Description Andrea Olivotto 2005-09-15 06:48:13 UTC 
Another hint for histogram:

- if you select a part of histogram, show (in red? flashing?) the 
corrispondent pixels in the picture.

This is helpful to correlate histogram to image.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2005-09-15 16:02:41 UTC 
How would this work? You wouldn't want to have the colors flashing all time.
Does this only happen while the mouse button is being pressed?
Comment 2 Andrea Olivotto 2005-09-20 17:46:44 UTC 
When I drag the mouse over th histogram, a part of it would be selected.

In the image, the pixels of that part of histogram will blink.

When I click over the histogram again the selection disappears, and blinking 
areas stop blinking.

At the same time, you could implement two checkboxes, one for blinking 
highlights and one for blinking clipped blacks.

This could be useful for retouching photos, my hobby.

Comment 5 Andrea Olivotto 2007-04-02 09:41:51 UTC 
Any chance to see the improved histogram in the GIMP?

It's very useful for photo retouching, expecially in real time when applying levels or curves, see in ufraw (http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/) program and in any other commercial software (Adobe Lighroom , ...).

Without it, it's hard to apply levels to a photo without burning the highlights or the shadows.

Any news?
Comment 7 Sven Neumann 2007-10-26 06:30:39 UTC 
Andrea, please do not put such comments into our bug-tracker. We will add a comment to this bug report for any related changes. So there is absolutely no need to ask for progress. By doing so you are stealing our time that we would like to use for implementing new features.

We haven't even decided yet if we want this feature at all so this needs further discussion on the mailing-list before it is implemented.
