Ubuntu is based on Debian and the default Gimp version comes from the Debian version. Guessing you use Ubuntu 19.10 based on Debian 10 and hence Gimp 2.10.8 is the default. If you have a Gimp 2.10.18 it is a 'snap' version from the so-called ubuntu software centre. The problem with snap applications is they are 'self-contained' & 'sandboxed' and can be limited if you ever intend to use any extra compiled plug-ins or external RAW editors such as Rawtherapee or Darktable. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
