'''Photo Realistic''' - creating high quality photo realistic

'''Icons in the Toolbox:'''
 
* not meaningful enough
 
* should have strong contours, be good metaphors, differentiate by colours
 
* pen and pencil have almost the same angle and colour, at least the colour should be changed
 
* new icons for Dodge or Burn tool and Eraser
 
* Levels, Curves, Threshold represent the dialog window, not the its meaning & function
 
* all the transformation tool look almost the same, the colour is the same, just the details differ
 
* Ink tool would be better represented with a nib
 
* Crop&resize is not enough differentiated from the bg, and it’s difficult to know what it is; traditional two 'L' were better
 
* Measure tool is too complicated, detailed; old one was better (look at www.doc.gimp.org)
 
 
 
'''Open Image Window''' <br />
 
 
Not a native dialog.<br />
 
Left favorite directories, top- path.<br />
 
Doesn’t show files that are shortcuts to folders (in Windows).<br />
 
Maybe GIMP could remember that during one session/ or within one folder we want to see the files in Open dialog sorted by time.<br />
 
 
Conclusions<br />
 
Dialog is not the standard dialog of the operating system.<br />
 
Dialogs should be implemented natively (Open and Save dialogs should be implemented according to platform dialogs.).<br />
 
If you have cross platform projects, adopt them to the platform. Do not compromise, so that it fits all of them. <br />
 
 
 
'''Acquire Scanner/Camera'''<br />
 
 
To Scan you need to install SANE plugin.<br />
 
It should show possible devices and let user chose one, knowing what type of device it is.<br />
 
 
 
'''Open Location'''<br />
 
 
Technological solution, there is no user interface solution at all.<br />
 
It’s usefulness is very limited for copy and paste of technical details.<br />
 
Not acceptable is the fact to type the whole ‘http://’ by yourself.<br />
 
Too sophisticated. It does the job, but you can’t make any mistake.<br />
 
You should be ale to go to a website and browse your way towards it.<br />
 
 
It’s also possible to drag and drop an image to toolbox from IE so that it opens, but it doesn’t work for FF.<br />
 
 
Conclusions<br />
 
User has to adapt to machine! That’s wrong<br />
 
If dragging and typing are supported, it’s good<br />
 
Maybe there should be a small project to find the solution for mini browser for Open location dialog.<br />
