Marketing for 2.4

Some weeks ago, i've involved on Irc to do a kind of Gimp brochure to show new functionnalities, one in the style i already made for Scribus or Inkscape. You can get it at http://www.le-radar.com/temp/Brochure2-4b.pdf

I reached the step where it needs some proofing : - my english is not perfect at all ;) - may be some things should be changed - may be some things should be added

All the comments are welcome.

+ need to save space for a general gimp description.

NB : Please read this with a good pdf reader because of transparency issues.

Okay, here are my corrections:

"EXIF ans XMP support" ans->and "EXIF metadata are used by many cameras to sum up its settings" -> "EXIF metadata is used by many cameras to describe the settings a picture was taken with" -- perhaps a little long. just the 'are->is' replacement would be good then

'makes it a realty' -> 'make it a reality'

'Gimp's plug-ins are no more organized due' more->longer 'in the same time' -> 'at the same time'

The Heal tool preview is not a preview of the heal tool, just a copy of the perspective clone images.

'extract object from a background' -> 'extract an object from a picture' 'older Gimp's release' -> 'older Gimp releases'

I enjoy the use of the word 'graphists'. It is not an English word though. English might say 'graphic artists'.

Grammar Nazis will tell you never to end a sentence with a preposition; this is better treated as a guideline than an inviolable rule. If you're ending a sentence with one, than it would probably be better reworked:

"Many cameras use EXIF metadata to describe the settings used to take the picture."

This is just a suggestion, of course.

That is doubling the effort of Jakub and Karine who, as far as I know, are also working on the 2.4 release notes. Shouldn't you make this a coordinated effort?

Your brochure mentions handling of metadata, but I am afraid that this feature is most likely not going to make it into 2.4. This might still change but currently there is not much working code available.
