I was going to try and explain but cant. From the end users point of view it means nothing really. It is a library which the developers can use to do all the fancy stuff to the graphics. From a photographers point of view the major feature of utilising the GEGL library is the output of 16bit, 32bit, LAB and CMYK. I don't think it makes a difference if you are using jpg but it does if you are converting RAW files. Up till now I have been using Digikam to convert my photos. But I felt needed to do a bit more to certain parts of the image. Like shadow areas to bring out the detail. But GIMP can't do it properly as I get stepping. With 16 bit it would smooth out the details more like this http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/16-bit/ > >>>> >>>> >>> When GIMP finally get GEGL into its stable releases (I haven't checked >>> it out yet, so I'm presuming it's not there yet) then GIMP should >>> really be able to compete with "the others" properly. >>> >>> > Ok so what is GECL, ?
