Hi! Firstoff, I want to say thank you to all the developers who have made the gimp possible. It is one of my most used Linux applications, although I am by no means a power user yet. I have two questions, both of which are newbieish so please for give me and feel free to smack me upside the head for suggesting them if they are irrelevant or already present in the the gimp. 1) I was on the lizard tech site a while back, and I stumbled onto this page: http://www.lizardtech.com/products/djvu/referencelibrary/DjVuRefLib_3.0.html I am relatively ignorent of coding, but I have seen Djvu images in action and been quite impressed. It was originally developed by AT&T and then sold to these guys. If this site is correct, they have released some fairly interesting software under GPL, including the complete decoder and some more basic encoding abilities for the djvu format. Would this be useful to add to the gimp? Has anyone looked into this before? 2) As I'm sure many of you saw, linuxjournal did an article on some professional graphics tools being ported to linux for animation work. In a screenshot of one of those programs, I believe there is a useful idea for a gimp color selection dialog. They apperently have a sort of "working toolbox" of colors being used for a particular image, and allow the user to label what each color is for. The screenshot in question is http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue88/4803f7.png for reference. There may also be other good ideas there I'm not seeing, but the working color dialog idea seems like (IMHO, of course) it might be useful. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Is it worth thinking about? I suppose immediate issues are how to make it behave - i.e., whether it automatically picks up any colors present in an image and adds them automatically to the dialog, or if the user adds them by hand as they want them included. Maybe the best way is a combination - have a button to add all colors in the image, maybe defining parameters like "all colors present between X and X" or selecting a region on the picture and taking all colors from there, and also allow inclusion by hand if desired. Thanks for listening. CY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
