Pasting a snapshot of changes from one image to some other is a known concept, it works at least in Canon's RAW processing software. The difference is that it only remembers changes and doesn't allow editing them. Thus editable chain of processing/effects sounds like an interesting idea. What is also interesting for me is how far F-Spot's developers want to go with processing, since there are always several ways to accomplish a task [1] ;-) [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/create/2006-March/000371.html Alexandre _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
