hi all, Liam R E Quin wrote: > A nicer way to do this might be the ability to drag an icon from > Tool Options onto the toolbox to make a "new tool" that's really > a combination of default settings for an existing tool? in my mind, it's quite the other way round: An icon in the tool box represent a tool type and a Blob-o-Paint represents a fully setup tool. Ennobling Blobs-o-Paint to be 'proxy' paint contexts, i.e. you can apply tools and filters to BoPs just like you do on a layer, seems to open up a host of IxD options: - Wanna paint with saturation? Create a new BoP to specify the shape (i.e. spatial setup), then make it the current paint context and use Colors->Saturation on it. Eh voila, your 'magic paint' brush is ready. BoPs could also be split to represent 'double action' settings - then users can build their own dodge/burn, blur/sharpen, grain merge/extract tools etc. regards, yahvuu _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
