Thank for clearing I also searched the bugzilla report for overlay mode but i could not find it anymore But instead i find a interesting proposal of Jao O Buono that, i believe risk to be forgotten because posted in a no so strictly related topic (here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401754 ) i quote since is short >"... since a long time,i envision a GIMP capable of using new layer >modes on the fly. >The GEGL when used as an engine should add this ability, and this is being >tracked at Bug #161449. >However even after that is implemented, and GEGL is used widespread >inside the GIMP, a UI for CUSTOM layer modes will need to be written. >This surely will >have a default layer mode listing, and the proposed modes could certainly >be there." The possibility to add "CUSTOM " layer modes (here i think mostly to modes used in Photoshop but missed in gimp as exclusion, pin light, vivid light...) will be very useful, even in the case would be a "advanced" option requiring some fiddling from users, and maybe precaution when saving here,I can't imagine how that may be done but if possible would be quite useful thank for your work ,correct application of merging mode is in my opinion fundamental for sw as Gimp _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
