How I wish I could remove that part of my brain that translates RGB to CMYK.

Back on topic - I use the default picker.  I would use the triangle
were it snappier.  The CMYK sliders are a must - but they could be
added to the 'scales' color picker in order to consolidate.  I don't
have any use for the watercolor picker, but I can see why some folks
would like it.  The palette picker doesn't seem useful unless you can
edit/load/save the palette(s).

[Gimp-developer] default setup for 2.4 comments

2006-12-06 Thread Adrian Likins

Sven mention on irc the issue of choosing what the default setup for 2.4 
should be. So here are some of my thoughts:


1. In the toolbox, the fg/bg color, and brush/patter/gradient boxes 
should be on.

2. Add color selector and palette dialogs to the default "Layers, 
Channels, Paths, Undo | Brushes, Patterns, Gradient" dialog that comes 
up currently.

3. Change the default image size (any particular reason it is 377x233?)
I'd suggest 1024x768

4. Don't show the devices dialog by default. It's a bit redundant with
#1, and only shows one device for most users.

5. It might be nice to have the stock round/square brushes be dynamic
brushes by default. (If I understand correctly, theres a small
concern that this might break some existing scripts?)

6. A wider selection of basic brushes would be good, especially with the 
   #5.

7. I'd like to see some high resolution brushes included, especially now
with brush downscaling being easy to get to.

8. Maybe some more examples of pixmap/hose brushes. I kind of hate that
green pepper and vine brush (and I made them...). Not sure what 
exactly yet, but I have some ideas:
a. something that makes obvious use of the directional pipes
would be good.
 b. Maybe a simple tube drawing brush
(aka, a rendered sphere with the spacing set to a low value)
c. Maybe a couple more (bigger) sizes of the Pencil Sketch
brushes
d. a wilber brush? (totally useless, but hey... it's wilber)
 e. a series of flipped versions of the "Caligraphic Brush"
series

9. I'd turn on "Save Tool options on exit" by default. We have a "reset
to default" in the dialogs if someone wants to reset the tools.

10. Man, am I ever tired of those default pattern options. (Mostly
 my fault unfortunately). They didn't age very well. Not sure
 if we can do much about it without breaking scripts.

11. Ditto with the gradients, though we should probably add another
 example or two of using the dynamic color stuff in gradients

Thats all that comes to mind at the moment.

No objections personally, but if I recall correctly, the new comment
violates some inconsenquential part of the GNU coding standards, if we
care about them.

Actually, during the user observations we found out that
print-oriented professionals have learned to thing in CYMK.

So we need this mode for them.

Any objections?

I think you meant to send it to the gimp-user list though...

The purpose of the CMYK selector is not to allow intuitive color
selection. It's meant for the case where you have to use a color that is
specified in CMYK. Given that you are using the correct color profile,
you should be able to get the matching RGB color by using the CMYK
selector.
