True, but F-Spot does all its edits in a new version, and always keeps the original. So, in a sence it is a non-destructive editor ;) I just loved the way you modified parameters in Picaso, and saw the result directly. Like blurring an image apart from a circle, where you could change the radious of the circle as well as the center of it. Very easy and simple. And seeing the result as you modify it. > > Actually, F-Spot already has features a photoeditor should have - Raw > processing (very very basic, but tending to grow up), red-eye remover, > cropping etc., and I'm not sure whether all of these features are > non-destructive (at least red-eye remover cannot be). Yes, and I like them. Have not used them much yet though. And the small filters I was talking about should definitely not be a high priority, but I am convinced that many people would love them. Easy to use, and very conveniant. Of course, has to be easy to implement, otherwise doesn't make sence perhaps. > > I think there are several use cases for a software like F-Spot that > could show, how many features of a photo retouching application F-Spot > would need. Do we have such use cases already described somewhere?

As for use cases, please look at the below links. They should be considered a guide line I think. http://primates.ximian.com/~glesage/wiki/doku.php?id=f-spot:use_cases http://primates.ximian.com/~glesage/wiki/doku.php?id=f-spot /Bengt -- Bengt Thuree [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
