In fact the workflow you suggest could be made explicitly possible in the future as we move GIMP to a non-destructive editing paradgim using GEGL That will take a lot of time, however - as there is a huge lot of work for such fundamental changes. However, the good news is that the underlying image processing in GIMP - GEGL - was conceived to allow preview renderings - that would behave just like you suggest (working on the zoomed out part of an image as if it were a smaller image, for example) - and just this week Pippin sent an e-mail detailing how the final pieces are being put in place so that this starts working. So - it is not so simple, or explicit for the final users as you have it in your e-mail, but it is basically the same idea - just search the list developer list archives for a message from Øyvind Kolås on March the 18th to see the details. js -><- > > I have an idea that can make a huge impact on performance increase on GIMP > image manipulations.
