It makes me think that maybe it would be good to offer such presets, agrred, but only if there's a way for user to define custom toolsets. So, instead of one fixed palette for everyone, we would have a flexible one. You want to draw or digipaint with GIMP? Fine! Have your own set of brushes for that. Possibly even with some colors preassigned. You want to retouch a photo? Okee! Have your set of smudges, patches, stamps, whatever rows your boat :). Anyway _your_ set of tools for _specific_ need, without a clutter of tools that you'll never use for your task. Maybe it all could be bound in one âperspectiveâ, âworkspaceâ or whatever-to-be-called that could be easily interchangeable between users (e.g. as a sinle file). This, I think, would give us one GIMP core with multitude of faces. Heck! Maybe even GIMP as raw photo editor for that matter ;). Best regards! thebodzio
