Wow, great information, thanks! As for Photivo Gimp plugin you referred to, is it the code that allows the "Send image to external editor" function? I'll give a try with RawTherapee, but Photivo, gave me the best results out of the box, besides offering a ton of options if I want to go further in post production... Once more, thanks for the great information -- oneaty (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
