I feel a litlle bit lost at what you are trying to achieve ? At the
beginning of the thread, I got the feeling that you wanted blending
color function for some accessiblity/usuability stuff, but now you are
speaking of an image manipulation framework, which is a big undertaking.
As there is more to image manipulation than color blending and
converting. So please tell us what do you want to achieve so that we can
find the best solution ?
