Re: [Gimp-user] adjustment layer
Very clear. Thanks for a so clear and energizing answer Simon ! It's full of good things even if you warn us about the time it can take. Topic almost closed for me... Sincerely. > What happens *after* Gimp 2.4 has been released will go more along the > lines you mention. We'll have great changes in the infrastructure (see > pippins link to GEGL) which makes things like adjustment layers or even > direct effects possible.

You just made me hold my breath ! (not to much time I hope...). Help you are asking for then help you will have !... but it will be another topic I think. Then to stay in the subject...you mean that The Gimp 2.4 will be able to deal with things like direct effects, adjustement layers, vector text ?

You mean ? :"Gimp went into feature freeze in October 1997. This meant that no new features would be added to the Gimp core libraries and program." cf : http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/docs/gimp/en/ch01s03.html And then there is no reason to wait for real-pro features like group-layers, effects on layers, vector text, adjustement layers, vector layers, infinite number of chanels ? Damn...I'm realy sad...I will never be able to use Gimp for my work. But...it's strange ! Because : "An image manipulation program was the consensus. A program that would at the very least lessen the necessity of using commercial software under `Windoze' or on the `Macintoy.'" cf : http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/docs/gimp/en/ch01s03.html Then ? What is the futur for Gimp ? To be or not to be a "program that would at the very least lessen the necessity of using commercial software under `Windoze' or on the `Macintoy.'" ? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
