Well, I personally had been using gimp for several years and at least one image processing related university class behind me, before I ran into sharpening tutorial that mentioned it as one of the options. If photo processing isn't your main track, you probably dont know what its for. And its a serious usability issue, if there are features that would be very useful, but are impossible to discover. Being pro-oriented is fine, but there are several kinds of pros and stomping on in gimp education of its users like that is really not helpful IMHO. I'm not suggesting changing it's name, I'm proposing suffixing the name of the algorithm with its purpose because the algorithm name itself is outright misleading. Putting it in the menu in a menu item named Sharpen would serve the same purpose, but I dont think we have any other sharpening algorithms in default distribution to justify that. -- --Alexia p.s Sorry for the double mail again, Sven... _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
