Hi,

while we are talking about the roadmap. There are some tasks left unfinished that we should set on the agenda. At least so that people realize that there's work left to be done. Perhaps we can attract some developers who want to fix them.

Heal Tool ---------
The heal tool needs to be finished. Currently it only allows stamping but it should be possible to actually paint with the heal tool.

We have already discussed this earlier here. As far as I understand this mainly needs someone to actually finish the work. Some good understanding in the math involved is probably useful.

Sample Points -------------
Sample points are in 2.4 but they are not quite done yet, It's hard to discover how to set them and how to manipulate them. The Sample Points dialog only deals with a fixed number of sample points. And I think that Sample Points don't support sampling a region as the Color Picker tool allows you to do. That would be pretty important though to make them useful for color corrections.

Needs some thoughts on the UI. Depending on what comes out of this, we might get away with only some relatively simple changes.

Foreground Select Tool ----------------------
The SIOX crew has developed a refinement brush for the foreground select tool (see siox.org). That would certainly make the tool a lot more useful. There is even some code for this already in our code base, it is just not used yet.

This involved getting into contact with Gerald or one of this students. They should be able to explain what needs to be done. We can then review it from a user interface point of view and implement it.

Last time I asked in #gimp I was told that sample points are not color managed too.

Currently nothing except the display is color-managed.

As far as I can see, things like the color picker and also sample points only need to be aware of color-management for the display of CMYK values. Currently this conversion is done using the naive RGB->CMYK conversion ignoring the configured CMYK profile. This should indeed be addressed. This is part of the "Finish color management" task but it is something that I omitted there.
