Looking at the source, it appears that "Auto->White Balance" calls "gimp_levels_stretch" while "Auto->Stretch Contrast" calls a plug-in called "c_astretch". ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Among free software programs Krita, TeX, Cinepaint and Scribus handle CMYK natively, and all but TeX can use ICC color profiles. Gimp and Inkscape don't yet, and that limits their acceptablity in the publishing world despite their other excellent features. Book designers want CMYK plus ICC profiles and won't consider a product that lacks that capability for color work. The free programs listed above that most closely approximate Gimp are Cinepaint (a Gimp offshoot0, and Krita. But neither has the range of other features offered by Gimp. and Krita only runs under the KDE desktop found on many Linux systems. It is possible to conceive of a workflow that involved doing most of the creative work in Gimp but a final checkout/conversion to CMYK in e.g., Krita or Scribus. Color separations where needed for the press can be prepared by specialized prepress software and need not involve the publisher. Most printers will accept color files in pdf form so long as the color is in CMYK model. It helps if the PDF adheres to the X3 specification however. Since Scribus already has all this a Gimp to Scribus workflow makes some sense. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Actually, I recall this in gimp 1.2 - I guess this has been fixed in GIMP 1.3 devel cycle. js -><- ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What I see is white; and the preview confirms that the area is only becoming more diffuse, not discolored. Your bug report is only meaningful if you mention what version of GIMP you're using. Otherwise this behaviour may have been fixed since the release you're using.
