I could find a video for anyone interested, but that really wasn't my point. I suggested the feature not simply to ask for someone to copy photoshop in detail, but to solve the same problem that photoshop has managed to solve. Namely, figuring out an effective, efficient, and time-saving way of cleaning up a photo with a lot of marks or a dusty scan. > In general I would like to point out that it is unlikely that any of the > active core developers will pick up your feature requests.

Still, can it be logged as a valid feature request somewhere in the event that someone with the interest in improving the gimp might choose to implement this request? After all, I didn't just request it to scratch my own itch. I wanted to add my input into how the GIMP could improve. I wouldn't really know how to find a developer to work on this stuff. I would assume it's more likely that developers would come to you as core developers of the GIMP than to me after all. Thanks for your attention and all the hard work you guys do on the GIMP. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
