One of the things that may throw off photoshop users is the place of the=20
adjust submenu: photoshop places it in image (although the things work on=20
single layers, as far as I can tell). I cannot find anything in the Gimp=20
these days.

As for naming, I don't care much. Photoshop 5.5 has:

Levels: for the thingy with the sliders, which we don't have.
Curves: a combination of our color adjustment and brightness/contrast dialog
( I think -- select rgb and you get brightness/contrast.
Color Balance: three sliders going from cyan to red, magenta to green, yell=
ow=20
to blue.
Brightness/contrast: with two sliders

The difficulty is that our brightness/contrast and our color adjustment are=
=20
both Curves, but I think that most problems will be solved if we implement=
=20
the levels thing and put the word "curve" in the menu options for our two=20
curve dialogs.

Yes, I did a bit of reorganizing there now and then. Filter menus grow pret=
ty=20
big; that's a fact of life all users of graphics apps should be reconciled=
=20
with.

It may be an option, at some point in time, to put the "adjust" filters aga=
in=20
in their own toplevel menu.
