Newly added plug-ins - "artistic"?

Hi,

I just tried the new photocopy, cartoon and softglow plug-ins, and IMHO, when compared to similiar ones, the correct colocation of them would not be in the "artistic" category. They'd better fall under "distorts", maybe with softglow going into "Light Effects"

I have not checked the wiki for menu reorganization, and do not even know if it is still scheduled, so these comments might be redundant. However, BUG #116145 activity show no big deal coming soon in menu re-arranging.

Regards,

Artistic is perhaps not the right place (at least for Photocopy and Softglow, it makes a lot of sense for Cartoon) but why would you want to put them to Distorts? These plug-ins do not distort the pixels at all.

Softglow seems to fit into the "Light Effects" category, Cartoon might as well be filed in the "Edge Detect" category, but "Artistic is OK as well. Photocopy is tricky but I think the "Artistic" category doesn't seem too off for me. I as well pondered about the "Colors" category.

Hmm. We could introduce a "Degrade" category (complementary to "Enhance"), put all the "noise" plugins there and the Photocopy thing as well.

Bye,
