[Gimp-developer] Change Request: Redesign the Color Balance UI
I used Color Balance a lot recently. And i want to propose a redesign of the UI to make it more intuitive. I have made a quick mockup of that: http://files.spacefish.biz/gimp/new_color_correction_menu.png Maybe i got this wrong, but isn´t the Color Balance menu just a simple 3-Way Color Correction Panel? What do you think about the idea? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list

I guess some people would like to retain numeric input, but that's just my gut feeling. For me 3-way would be preferable. I would definitely want to keep the numbers. For one thing you're not going to be able to drag those dots-in-circles in real time, since it can take several minutes to redraw the screen for each change - unless the filter was modified to work on the preview image first, at least. And yes, I have a reasonably recent, powerful computer, but I work with print-resolution images - 45 to 500 Megapixel digital cameras are not unheard of either. In the meantime, just having a colour bar on each slider, or above it, in the existing dialogue, would greatly help colour balance and also colourize.

I guess some people would like to retain numeric input, but that's just my gut feeling. For me 3-way would be preferable. The tool could offer both methods so users can choose. Actually, Blender has two different methods: Lift/Gamma/Gain and Offset/Power/Slope (the second is the ASC-CDL standard exchange format for color grading). If the 3-way UI and the current numeric inputs have a correspondence, users could change between modes without loosing the grading. Boosting the color balance tool to add this new stuff sounds like a really cool GSoC project, especially now that making GIMP suitable for VFX work became one of the targets.

Does GIMP offer GSoC projects? Would this small task also be a GGSoC project? Offer? :) We usually do participate at GSoC, if that's what you mean :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
