Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'm afraid that might turn out to be equivalent. Using existing babl is out of the question because it is just way too slow. Leaves improving babl, which I will be glad to do (or attempt) next. I just don't expect that to be a quickie. Some questions already came up and I'm sure there will be more. The algorithms will probably have to be twiddled with, maybe just a few more bits precision, maybe some floating point/integer/LUT combination -- I just don't know yet. Once that's done, all current Lab conversions in GIMP can easily be ported to babl. If it turns out I'm wrong and it's much easier and quicker than I anticipate -- fantastic. Throw those conversion right back out and it's babl all the way. If I'm not, then it's a feature that could have been. Regards Rupert PS: As David already noted, the last patch doesn't have the conversions in libgimpcolor anymore -- so no additional API. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
