[Gimp-developer] Better grouping of layer modes

2008-11-01 Thread Martin Nordholts
Hi The layer mode combo box contains groups of layer modes. I fail to see the logic behind the current grouping and instead propose a new grouping. The new groups are: * Different alpha compositing methods * Modes that always gives a brighter result * Modes that always give a darker result *
