Merge mode lays the source layer on top of the destination, same as
normal mode, however, it assumes the source and destination are two
parts of an original whole, and are therefore mutually exclusive.
This is useful for blending cut & pasted content without artifacts,
or for replacing erased content in general.
Calculates the dot product of the two input colors, and uses that
as the value for all the output color's components. Basically,
a per-pixel mono mixer.
Useful for custom desaturation, component extraction, and crazier
stuff (bump mapping!)
Include erase mode in the menu for layers and general paint tools.
This makes the eraser tool somewhat unnecessary, but allows for
interesting use cases (e.g., airbrush eraser, etc.)
... and get rid of the dedicated op. This gives us support for all
the blend/composite options for this mode.
Rename COLOR_ERASE to COLOR_ERASE_LEGACY, with perceptual blending/
compositing and immutable everything, and add a new COLOR_ERASE
mode, defaulting to linear blending/compositing, with mutable
everything. Modify affected code.
being exported to libgimp, and having a non-exported value, this is a
horrible mess like with GimpLayerMode, but at least the cruft value
names are deprecated now.
A bitmask, specifying in which contexts a layer mode is applicable.
Can be a combination of:
- LAYER: usable as a layer mode for actual layers.
- GROUP: usable as a layer mode for layer groups. Currently, all
modes that specify LAYER also specify GROUP, and vice versa,
but the planned pass-through mode will be GROUP only.
- PAINT: can be used as a paint mode.
- FADE: can be used for fading.
Add a 'context' field to _GimpLayerModeInfo, and provide context
masks to all the modes.
Use the context mask for validation when setting a layer's mode.
The next commit will use the mask when populating the layer mode
menus.
and to operations/layer-modes/, respectively.
Add gimp_layer_modes_init() which asserts on the correct order of the
GimpLayerModeInfo array, and switch to accessing the array directly in
gimp_layer_mode_info().
Similar to the Photoshop mode of the same name. Assigns
either 0 or 1 to each of the channels, depending on whether the
sum of source and destination channel values is less than, or
greater than (or equals to), one, respectively.
This is equivalent to inverting the source, and using it to perform
per-pixel, per-channel threshold against the destination, which is
useful for various effects.
Largely based on a patch by Ell, with the enum type renamed and
various small changes. Adds another axis of configurability to the
existing layer mode madness, and is WIP too.
C++ won't allow us to use GimpLayerMode in the API where we used to
have GimpLayerModeEffects.
Move GimpLayerModeEffects to libgimpbase/gimpcompatenums.h so it's
not in the API any longer, and instead typedef and define stuff in
libgimp/gimptypes.h, and adapt the compat enum registering code
accordingly.
For operations needing to override default behavior sub-classes should still be
used.
This commit also enables pinligh, vividlight and linearlight blend mode modes
with proper value names. Mark most values as _BROKEN because they use
weird alpha compositing that has to die. Move GimpLayerModeEffects to
libgimpbase, deprecate it, and set it as compat enum for GimpLayerMode.
Add the GimpLayerModeEffects values as compat constants to script-fu
and pygimp.
Change GimpHistogram to take a "gboolean linear" parameter and always
honor that parameter, so both kinds of histograms can now be created
for all drawables.
Add a horrible "Linear" toggle to the histogram dockable which always
defaults to the active layer's actual pixel format, but can be
switched at any time. This UI is ugly and needs to change.
On the PDB, default to gamma-corrected if the plug-in is unaware of
higher precision, and to the drawable's native pixel format otherwise.
Other places using histograms (e.g. levels, curves) are unchanged.
