I was looking though the dev list there and found references to a good introduction to image processing one of the devs there had done on http://pippin.gimp.org/image_processing/. Recommended reading for anyone who haven't played with such algorithms before. (And for people who has as well.) He has apparently also made a plugin for Lua for GIMP which allows for some flexible image manipulation programmatically. I have to say that seems like a pretty nice thing for making basic effects and tying them into a GUI. Also the basic structure for how they "draw" processing diagrams is pretty close to what I was thinking of for "work flows" of effects. (Though theirs is better as they actually have stuff running. ;-) /Marcus _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
