GIMP 3.2 adds a new feature I’ve wanted for years to the image editor
For years now, GIMP has handled resizing an image in the same way. If you, say, import a photograph you really like, shrink it, and then decide you actually want it a little bigger, you'll notice that the photo is now a blurry mess. This is because it imported the photograph as a set of pixels; when you squash it down, it removes the pixels that no longer 'fit'. Then, when you stretch it back out again, it just enlarges the pixels that remained, meaning everything looks low-quality.
