I think Lightness is fine from an end user perspective. The docs need to be updated to reflect the real meaning behind the slider (and it's name - the docs call it "Value" at the moment). The reason this came up at all was that someone asked what units were associated with those sliders, which led me to ask what the real meaning was for each slider. Now I know. :-) I've got a minor patch for the english version of the online docs. I'll submit it to the gimp-docs mailing list. Thanks. -- Michael J.
