Blender's Composite Nodes anyone? ;> http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-242/blender-composite-nodes/ Personally I love the idea. What is more, I think that such editor could be developed as an external project, independent of GIMP, yet "pluggable" to the latter. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
