Interesting, thanks for the pointer Chris, but it doesn't even show up anywhere I can find (I copied it to ~/.gimp-2.0/scripts/grey-point.scm), presumably because it's for gimp 1.2, now dead. Most things at that registry seem to be for the attic. The gimp help keeps on mentioning how gimp can correct digital camera photos, yet gimp can't even change a colour temperature or correct a white balance (*very* common problem). But according to http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14957.html gimp can add a sun above the horizon straight ahead and lens flare to match to a photo which otherwise has big shadows making it clear the sun is at the right high in the sky... guess that'll fix my photos up then. ;( Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
