Yes definitely. In fact, layer mode compositing with GEGL _does_ work on data with gamma = 1.0. That is, the layer mode blending occurs on color data in the babl format "RaGaBaA float", i.e pre-multiplied, linear light 32 bit per channel RGBA. The reason you don't see a difference when toggling Use GEGL is that now during development the source data, namely the data from the tiles of the TileManagers of the GimpDrawables, are treated as if containing color data in the babl format "RGBA u8", i.e. linear light 8 bit per channel RGBA. A more correct assumption would be "R'G'B'A u8", i.e. gamma corrected RGBA. The long term goal is of course to make sure color space conversions are correct throughout the whole image processing pipeline, taking into account the current color profile of the image etc. BR, Martin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
