Normalization MathMerge offers optimized Normalization, e.g. sqrt for image multiply mode. See: http://www.hans.breuer.org/gimp/mathmerge.htm for an example. Finally a user customable normalization will be available. Currently it should work by pdb call only. Imagination At least I'm thinking technical/mathematical to produce some desired effects. E.g.: it seems to be much simplier to generate an optimized mask by mathematical combinations, rather than with the Layer Modes. And finally, take it or leave it ...
