[Bf-committers] Future Refactoring

[Austin Benesh]

I have actually been looking through much of the image code lately, and
*some* of the files (namely IMB_Imbuf_Types.h) have some really nasty
code... Comments that basically state that no one has a clue what the
variable does or its purpose of existence. This isn't a good sign. Anyway,
most of my ideas are on the Wiki page I specified earlier
(http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/ImageRefactoring). I will
continue to post there when I get new ideas or projects up. I am currently
working on support for both 8-bit and 16-bit channels. I'll keep updating
about this.

Hi,

As far as I know nothing was done with the idea...
On a more shorter term, Kent Mein has been working on cleaning up our  
image library, including making it compliant for high-definition color  
images.

I've also mentioned to Michel he could check on the projects as started  
by CinePaint. A complete & extensive imaging module (and dont forget  
movie formats!) remains something we could decide to cooperate with  
others for.

What was your idea what you can help with? :)
