Thank you for your feedback. I have only read some papers about how SIOX extract thing, and didn't sure the real lack point of SIOX. Your suggestion is very helpful. :) I didn't read the code of SIOX and GIMP yet, and be not sure if the features in this page <http://www.siox.org/preview.html> has been implemented in GIMP's current development version. If not, is it a good a GSoC project of implementing these features? And I'm still not sure if Gerald want to be a mentor in this GSoC Season. BTW, I have idled on the IRC channel #gimp for days, where I'm glad if anyone could give me suggestions, or just talk :) Cheers, Jenny _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
