This lets you play around with your photos and get a particular "look" that you like, and then you can analyze how you got there.
While it's neat to play around with the operations themselves, going back into the photo's history, modifying the operations, etc -- the real strength of this feature is you can save the operations as a single batch operation that can be applied to multiple photos in the future, which is useful if you have a large set of photos from a single shoot that all need the same exact color and exposure adjustments made at once. It's also a super intuitive interface for creating your own filters. Probably a superfluous feature, but it's one of those things that makes a user feel in control of their environment and has a huge 'wow-factor'. _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
