GSoC Project - Lazy Selection Tool

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Hi,

It's an _absolute_ requirement for KDE as an org that you can show
that you have submitted code to a KDE project before you can be
considered. We've had too many students who basically couldn't code in
the past. In general, we do want people to start contacting us in 
January latest, integrate with the community, fix some bugs, implement
some features, show their enthousiasm for Krita.

So, this is a real problem... 

If you'd write a proposal and submit it today, and then join us on irc
over the weekend and show some really impressive hacking skills, we'd
still be able to consider you. 

Fixing this bug:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349554

Would definitely impress me.

For the proposal itself, Dmitry's input is needed, but I would also
put in a phase where the existing colorize tool is optimized, and a
phase before that where you investigate what the best option would be:
reuse the colorize tool, or implement a new tool.

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.
