Ajay Ramanathan will try to combine all of the selection tools into three new ones to unify them where it makes sense. The new selections shall be faster and easier to use.

Carlos Zubieta works on further OpenCL-based GEGL operations. There are lots of operations that have no OpenCL support yet. He will try port GEGL ops to OpenCL based on this list: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking: ... nd_effects

Marek Dvorožňák has picked a very interesting topic. He will work on a new tool bringing n-point-deformation to GIMP. It should allow you to deform objects in a different way than the existing IWarp – the deformation shall behave more like real world objects (better edge preserving, etc). Some will know this kind of deformation from Photoshop where it is called Puppet Warp. Marek wants it to be more intuitive and fast enough.

Simon Lui’s goal is to improve the support for Photoshop PSD files in GIMP. Currently some things are broken which are to be fixed first, then he is going to enhance the plug-in to allow importing PSD strokes, duotone, layer effects and more.

Sorry about double post, there was an error when i posted
can a mod remove one
thanks

Yes, a user can delete his own post if there are no posts following it. In the post you want to delete, there should be a button in the lower right corner. That is the delete button.

I have deleted the duplicate posts (there were 3).

That error can arise when using special characters associated with other languages, such as the characters used in the name: Dvoroznak (with special characters removed). It has to do with mixing collations in mySQL. It happens so infrequently, I haven't bothered to track down the issue and fix it. Perhaps, I'll get around to it one of these days.

Thanks for the GSoC info!
