I don't think it's a "small" task if the project involves turning the 
current color balance into a flexible and industry-grade tool.
That would involve not only tweaking the UI but also making the output 
of the tool comply the ASC-CDL standard and storing and retrieving those 
presets.


When I suggested it as a possible GSoC target I was thinking about 
improving the tool to make it suitable for VFX work, not just changing 
the UI.

Offer? :) We usually do participate at GSoC, if that's what you mean :)

I like they way blender does it in the compositing node too, we could
port that "Design" to the GIMP Dialog.
I thought about the numeric input values too, maybe just add the
colorwheels to the current dialog, and keep the sliders / numeric input.
If someone changes the sliders the change is reflected on the
colorwheels and vice versa.

But i think it could get ambigious if the radiobox selector for shadows,
midtones, highlights is still present and the 3 color wheels aswell..

My installer allows you to change the installation directory if GIMP
isn't already installed (if it is, the current version will be
upgraded).

What do you think about the idea?


I guess some people would like to retain numeric input, but that's
just my gut feeling. For me 3-way would be preferable.


The tool could offer both methods so users can choose.
Actually, Blender has two different methods: Lift/Gamma/Gain and 
Offset/Power/Slope (the second is the ASC-CDL standard exchange format 
for color grading).
If the 3-way UI and the current numeric inputs have a correspondence, 
users could change between modes without loosing the grading.

Not bad ;-)

I would definitely want to keep the numbers. For one thing you're not
going to be able to drag those dots-in-circles in real time, since it
can take several minutes to redraw the screen for each change - unless 
the filter was modified to work on the preview image first, at least.

And yes, I have a reasonably recent, powerful computer, but I work with
print-resolution images - 45 to 500 Megapixel digital cameras are not
unheard of either.

In the meantime, just having a colour bar on each slider, or above it,
in the existing dialogue, would greatly help colour balance and also
colourize.

I guess some people would like to retain numeric input, but that's
just my gut feeling. For me 3-way would be preferable.

My builds have default to c:\Program Files\Gimp-x.x.x. However, you can
choose to install it anywhere you like.

The installer script source code is available, you can add this and
contribute a patch.

No one has yet found a fix for the 61 (now 57 in master) strings limit

[Gimp-developer] Enhancement Request: Choose different installation path

[scl]

Hi,

in the Download section of a German computer magazine page [1]
I found the wish to choose GIMPs installation path.
I also think this is a good idea, for instance to have two GIMP
installations in parallel for regression testing.
Unfortunately the Windows installer doesn't provide an option for this,
neither in the default nor in the customized installation.
Before filing an enhancement request in Bugzilla I ask you:
how do you think about it? Would this be a nice feature?

Kind regards,
Sven
