I would rather say that it is currently almost impossible to implement sanely. Ah, but I'm insane. Add a layer type for effect layers, and define 3 operations that you can associate with the layer (to start): curves, levels and colour balance. All the operations are pixel-by-pixel, which should make things easier. Then hack the projection code to add a special case for an effect layer. Internally I would say they are blend modes. Make them special so content is fixed and flat (better compression), so only layer mask matters. Then make the formula for the blend mode be curves, levels, colour balance... whatever you can find that is pix to pix (and probably LUT based in many cases, if not all) and make it work in BG while the FG is unused. The settings would be stored in a parasite. Excellent idea. Unfortunately, when people say they want layer effects most of the time what they mean is that they want spiffy auto-drop shadows. Of course, that's not that hard to represent with a few parameters. But it's not exactly something you can implement with a LUT. Still, I think it's pretty doable as a custom layer. Perhaps implementing some as blend types and some as custom layers is a good plan.

Can you elaborate on this? Single unified interface sounds great but I have no idea what you mean here. Script-fu does not look like Python-fu or Perl-fu. Users should not be able to tell from the user interface that a different programming langauge was used. They all have automatically generated user intefaces* but the results look different, and some widgets such as a Radio list are supported in Python-fu but not in script-fu. Not sure I can make it any clearer but hopefully someone else can help explain it. -- Alan H. * Okay some of the Perl scripts have manually written graphical users interfaces but that is a side issue. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
