Fading Memories

Have you already updated your blog?

asked Casper... No, I hadn't. I was chasing an elusive bug in a filter while I really should have profiles Krita to find out why our cool new image separation filter (which works fine and is, in principle really good -- separating a 16 bit/channel rgba image to four 16/bit graychannel images, for instance) gives a result that makes Krita really slow.

Anyway, the first day of the Krita hackathon has been quite productive. We definitely decided not to multithread our display code for now; there are problems with that. Michael worked on his cubism & small tiles filter -- and created initial code to separate images into channels for pre-press.

Fortunately, we've got Thomas Zander here, who know about this kind of stuff and can advise us -- in between working on the Krita toolbox code -- a variant of the code he once wrote for Karbon -- on what's really cool in publishing and things like that. Thomas is getting a little frustrated by the slowness of Menna's laptop and has converted all computers in our place into an icecream network.

Casper is working on a levels widget -- similar to the one in Digikam, but more generic. Tonight, we have little red dots moving on the widget and not getting out of place.

Me, I've been fixing progress bars, removing close buttons from palettes and providing provender. Anyway... It's a fun, if exhausting ride. Here's one snapshot, of the computer room:
