Hi, Last W-E, I discovered that the Value Curve is in fact applied independantly to each of the R, G & B channels. Pretty useless since using a non-linear Value Curve is going to change the HUE channel. Today, I experimented with different tools and I found that the Contrast tool has a very unusual behavior. I tried different tools (Krita, OpenOffice, Cinepaint) and they all handle the contrast the same way. Basically, reducing the contrast is like adding a grey mask to the image. The Contrast tool in gimp is very different. This is the original image: http://www.chauveau-central.net/colors.png This is what Cinepaint produces when I reduce the contrast. So far so good: http://www.chauveau-central.net/colors-cinepaint.png And this is what I get with Gimp: http://www.chauveau-central.net/colors-gimp.png What do you think?
