This change was suggested a while back, on the developer list I think. If I recall correctly it was implemented and is included in the latest CVS version of the GNU Image Manipulation program but now that I look at the mailing list archives I may be mistaken: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08055.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08081.html It was good of you to make the effort to explain the problem you were really trying to solve and then suggesting a possible solution (it doesn't hurt that Photoshop does it that way either). - Alan H. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
