recent versions but I have not seen nor heard of multi GPU support having been added. Although I'd love to be wrong about this :) On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 1:29 PM notker88 via gimp-user-list < gimp-user-list@gnome.org> wrote: > Does GIMP utilize multiple GPUs or only one GPU at maximum?
