GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 114268
previews of color changes should work on the displayed image, not on the full image
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:51:55 UTC
When previewing the result of some color transformations (curves, levels, brightness, etc.), the preview should work on the displayed image instead of using the tiles from the original image. So if the GIMP caches a scaled-down preview of the image (bug #76096), the color transformations could be previewed much faster. See also bug #90421. Being able to update a preview based on the displayed image would be useful for the tools listed above. This would also be useful for all plug-ins dealing with colors, if the preview image is made accessible through the PDB.
Caching a scaled-down version of the projection is not at all related to this feature. Color correction is applied to individual drawables, not to the image projection. In order to speed up the imagemap tools, we would have to create a scaled-down version of the affected drawable while bug #76096 talks about improving the display by using a better scaling algorithm for the image projection. The dependency on bug #76096 seems wrong to me.
Changes at the request of Dave Neary on the developer mailing list. I am changing many of the bugzilla reports that have not specified a target milestone to Future milestone. Hope that is acceptable.
Setting milestone Future, this doesn't look like an essential feature. Dave.
Removing the dependency on bug #76096. There is a relation but #76096 can be implemented w/o any scaled-down drawables so there is definitely not a dependency.

Filters with on-canvas preview now at least process the visible area first, which is already quite an improvement.
