[Gimp-developer] Will the Gimp support the Layer Effects?

2001-08-19 Thread Iccii

Hello,

I wrote the script which simulate the Photoshop's Layer Effects.
I think that the Layer Effects is nice feature. Will the Gimp
support the Layer Effects in future? The script isn't easy
to use because dialog doesn't preview the resulting image.
http://isweb6.infoseek.co.jp/computer/wingimp/files/script/layer-effects_en
.html

...and I need the Grouped Layer in this script (e.g. Color Overlay).

Thanks,

I haven't looked at the script, but if we want to support Layer Effects,
we need to define what layer effects are and need a proposal of how they
could be implemented. Once we know what changes to the core are necessary,
we can discuss if we want to include this feature for 1.4 or if we should
wait for the 2.0 version where layer effects are part of the overall 
design.


Salut, Sven

Hello,

 I haven't looked at the script, but if we want to support Layer
Effects,
 we need to define what layer effects are and need a proposal of how they
 could be implemented.

The Layer Effects command create various layers (child layer)
on the parent layer which has alpha channel. The child layers
affects the parent layer based on parent's transparency.
There are some layer effects e.g. Drop Shadow, Outer Glow,
Bevel and Emboss, Pattern Overlay, etc. It's quite simple
effects, but common effects.

Parent layer
  |- Drop Shadow layer
  |- Inner Bevel layer
  |- Satin layer
  L  and other children layer

The Layer Effects dialog controls the children layer. In this dialog,
I can add or remove any effects, and change the effect parameters.
So it is necessary to regenerate the children layer without
deleting or changing any layers.
