Or some other tools or scripts? I'm sure there is a way but reading your mail I came up with an idea of what could be a nice feature for GIMP-1.4: What if we add an opacity slider to the channels dialog similar to the one on the layers dialog? The opacity would affect normal selection channels (where it can now be set in the dialog that pops up when you double-click the channel's name). For the red, green, blue and alpha channels it would affect the projection thus allowing for easy interactive color-correction of the whole image. Is that a good idea or not? Salut, Sven
