Now to get this straight I have already been told by Gimp-Dev that this is a different type of graphics handing vector etc.
The purpose of this mailing list thread is to discuss what features we can possibly add to Gimp or create plug ins for new functionality.
Another note is a long time ago I did not know how to use future and played around with Coral draw and made a flier headline which was pretty impressive as I have never used that program before that. Now to make things totally clear I am not saying add the coral draw image handling to Gimp but rather try to discuss what can be possibly added to Gimp to expand its image handling abilities and also to identify any gimp shortcomings.
Another purpose pertains to straying from the Photoshop type environment. I am thinking of adding stuff that would be useful for a developer of any kind where the user can do stuff with Gimp that they would not be able to do with Photoshop.
The functions I am thinking of consist of adding a few things like being able to draw lines and possibly shapes if the graphics manipulation type will support it. Also A long time ago I used to play with Paint shop and found that I could do amazing stuff pertaining to the color management. The way it was set up allowed for incredible abilities in color manipulation.
The end function of this discussion is to identify and add manipulation abilities that are not available in Photoshop to the point where a Gimp user has a significant advantage over using Photoshop.
Warmest Regards
