hum neither :) It's more

For each pixel, you choose : tone, direction and texture. Of course
your paper things will be nice to have too, but it will come
automaticaly for all colorspaces, right ?

well I was thinking to not implement those function, they have no
sense in that case anyway. But what about convertToQImage ? it would
be nice, because I was thinking to show direction for "zone" with an
arrow (like in the paper I mention above) rather than with a color for
each pixel.

Don't know either :) But as it doesn't stricly follow our logic "all
filters should work with all colorspaces", I wonder if it could cause
any problems ;)
