Actually, I didn't understand why you grouped them with Difference (even given your explanation of 'can produce completely different colors'); I would have grouped them with Overlay, since they both provide darkening ( on one side of 128) and lightening (on the other side of 128), In general I like these new groupings a lot, particularly the positional correlation (add/sub, dodge/burn) I'm a bit puzzled as to why Multiply is paired thusly with Screen -- Divide is closer to being the opposite of Multiply IMO (from a visual inspection div(mul(x)) and mul(div(x)) are closer to the original x than scr(mul(x)) or mul(scr(x)) ) David _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
