For example, this is the line in current gimp code that does the

It will be doable by typing:
ED = E1 + E2 -0.5;
I don't want to discourage you and it's certainly a nice
expert/geek feature but I doubt that the casual GIMP user wants to
type in any formulas.
I know that. Thats why in the future, I want to make them loadable
resources just like brushes and patterns.
This way, less oftenly used layer modes could go packaged with the
GIMP - or be put in a resources page - without cluttering the UI.
And even those who will not like typing formulas may fell tempted to
tweak a little the numbers - like the .5 to .7 above.
Unfortunattely I cannot think, as I've said, of a graphical way to
build such formulas. But...when it's time for it, maybe people here
ont he list can give e some subjetions, and the raw formula writting
canget put behind an "advanced" button.
