You don't need to write any code, just use this pre-existing module. However, I'll still answer the rest of your questions: > I liked to implement this as removeable plug-ins but they are > (as far as I expect) not selfcalling.

Yes, because changing the gamma of the display requires tight integration with the display code. > 2. What are all the differences between plug-ins and modules? Plugins run in their own process, so if there is a bug in a plugin, it should not crash the gimp. Modules run in the same process as the main gimp, so a bug in the module can crash the entire thing. The only reason you should use a module is if your code needs to be called so frequently that the overhead of being in a separate process is too much. Or, if you need to share state with the main gimp application (eg because you are extending the main UI directly, like the colour selectors do). Hope this helps, Austin
