Read the manual, read developers corner (http://cinelerra.org/devcorner.php), browse the archive of the ML. There is a lot of work to do before you reach to the ' mathematical algos for the image processing theories'. But you have to get through source code at some level to be able to develop for cinelerra. You may start of looking at the "Hue saturation" plugin (https://init.linpro.no/pipermail/skolelinux.no/cinelerra/2012-January/018507.html). Quick look at it made me think that there is a problem of scaling the pixel value. I suspect similar problems with other plugins using plugins/libcolor > > Also, can I replace the effects' icons with some more acceptable eye-candy > ones, because I find the current ones way too ugly? > If you want to redesign the icons you have to create a new theme. The advantage of the current icons is that they differ from each other even if they are scaled down to taskbar. This enables finding of the right window if you have a couple of dozens windows open. The first thing is to find the place in cinelerra where to start.
