I like this. It's well thought out, and practical. One part I wonder if you considered, is that only the last 'absolute' modifier for a target would apply; the ineffective controls should be marked as such. A tree visualization could work better: Opacity - Pressure [percent] [0][1.0] Size -

By the way people, 'copy visible' always copies the entire selection -- the resultant buffer always matches the selection bounds exactly.. When there is no selection this is naturally the full image size. If you don't like this behaviour, you can use the Autocrop filter on the resultant image or
