Maybe.  Probably.

But I think it's time for me a a user to stop telling developers
what I need and to start asking what you need to make that
happen.

I think it's time to stop looking at this from the position of
nebulous wants and desires and to start looking at the end
product and asking what restrictions need to be placed on its
development.  Where does it connect to the rest of the program?
How does it interact with the rest of the program?  When we know
that, we'll be able to start figuring out how best to implememt it.

> Supporting someone that is inexperienced with hacking on the GIMP core

I'm not asking for support.  I'm just asking you what the shape
of the hole is that the CMYK peg must fit into.

I'm not really suggesting that I tackle the problem, but in my
experience, the first response to ``You should have feature X''
is usually ``You forgot to attach the patch.''  Talk is cheap,
and somebody needs to offer to help.

Well, I'm a man of my word and so I just contributed my wiki
attempt to do my part to change this from pie-in-the-sky
dreaming.

There's an incomplete draft here:

<http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/ToDo/FloorpieCMYK>

I still need to come up with a good color correction example and
a good rich black example, but I should sleep now.

Yup, on-canvas level/curves. Excellent point.

Another idea: Gradient fill tool that has color stops editable on
canvas (a-la Inkscape).

Yahvuu, you probably need to clarify: how is this different from
Colors->Map->Gradient Map?

Better? We already have exact control of clipping for each of
R,G,B,Value , so do you mean a change in the quality of clipping
control? I think this needs to be more specific

If I had this, I'd probably delete all my gradients :) IMO this is a
much more usable way in general, and premade gradients cover only a
small subset of use cases.

Peter Hi,

I think you should post this question to the GIMP-USERS list.
I find it extremely useful to ask the users themselves what do they want to
be a part of a package they are using...

sorry for the misspelling. Exactly Colors->Map->Gradient Map is what i meant.
Here again, a balance between emphasizing certain photo areas
and adjusting the global tone is desired.

Indeed, clipping is under full control right now. Applying the on-canvas idea,
it's interface could be supplemented by marking the border between important
image regions and those regions which can be color-clipped without regret.

More useful would be augmented feedback:
- how harsh does the clipping start?
- which details get lost?
- is one of R,G,B clipping early?
Something more advanced than letting the clipped pixels blink could
be interesting here.


greetings,
peter
