Zut. Wouldn't it fall under citation rights? I mean, there are plenty of 
websites that have a little Kandinsky here and there.

My first priority is fix the default implementations for all the functions; 
those will be slow, and then we can do the optimized implementations in the 
independent colorspaces.

Can you give it a try with the wet physics filter? It obviously cannot run the 
entire image in one timer tick, so there should be something clever goingon.

I meant a histogram for all channels combined in one histogram. (I.e, 
different colors for each channel, but combined). Also Casper's remarks.

Good!

I'll propose a long beta period at Akademy.
