I've been reading both the blog posts, and the many discussions here on the mailing list, mainly as an interested user of Gimp. Here are the main reasons I work with two images fully open at one time: - sampling colours from one image to use in another other. (I have a number of palette images I keep around for this purpose. I know I could just create real .pal files from them, but I like to be able to have the colours spatially distributed the way I like...) - cutting and pasting areas/selections from one image into the other - cloning from one image to another (auto-scroll would be nice, here). I also like to work with two views of the same image at different zoom ratios, depending on the work I am doing (details drawing, usually). This includes zoomed in cutting and pasting or cloning of areas that are far apart. That being said, I believe I would continue to work with the current multi window layout, mainly because I am used to it... -Rob A> _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
