Maybe it would possible to get more effects (35 adjustments and effects for

Please please don't bring mono dependencies into Shotwell.
I hated it when I was using F-spot and had to install one billion mono
packages just for that one application :-/
Not to fear. We will not accept Mono dependencies in Shotwell.
It would be nice to have as few dependencies as possible.
Or to have effects and such as external plugins, optional.
Sure - an external plugin can use any dependencies it wants, of course.
---As a side note, do we really need to tweak images *inside* Shotwell?
I mean, Gimp is pretty good for that.
I guess a regular user would need for everyday normal photo work-flow
just the very basic ones, namely straighten, colour correction
(including desaturate) and crop. Maybe also resize and format
conversion.
I agree. We don't want to turn Shotwell into Gimp. I'm open to adding
cool adjustments and effects that operate on an entire image, but we
probably don't want to add drawing tools or operations that work on only
part of an image.
Talking about straighten, I find the gThumb "rotate" quite nice
(compared for instance to the F-spot one), because it has the option
to draw a line on the photo and align parallel or perpendicular to
that line.
You might want to try Shotwell's new straighten tool, which is
implemented in git master and will ship in 0.12. It doesn't let you
draw a line on the photo, but it does display horizontal lines in the
tool itself so I think it makes it pretty easy to make the horizon level
in your image.
