Let’s choose for the moment the first option, Edit current. If the configuration meta-data is found in the selected layer, the PhotoFlow filter gives you the choice between starting a new edit (corresponding to the Create new option, in which case the input pixels will be taken from the selected layer and the output will be sent to a new layer above the selected one) or continue editing the current layer (corresponding to the Edit current option, in which case the input pixels will be taken from the layer below the selected one and the output will replace the contents of the selected layer). What does this mean? When the plug-in sends the pixel data back to GIMP, it also saves the editing configuration as a meta-data blob in the GIMP image structure, so that it can be retrieved when the same layer is edited again with the plug-in. The PhotoFlow interface will open up with two pre-loaded layers, one for loading the RAW image and the second one which applies the RAW processing: Instead of opening the file directly, GIMP will call the PhotoFlow plug-in and pass the file name to it. The loading plug-in is very easy to use: launch GIMP, go to File → Open, select a RAW file from disk and hit the Open button. a filter plug-in that can be used to process a selected layer and output the modified image into a new layer, pretty much like the well known G’MIC plug-in.an image loading plug-in that is used by to open and process RAW images.PhotoFlow currently provides two types of plug-ins: The text is still work-in-progress and not yet complete, however I would appreciate any early feedback on what is already written, so that I can tweak the rest of the text according to the comments and suggestions already received… The PhotoFlow GIMP plug-in This topic is intended to be a draft for a blog post or article about the usage of the PhotoFlow GIMP plug-in.
