I would expect a functional "pick white"-type colour correction function without any question in any decent photo editor. Using the existing colour correction tools isn't difficult, but somehow the results are not good. Probably part of it is my fault, but I didn't find a set of operations which gibe acceptible results, after several tries. > If you want to support Linux, then support the GIMP.

There's a tutorial on that on gimpguru.org, which at first glance seems a superb teaching site. However you can't compare a white balance correction (simple algorithm taking about 2 simple parameters) with red eye removal (more complicated algorithm with a select-region problem), which I therefore wouldn't lump under basic functionality. Mightily handy though if it was there and worked... Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
