I said "operate on", not "call". :) The projection has a GeglBuffer associated with it, see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/app/display/gimpdisplayshell-render.c#n77 That is what the color conversion needs to use as an input, basically*. * It should probably go through the display filters first, if any exists. But that can probably be solved later. -- Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
