@Paranoidfactoid No worries! I think I misunderstood what you meant by "mask". Technically, each filter has an associated mask (set to the active selection when applying the filter) - we just don't have the UI yet to edit it after the fact. It's on the TODO list.

I have a pending merge request for exporting Inkscape SVGs that didn't quite make it into 3.2. I'd like to add better SVG import (as vector not raster) integration as well - Inkscape is awesome.

@Paranoidfactoid Trust me, I'm well aware the UX can be a lot better - I'm the person who implemented initial non-destructive filters for GIMP 3.0. :)

I'm just saying that it can be done in GIMP right now, and I linked a plug-in that makes it easier (it adds a menu option that does all I said in a single step). I'm happy to hear feedback from people who use GIMP on how to improve it further.

@Paranoidfactoid @monica_b1998 We actually do have masking on Adjustment Layer Groups. Basically, make a layer group in passthrough mode, put whatever combination of filters you want on it, then add a layer mask.

Someone even made a plug-in to simplify that process while we continue to work on the UX: https://github.com/yousei3/GIMP3-Aseudo-Adjustment-Layers/releases/tag/Ver1.0

@grue We'll see! Might be kept for historic reasons.

@cabbage @Jhex We actually have an artist who has been working on refreshing/updating our default brushes/patterns/etc.

We're hoping to finally incorporate their work in GIMP 3.4 (we're planning to release 3.2 in a few weeks)!
