Well then, as crude as it may sound, consider this an intentional punch in the face, as much so as those people punched Ms Peck (great book, btw) in the face by making her waste time un-crippling the plugin. As soon as someone integrates the region feature into the 2.2 plugin, I will be running that. As has been mentioned in so many other threads time and again, you can't hold GIMP out as a viable replacement for Photoshop AND make it grandmother-friendly. The 2.2 interface was fine. Maybe it needs better tooltips and labels for some people. Hide one of the delays in an 'advanced options' panel if you must. But do not remove functionality just to make grandma happy. Removing functionality is never the answer. Removing functionality is the question. The answer is NO. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
