So let me get this straight: Currently GIMP is a complete image framework that handles both compositing (I think that term refers to handling/merging the image data formats) and filtering. Because the filtering is so dependant upon the image composition, there is no point in replacing only the compositing layer because all the filters would have to be rewritten anyway, or at least changed significantly. Therefore the plan is to pull the filtering algorithms from GIMP and reimplement them in and on top of GEGL, toss the GIMP compositing, and replace both with GEGL API calls. Is that correct? GEGL would end up looking something like the ImageMagick API? _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
