GSoC Project - Lazy Selection Tool

[Yang Fang]

Hi,


I understand. Given what you say, I think it will be in my best interest to simply acquaint myself with the software/community this year & reach out earlier in the coming years. Thanks for your time!


Thanks,

Yang

Hi, Yang!

To apply to this project I would expect the the proposal to contain
technical details on how you are going to implement it, and at least a
draft of the class-level architecture.

The engine is basically implemented in Colorize Mask feature. Ideally it
should be rewritten to use watershed algorithm, but it might also work
as it is now. The GUI part is the most difficult one.

If you manage to write a proposal and provide at least one patch by
Monday evening, we can consider this project.

I am applying to do open source work through the GSoC program, and only recently came across the Lazy Selection tool project idea for Krita. As a frequent user of mostly proprietary photo manipulation tools (which do not contain a similar foreground selection tool, or only irritatingly difficult/inaccurate versions of it), I am intrigued and would like to help realize a potentially powerful function that I myself would use often.

However, I am very much interested in the goals of this particular project and am seeking guidance (especially from DmitryK) on whether there is any way I can still apply to work on it.
