Heh. I think we're all discovering that we've got the skills and interests to write a mini-Gimp, but also realizing that we're writing software for 3 year old kids (and older, of course). So yeah, there'll be conflicts. Hopefully we'll simply continue tweaking and adding features that are both cool and useful, AND seem appropriate for young kids. And hey, I'm obviously NOT beyond features like: --lessgreys --onlycrazysaturatedkidcolors ...if we end up wanting the best of both worlds. ;^) <snip> > The sRGB space maps to the CIE XYZ space, which is based on > careful measurement of human subjects comparing colors.
