Could we study the ability to share some tools between MLT, Kdenlive and
Digikam with limited dependencies? 

This involves some work but this is to avoid creating duplicate tools. 

I think of :

Color curves
Exposure: White Balance
Color: White Balance
Black and white points: White Balance or Adjust Levels
Contrast: Adjust Curves
Saturation: White Balance or Vivid or Hue/Saturation/Lightness
Resizing (interpolation) : Change Size
Sharpening
Etc ...

All processes common to video and image editing.

Kind regards,
