"Important progress towards high bit-depth and non-destructive editing in GIMP has been made. Most color operations in GIMP are now ported to the powerful graph based image processing framework GEGL, meaning that the internal processing is being done in 32bit floating point linear light RGBA. By default the legacy 8bit code paths are still used, but a curious user can turn on the use of GEGL for the color operations with Colors / Use GEGL." http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html

Clearly this artist was not a curious user.


I think you're illustrating the point of the author: such an option should be the default. The user shouldn't have to go looking for it.


GEGL is not fully baked yet, using it reduces stability and the operations you can perform. Reviewing the default, non-GEGL GIMP was the right decision.


Through the power of multiple accounts.

Assuming you are just spamming your app, are there any interesting technical details you might like to share to make this less about spamming and more about sharing?


Whether "degrees Celsius" refers to a point on the Celsius scale or an interval is ambiguous and is usually determined by context. Although attempts at conventions have existed the effect of typing rather than writing was not considered when they were created and so those conventions are largely ignored. In this case there is no context so google uses "degrees celsius" and "celsius degrees" to distinguish between a scale point and an interval which is a nice natural language solution in my opinion.

To better see what is happening try:

  0 degrees celsius + 10 celsius degrees
  0 degrees celsius + 10 degrees celsius
  0 celsius degrees + 10 celsius degrees
