This sounds interesting, although I wish I knew what a gray level curve was (is it that histogram-like thing that you get on some cameras that shows you how much the value is in the various regions of the picture left to right?). If there is a numerical formula or procedure you can think of where I can give you any random pixel, and you can use that pixel's value, (and maybe position or some other data that should be obtainable from that pixel), the three input values, and three output values, I can imagine a plug-in being created. I can't think of any such thing, unfortunately. Otherwise, my next guess would be resorting to a bogo-sort-like "algorithm", which would take years to come up with a result for one image. I'm sure someone else can do better, obviously. Is there a display function/filter/tool/plug-in/script-fu/etc for the grey level curve in GIMP though? IIRC, in GIMP 1.x, there was a plugin that would, at the least, I believe, normalize the grey curve (although I may be wrong)... appraently the plug-in is no longer necessary for it's purpose in GIMP 2.x, although I don't know. What about the Layer | Colour | Curves dialgoue thingie (Colour | Curves in GIMP 2.3.4)? -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
