GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a graph based image processing framework.

GEGL provides a graph based API and framework to do demand driven, cached, non destructive image editing of sparse storage of larger than RAM images - using CPU or GPU processing. Through babl it provides support for a wide, and extendable, range of color models and pixel storage formats for input and output.

To build gegl-0.3.2 you will also need babl-0.1.14 and a recent version of glib, follow see the output of the configure script for details and optional dependencies.

Changes in this release:

• Operations: • new operations: libraw based raw loading op, tiff-save and tif-load, maze, sepia
• ff-load and ff-save revived, with support from thegrid.io • apply-lens uses less memory, higher precision computation. • disable automatic threading on many ops where it fails • force more operations to prefer operating on linear RGB data for more accurate/physical processing.
• Buffer:
• implement abyss paremeter on gegl_buffer_copy and gegl_buffer_blit • Added start of a microraptor gui based image viewer/non destructive editor. • Optimizations to scaled blitting (speeds up most GEGL UIs a bit)
