F-Spot Photo Enhancement

Notes

Sidebar should be collapsible
Image should be zoom-able
There needs tobe a color picker to set the white balance from a point
Adjustment should work on all files (JPEG, TIFF and raw are examples)
Raw files should be manipulated in a 16-bit workspace
Raw files will look (and act) different that other files – but only when necessary (source color temp is already known; should try to use dcraw for operations whenever possible)
Image preview should instantly update with the latest changes
General profiles (and color balance profiles) should adjust the other widgets automatically
If a profile is selected and a widget changes from the profile, then the profile should switch to “Custom” automatically
Sharpen should sharpen the luminance channel (with a mask based on “find edges”) with an unsharp mask, and should always be performed last (more detail on the sharpening method)
The profiles should be available in batch processing
There should be an option (somewhere) to slowly blink overexposed areas
Much of the raw stuff (of what dcraw can do at least) could be swiped from the RawPhoto plugin for GIMP
Non-raw files could rely upon LittleCMS a bit more than raw files
