[Gimp-developer] New functionality request

[Marc Mascré]

Hello everybody,

I would like to have a new functionality and I would like to submit to 
you this idea. I need an auto align layer tool (rotation and 
translation). Photoshop have it and I miss it a lot.


In fact, I think we could use and existing algorithm. Hugin, a panorama 
maker, have this function. And for example Luminance-HDR, an HDR picture 
maker, have an option to use Hugin algorithm to autoalign pictures 
before merge it.


I'd like to have a tool to do :

layer > auto align

and pow, it's done !

I look for a plugin to do it and I found some plugin to align layer. But 
they are not automatic enough and they only align layer 2 per 2. With an 
automatic tool, we could align many layer in the same time.


Do you think it is possible to have this function like Photoshop ?


Thanks a lot.

Yes, Luminance HDR can use the alignment tool from Hugin. Which means
you have to have Hugin installed, if you need that feature. We cannot
demand that from our users.


Ok but may be we can have a fork of this algorithm integrated to gimp. With
this, no more hugin installation is needed, wright ?



A native function (or maybe a GEGL op?) would come in handy in quite a
few cases, including exposure combination (whenever someone writes UI
for that GEGL tool).


I'm sorry but I'm a simple user and I don't know what is GEGL. sorry :-/


   Patches are welcome


Sure, but my problem is I don't know writing code. As I said, I'm just a
user. I talk about gimp around me the most I can. But that is my only
competence.

I ask this new feature here because I read somewhere on the bug tracker that
is better to ask for a new functionality here. Sorry if I'm wrong.

I use gimp for photography and very often on video, guys show how to do
something or something else with Photoshop. And very often this function is
called. So I'm not able to reproduce.

It let me two solutions :
- going back on Photoshop
- asking for this function on Gimp.

And I really, but really, don't want to going back on Photoshop.

Thanks

Marc
