Hi Peter, some ideas from a typical photo workflow: perspective correction - select some prominent lines from the image and "get them straight" alignment of horizon line - in cooperation with an automated guess? crop & rotate, set - virtual photography ala google earth? aspect ratio perhaps even with composition aids (rule of thirds, Westhoff's Diagonal Method, etc) levels, curves - could support the user's intention more directly: - mark places in the image, which should be brighter/darker, or have more/less contrast or modified colors - the whitepoint, graypoint pickers could be adjustable markers on the image. Or a completely different method for whitebalance? - if tones are getting compressed, better control of where the clipping happens (separately for each of R,G,B, Value) gradation map - nearly the same: map image points to positions in the gradient greetings, peter _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
