Sorry for the double post....

Graphic image manipulation programs are closely tied to multimedia .
This is a topic that I was hoping to open up to the group;however,
in my case I have been tied up with low level stuff.

It is never too late to start talking about cool graphic/image
manipulation 8) If you visit my sound driver web page , 
you will see a neat looking heading which was generated over the
net using net-fu:
http://rah.star-gate.com/HyperNews/get/forums/sound.html
http://scheme.xcf.berkeley.edu/net-fu/

So lets open up to the forum by starting to talk about gimp or a cool
gimp image procedure or filter . Any takers?

Why gimp? Cause there are tons of references in the web about gimp and
in some cases people translate adobe photoshop procedures to gimp.
Among many things, one of the nice features of gimp is that it has
a plug-in interface so additionally functionality is easy to distribute
For example , the scsi scanner software package has a gimp plugin 
interface which allows it to import scanned images directly into
gimp for image manipulation.

Before we get into language wars because gimp's nterpreter is
scheme . Eric Hernes <rrnet.com> wrote a tcl interface for gimp
so at the very least we have to available interpreters to use;although,
most available script-fu procedures are written in scheme.


	Enjoy,
	Amancio
