design.I am studying Computer Science and Product Design, later planning to study and work in Interaction/Interface. I would like to volunteer for the UI design of GIMP.
Were can I upload a mock-up of UI changes? 2007/8/1, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Message: 7 > Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:45:05 +0200 > From: Sven Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] gimp "switchers" > To: Robert Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain > > Hi, > > On Wed, 2007-08-01 at 14:25 +1200, Robert Carter wrote: > > > And also possibly (less important) > > = GTK behaviours of the panels (photoshop has several tools on the > > same button) > > = Fullscreen behaviour (panels remain visible, windowed / grey > > ground / black ground - toggling) > > > > My main question is: How to do this in a way that will work in > > harmony with the current customisation options, so people can switch > > to standard gimp UI if they wish. > > Why would you want to do it this way?

Users don't know exactly what can happen, but they do have an idea (this comes from personal experience). I use layers with just one color and layer modes for special effects. Also, I even have a batch of 3 layer modes used after scanning black and white drawings (sure this can be done using a new "enhance tool" but it is not necessary). The photomanipulations that I make ( http://zensui.deviantart.com/gallery/digitalart/photomanip/) wouldn't be possible without layer modes.
