Implement gimp-resynthesizer in Gimp 2.8
Written by Bubble the 14 Jan 11 at 08:14.
New
Resynthesizer is a plug-in for Gimp which works like the "Content aware Fill"-Filter from Adobe Photoshop. It's already available in the Ubuntu Universe.
From the Website (
http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer)
Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses:
* Creating more of a texture (including creation of tileable textures)
* Removing objects from images (great for touching up photos)
* Creating themed images (such as the Resynthesizer logo above)
Rename 'Documentation for the GIMP' to 'GIMP help'

i would rename 'documentation for the GIMP' to 'GIMP help'.
this change will position the software directly beneath the GIMP programme, which makes it easier to find. no need to scroll down in the list. simply grouped together.
Building websites

I see this a lot on the Internet, starters that want to have a site without learning scripting languages. They want it to be done in a short time, but still want it to look good. So they go to people to let them make it for them, and afterwards they pay these people. I know they should learn scripting languages but some people just don't have their interests in there.
Solution #1:
Give Gimp, Inkscape and Scribus a unified look and feel
Written by

This will make Gimp, Inkscape and Scribus better to compete with the Adobe Creative Suite.
Because of a unified look and feel it will be easier to work with the programs.
To accomplish this the developers of the programs need to work together.
Maybe the developers can get help from universities who are working with graphic software.

All-in-one Modular Graphic Software

A software composed by different modules: a viewer, bitmap editor, vector editor, desktop publishing, web creator, and so on. The user chooses which modules wants to install or use by the time he/she opens a file or creates a new project.

Solution #3:
Develop a "recommended" UI plan for gnome projects.
I'm not sure if one already exists, so bear with me.
One of the problems I believe is keeping programs from unifying is the lack of a recommended UI design. People start making projects and just throw buttons at it whenever they need a new feature. Over time the layout becomes caotic and a huge mess, so the project enters a "fix-it" stage where the UI is redone and made more functional.
The problem is that each project is doing this individually and only taking small hints from other projects. If there were a simple, elegant and extendable layout and scheme for gnome, or linux for that matter, it would help the projects in the "fix-it" stage to evolve into having similarly designed UIs.
What we need is that simple, elegant yet extensible layout design and a group of people (or projects) to start pushing it.

Solution #4:
Ensure that all creative applications work properly with Gnome-Globalmenu
Written by
ethana2 the 28 Jun 09 at 23:35.
When you have a large screen with a scribus or inkscape window maximized, a menu bar that's not on the top screen edge becomes inconvenient. While ubuntu isn't likely to default to a global menu for a variety of reasons, it's a crucial part of the professional workflow --ask any graphic designer who uses a Mac Pro with a Cinema display.

Introduce the core folks to each other

Bring core developers of Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus, and maybe some OpenOffice folks physically into the same room to discus the matter.

Introduce a unified tiling window manager
Written by
ethana2 the 9 Jul 09 at 07:56.
for dialog use by inkscape, gimp, and other applications. Few end users use tiling window managers on their desktops, but GIMP developers seem to expect them to. Speaking as an xmonad user, this is ridiculous.

Solution #7:
Add the option to have similar keyboard shortcuts
I like each of the applications individually but it's a pain having to learn and remember a different set of keyboard shortcuts all of the time.
Adding an option to overwrite the keyboard shortcut for common tools (move, eyedropper, paint bucket etc) with a unified set would be very useful.

CMYK editing in GIMP
Written by MattRogers1982 the 23 Jun 09 at 12:31.
New
We are constantly discussing the relative benefits of open source software when compared to its commercial counterparts, and GIMP has somewhat become the posterboy for this ideology as it compares very favorably to Photoshop the industry standard software for image processing.
However, GIMP suffers from several omissions which mean that many professionals cannot see it as a viable alternative and as such cannot make the switch to linux.
The most obvious of these is the inability to edit in CMYK as opposed to RGB making GIMP impractical for individuals making images for print as opposed to digital distribution.
Gimp plugins centrall.
Written by cracken226 the 14 May 09 at 17:02.

Gimp addons/plugins list by default software addon for easy access for users without experience. It should be an external program in the Applications-Graphics-Gimp plugins also called quick plugins list access software. Additional software managed by 3rd party, Ubuntu community and users. Www site and repositories are not easy to use for everybody. Run software, choose install/uninstall plugin, that is it. Easy.
Solution #1:
Gimp plugins centrall.
In Gimp applications should be option to see an list of all available plugins/addons from all available system repositories to install from. Software running externaly without Gimp. Not everybody using this super cool software is an advanced Linux user, without knowledge, how to use repositories. Software should have access to all available plugins from many working sources to choose from managed by everybody using Ubuntu. Managing help and users cooperations, communication should be Live as always used by all communication systems available after installation/upgrade of the system by default.

Solution #2:
Online community communication channel for help to choose appropriate plugin.
This software should be enabled for Live account communication as well, to find help online, communicate with others by all communication software included in Ubuntu system. Not just for list of favorites plugins, users controlled star systems to see, what others are using, but for Live communication, how to install, solve problems, to chat with all community connected to Ubunty communication system.

gimp don't attend well, painters any longer

with the new programs for digital painting like: painter or artweaver have show us a better way to make digital paint.
gimp is good as photo manipulation program, but i see he has the capability to become a greate paint program to. To become a great painting program he needs to give rapid acess to brush size and a fine color selection palet
Layer Effects in GIMP 2.6

Whilst many Layer effects can be acheived in GIMP using GEGL this technique is rather un-userfriendly and makes effects such as self shadowing unnecessarily convoluted.
No embed windows in Gimp

When using Gimp several windows can be opened and it can get very confusing where all this windows are especially if multiple other program are opened.
